Abstract
A medical apparatus having a control device, the control device being designed to store a target current demand in accordance with requirements of a drive of the medical apparatus, and to determine a minimum current demand corresponding to a minimum requirement of the drive of the medical apparatus during a current operation and, based on the minimum current demand, to adapt a maximum value of the target current demand for the current operation of the medical apparatus, said maximum value being provided to limit the current.
Claims14
A medical device comprising:
- a drive;
- a control device configured to store a target current demand according to requirements of the drive, and to determine a minimum current demand according to a minimum requirement of the drive during a current operation and, based on the minimum current demand, to adjust a maximum value of the target current demand provided to limit the current for the current operation of the medical device;
- and
- wherein the control device is configured, when the minimum current demand exceeds a threshold value, to trigger a signal containing information about wear of the medical device, which is intended for a user of the medical device.
1 more element
A method for operating a medical device, wherein the method comprises:
- storing, by a control device of the medical device, of a target current demand according to requirements of a drive of the medical device;
- determining, by the control device, of a minimum current demand corresponding to a minimum requirement of the drive of the medical device during a current operation;
- and
- adjusting, by the control device, based on the minimum current demand, of a maximum value provided for limiting the current of the target current demand for the current operation of the medical device;
- and
- triggering, by the control device, a signal containing information about wear of the medical device, which is intended for a user of the medical device, when the minimum current demand exceeds a threshold value.
