Abstract:
1. A medical apparatus comprising at least a medical machine for fluid treatment configurable in a plurality of operating configurations, the medical machine exhibiting: means for treating a fluid including a predetermined number of sensors for detecting functioning parameters of the medical machine and a predetermined number of actuators for intervening in order to modify functioning parameters of the medical machine; a control unit at least for sending command signals and for receiving information from the means for treating a fluid, the control unit sending command signals to the actuators and receiving data from the sensors in order to set the operating configuration of the machine; a device for entering data to be supplied to the control unit for enabling a user to generate the command signals for the means for treating a fluid; a display for viewing at least a part of the information received from the control unit relating to the means for treating a fluid; remote access and control means for enabling a remote control unit to take control of a predetermined number of functions of the medical machine for treatment of a fluid, the remote access and control means being configured to receive in input at least one identification datum coming from the remote control unit, the control unit of the medical machine being configured to selectively enable or inhibit the remote access and control means from taking control of at least a part of the predetermined number of functions of the medical machine according to the at least one identification datum received; wherein the control unit of the medical machine is further configured so that (a) if control has been granted to the remote access and control means and (b) if the medical machine is thereafter in a preselected operating configuration, the control unit can selectively inhibit the remote access and control means from maintaining said control of at least a part of one or more of the predetermined number of functions of the medical machine whereby the remote access and control means loses said control of said at least a part of one or more of the predetermined number of functions of the medical machine.
