Process for calibration of a medical-technical device and a medical-technical device

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for calibration of a medical-technical device which is in operation as a result of mounting a new component on the medical-technical device. The invention moreover relates to a medical-technical device which is made such that it automatically identifies the new component when a new component is mounted on the medical-technical device and displays the necessary steps for calibration of the medical-technical device based on the identification. The medical-technical device however can also be made such that it automatically identifies the newly attached component after its identification.

1 . Process for calibration of a medical-technical device which is in operation as a result of the attachment of a new component to the medical-technical device, which comprises the following process steps: 
 automatically identifying the new component by the medical-technical device and    based on the identification of the new component, displaying the steps necessary for calibration of the medical-technical device by the latter.    
     
     
         2 . Process as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the new component replaces a component of the medical-technical device.  
     
     
         3 . Process as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the new component is a component which can be attached additionally to the medical-technical device.  
     
     
         4 . Process as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the new component has a part which comprises a data record which is suitable for identification of the new component.  
     
     
         5 . Process as claimed in  claim 4 , in which the data record comprises a serial number, an inspection number and/or a material number of the new component.  
     
     
         6 . Process as claimed in  claim 4 , in which the data record comprises at least one important characteristic of the new component.  
     
     
         7 . Process as claimed in  claim 4 , in which the medical-technical device identifies the new component by its reading out the data record of the part of the new component with the computer of the medical-technical device.  
     
     
         8 . Process as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the medical-technical device is a magnetic resonance device, a computer tomograph, an x-ray device, a lithotripter, an ultrasonic device, an isotope scanner or a device for radiation therapy.  
     
     
         9 . Medical-technical device which comprises means for automatically identifying a new component when the new component is mounted on the medical-technical device, and means for displaying the necessary steps for calibration of the medical-technical device based on the identification.  
     
     
         10 . Medical-technical device as claimed in  claim 9 , in which the new component replaces the component of the medical-technical device.  
     
     
         11 . Medical-technical device as claimed in  claim 9 , in which the new component is a component to be mounted additionally on the medical-technical device.  
     
     
         12 . Medical-technical device as claimed in  claim 9 , in which the new component has a part which comprises a data record which is suitable for identification of the new component.  
     
     
         13 . Medical-technical device as claimed in  claim 12 , in which the data record comprises an entry about the serial number, the inspection number and/or the material number of the new component.  
     
     
         14 . Medical-technical device as claimed in  claim 12 , in which the data record comprises an entry about at least one important characteristic of the new component.  
     
     
         15 . Medical-technical device as claimed in  claim 12 , in which the medical-technical device identifies the new component by its reading out the data record of the part of the new component with the computer of the medical-technical device.  
     
     
         16 . Medical-technical device as claimed in  claim 9 , which is a magnetic resonance device, a computer tomograph, an x-ray device, a lithotripter, an ultrasonic device, an isotope scanner or a device for radiation therapy.
