Abstract: An operating table with a patient support surface, or a ceiling unit having one or more arms, includes at least one component which can be moved by an actuator. The devices include a user interface via which a user can input a command for moving the component to a user interface microcontroller. A control device can query data of the user interface microcontroller, authenticate it and, upon a successful authentication, to control the actuator in order to move the component in accordance with the command of the user. The control device can include a first microcontroller and a second microcontroller.

Abstract: An operating table and a method for an operating table are disclosed. The operating table has an adjustable component, a drive device that adjusts the adjustable component, and a first sensor that detects a position of the adjustable component. The operating table also has a second sensor that detects the position of the adjustable component and a controller that controls the drive device. The controller operates in a first operating mode and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode of the controller, the first sensor is activated and the drive device is energized. In the second operating mode of the controller, the second sensor is activated and the drive device is de-energized The controller changes from the second operating mode to the first operating mode when the second sensor detects a change of the position of the adjustable component.

Abstract: An operating table system is disclosed. The operating table system has a first transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to a transport device, a second transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to an operating table column, and a coupling device that couples a patient support and the operating table column. The first transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a request command and a transfer command to the second transmitting-receiving device. The second transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a device address to the first transmitting-receiving device. The coupling device is actuated based on the second transmitting-receiving device receiving the request command and the transfer command and the first transmitting-receiving device receiving the device address.

Abstract: In a patient bed for an operating table, comprising a plurality of bed portions (18, 32, 70, 72), of which a middle portion (18) is designed for connection to the supporting column of the operating table and which are coupled releasably to one another via interfaces (30, 68), at least one bed portion (70, 72) being adjustable in relation to an adjacent bed portion (32) in the region of an interface (68), the middle portion (18) of the bed (16) is connectable at at least one of its ends, via a first interface (30), to the one end of an intermediate portion (32) which is connectable at its other end, via a second interface (68), to a further bed portion (70, 72), the first interface (30) having two first coupling elements (34, 36) which engage positively one in the other for a rigid connection and which have transmission elements coming into contact with one another during interengagement and intended for the transmission of signals and/or energy, and the second interface (68) comprising two second coupling ele

Abstract: A device (24) for adjusting an operating table 10 having a column 12 on which an adjustable bed 16 is to be fastened releasably is shown. The device comprises an operating implement 26 for the input of adjustment commands for adjusting the operating table 10. The device 24 comprises means 20, 28 for the direct transmission of the adjustment commands from the operating implement 26 to the adjustable bed 16.
