  • Patent number: 7371224
    Abstract: A device for rinsing a body cavity with a fluid includes a rinse pump for introducing fluid into a body cavity and a pressure sensor on a pressure side of the rinse pump. A medical instrument insertable into the body cavity is adapted to establish fluid communication with the body cavity. A suction pump is in fluid communication along a first pathway with the medical instrument and along a second pathway with the body cavity. Fluid flow along the second pathway is controllable. A control unit receives pressure values from the pressure sensor, controls the rinse pump, the suction pump, and the flow controller in response to received pressure values, and is thus operative to control fluid flow through the body cavity depending on an operating condition of the medical instrument.

  • Patent number: 6626355
    Abstract: A medical device with a medical apparatus (2) includes an accessory port, and with at least one accessory piece (1) having a connection element that is complementary to the accessory port. The connection element includes a storage unit where coded identification information is stored. With accessory piece (1) connected to device (2) coded or un-coded identification information is readable by a readout unit disposed in the section of the accessory port. In the case of reading coded identification information, de-codable, read-out and de-coded identification information is compared to identification information stored in readout unit. The medical device is activated when the identification information matches the desired identification information. The device is blocked when the identification information does not match. The coded identification information is de-coded by means of a proprietary key code.
