Abstract
The invention relates to a device for operating a breathing apparatus with a touch-sensitive graphical display and just one other mechanical operating element, wherein the basic treatment can be started by pressing down the mechanical operating element, and additional adjustments are made using the touch-sensitive graphical display.
Claims21
An operating device for a breathing apparatus, wherein the device comprises a touch-sensitive graphical display which at least occasionally represents a range of values for a ventilation parameter and numerically displays at least individual values, and a memory for ventilation parameter values, and further comprises
- at least one data point associated with the range of values,
- at least one position on the touch-sensitive graphical display which is associated with the data point using switching logic,
- a switching logic which, when the position on the touch-sensitive graphical display which is associated with the data point using switching logic is touched,
- causes at least one numerical value associated with the data point and/or a confirmation field for a numerical value to be displayed,
- a switching logic which, when the numerical value or the confirmation field is touched, applies this numerical value to an associated respiratory gas parameter and writes this numerical value, together with the associated respiratory gas parameter, to the memory.
An operating device for a breathing apparatus, wherein the device comprises:
- (a) a graphical display which at least occasionally represents a range of values for a ventilation parameter and numerically displays at least individual values, and a memory for breathing parameter values,
- and further comprises
- (b) at least one data point associated with the range of values, at least one position on the graphical display which is associated with the data point using switching logic,
- (c) a switching logic which, when a position of a mechanical operating element assigned to the data point using switching logic is actuated,
- (d) causes at least one numerical value assigned to the data point and/or a confirmation field for the numerical value to be displayed,
- (e) a switching logic which, when the position of the mechanical operating element assigned to the data point using switching logic is actuated, applies this numerical value to an associated respiratory gas parameter and writes this numerical value, together with the associated respiratory gas parameter, to the memory.
