Abstract:
1. A process for operating a respiration system, the process comprising: providing respiration system with a respiratory flow sensor; providing an operating data storage device connected to said respiratory flow sensor, said operating data storage device being readable in a wireless manner; providing a reading unit in the respiration system; reading the contents of said operating data storage device for the respiration system, so that said respiration system is ready to operate only after the operating data have been read, wherein the operating data comprise identification data and/or quality data of said respiratory flow sensor for said respiration system, which data are compared by said respiration system with stored identification data and/or quality data, so that said respiration system is ready to operate only when the compared identification data agree; selecting said at least one patient respiration mode; and operating said respiration system such that said at least one patient respiration mode is executed after reading said contents of said operating data storage device, wherein a patient is respirated with said respiration system based on said contents of said operating data storage device, wherein said respiration system comprises at least one patient respiration mode, wherein an alarm or display is generated on said respiration system when said identification data and/or quality data of said respiratory flow sensor does not agree with said stored identification data and/or quality data, said respiration system not operating when said identification data and/or quality data of said respiratory flow sensor does not agree with said stored identification data and/or quality data.
