Patent ID: 10123806

Abstract:
A control apparatus for a tourniquet device, to which tourniquet device a first compression cuff and/or at least one second compression cuff can be connected, with the compression cuffs having different volumes. The tourniquet device has an inflation apparatus for inflating the connected compression cuff. In order to present a tourniquet apparatus that enables the most efficient and in particular fast inflation of the tourniquet cuff possible and at the same time the most error-free operation of the tourniquet apparatus possible, a parameter set for controlling an inflation process of the respective compression cuff is associated with each compression cuff and is stored in a data memory of the control apparatus. The parameter set associated with each compression cuff depends on the volume of the compression cuff. A method for controlling a tourniquet device and a control system for controlling a tourniquet apparatus having a tourniquet device that has an inflation apparatus and a control apparatus and having a compression cuff that can be applied to a limb and connected to the inflation apparatus.
