Patent ID: 11049617

Abstract:
A method for transferring operational data to a medical device (31, 32) for administering a drug to a patient, the medical device (31, 32) being located in a healthcare environment (3) and connected to a local network (33), comprises the steps of: transferring operational data to be transferred to the medical device (31, 32) to a communication device (40, 41); reading, by means of the communication device (40, 41), information from an identification tag (8) attached to the medical device (31, 32), wherein the information causes the communication device (40, 41) to access a communication interface (310, 320, 340) associated with the medical device (31, 32); and transferring the operational data from the communication device (40, 41) via the communication interface (310, 320, 340) to the medical device (31, 32). By these means a method is provided which in an easy and comfortable, yet reliable way allows transferring operational data from an external server to a medical device located within a non-public, local network within a hospital environment.
