The invention relates to a humidity detection device for a device for monitoring an access to a patient, for an arrangement by which a liquid is delivered to a patient and/or a liquid is removed from the patient via a hose line, in particular for monitoring the vascular access in an extracorporeal blood treatment, in particular for monitoring a central venous catheter in acute dialysis. In addition, the invention relates to a device for monitoring an access to a patient, and a method for producing a humidity detection device for attachment to a monitoring device. The humidity detection device according to the invention is characterized in that at least a portion or section of the device is designed as a resilient fastening element (54), with sections (54A, 54B) engaging around a hose line or a connection system of a hose line. The fastening element (54), designed in the manner of a clip, allows the humidity detection device to be fastened quickly and reliably to a hose line.
