Abstract
A clamping apparatus for clamping off a hose in a fluid system for biological liquids, in particular blood, which has a movably arranged closing member having a closing piece for clamping off the hose, having permanent magnetic holding device which is arranged and designed in such a manner that it can hold the closing member against a force in two different stable equilibrium positions, namely an open position and a closed position, without it being necessary to supply energy to the permanent magnetic holding device for the holding in the respective equilibrium position, and having actuation means in order to move the closed member out of the open position into the closing position.
