Abstract: The holding plate for medical equipment, in particular for medical blood pressure measuring, blood withdrawal, infusion and transfusion apparatuses which have a plate-like fixing device with which they can be fixed to the holding plate, has two parallel guide tracks (3, 4) with grooves (4, 5; 27, 28) for accommodation of the plate-like fixing device. At least one of the grooves (4, 5) has a stop (13). A spring-pretensioned (6) catch stud (10) protrudes from the holding plate (1), the stop (13) and the catch stud (10) having a distance between them, based on the longitudinal direction of the guide tracks (3, 4), which corresponds to the length of the plate-like fixing device.
