Abstract:
A medical device, such as a hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis machine, has at least one housing, electrical and/or electronic components arranged inside the housing, and a user interface. The medical device has a first receiving device accessible outside of the housing and a first communications interface for receiving a proximal end of a medium carrying communication signals. A distal end of the medium is provided for connection to a second communications interface associated with a communications network. Components of the medical device are communicatively connected to the first communications interface. A communication link between the distal end of the medium and the components of the medical device has at least two segments. At least one of the segments transmits communication signals in an electrically non-conductive manner and has electrical isolation between the input and output and/or between the output and input of the segment with a predetermined first dielectric strength.

Claim (Index 9):
A system, comprising:\n a medical device, wherein the medical device comprises:\n a housing; \n electrical and/or electronic components arranged inside the housing; \n a user interface; and \n a first receiving device, accessible outside of the housing, of a first communications interface, wherein the first communications interface is connected to a communications network; \n an optical connection, configured to carry optical communication signals; and a converter device, configured to converter electrical signals into optical signals and/or optical signals into electrical signals; wherein the electrical and/or electronic components of the medical device are communicatively connected to the first communications interface; wherein a communications link between the communications network and the electrical and/or electronic components of the medical device has at least two segments; and wherein at least one of the at least two segments is configured for transmission of communication signals in an electrically non-conductive manner and has an electrical separation between an input of the at least one segment and an output of the at least one segment with a predetermined first dielectric strength; wherein the first receiving device is configured to receive a first end of the optical connection; wherein the converter device comprises a power supply at a second end of the optical connection, wherein the power supply is supplied with power from a power source situated outside of the medical device.
