PROCESS AND CONTROL UNIT FOR COORDINATING ACOUSTIC SIGNALS OUTPUT BY DIFFERENT MEDICAL DEVICES

A process coordinates the acoustic alarm signals output by different medical devices (1). A first medical device (1a) outputs, at a time interval before an output of a n acoustic alarm signal, a pre-signal which differs from the acoustic alarm signal with respect to at least one property. A further...

Summary:A process coordinates the acoustic alarm signals output by different medical devices (1). A first medical device (1a) outputs, at a time interval before an output of a n acoustic alarm signal, a pre-signal which differs from the acoustic alarm signal with respect to at least one property. A further device receives the pre-signal output by the first medical device (1a) and carries out an analysis of the received pre-signal. As a function of a result of the analysis of the pre-signal, an alarm signal output unit (4) of a second medical device (1b) is driven in such a way that, as a function of the result of the analysis, at least one property of an alarm signal which is currently being output or will be output by the alarm signal output unit (4) is at least temporarily changed and/or a pre-signal is transmitted by the second medical device (1b).
