Benefits of technology

[0006]Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a medical technology device which can be used both as an individual device and also in conjunction with a second device as a device arrangement and in that respect satisfies existing safety and aesthetic demands.

Problems solved by technology

The problem which arises with all known device arrangements is that the devices cannot be used, or at least cannot both be used, as an individual device.
At least in one of the devices, electrical contacts are exposed in the uncoupled condition so that existing medical device safety standards, for example in relation to protection from spray water, cannot be observed.
In addition the uncoupled individual devices generally do not meet the aesthetic demands which are usual nowadays.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]A medical technology device arrangement 1 in FIG. 1 includes an ultrasound generator 2 and an HF generator 3.

[0032]At the front side 4 the ultrasound generator 2 has a touch screen operating panel 5 and output jacks 6a, 6b. On its housing cover 7 at the top side, in the proximity of the front side 4, the ultrasound generator 2 has an upwardly projecting plug connector 8. Two holding bars 10 are disposed also projecting upwardly but laterally as a prolongation of the side walls 9.

[0033]The output jacks 6a are adapted for the connection of surgical ultrasound instruments and the output jacks 6b are adapted for the connection of combined HF / ultrasound instruments. Combined HF / ultrasound instruments can produce an ultrasound signal and in addition have one or more electrodes for the delivery of HF energy to the tissue to be treated. As the ultrasound generator 2 itself cannot generate any HF energy for the combined HF / ultrasound instruments, it is passed by way of the plug connect...

Abstract

The invention concerns a medical technology device for treatment of the human or animal body, comprising at least one electrical plug connector which is adapted to be connected to a complementary counterpart plug connector of a further medical technology device and which in an active position is arranged projecting upwardly at the top side of the device. To provide a medical technology device which can be used both as an individual device and also in conjunction with a second device as a device arrangement and which in that respect satisfies existing safety and aesthetic demands, it is provided in accordance with the invention that the plug connector is adapted to be movable from the active position into a passive position, wherein in the passive position the plug connector is removed from the top side of the device and the top side is closed in substantially fluid-tight relationship.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2008 047 339.1, filed Sep. 15, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention concerns a medical technology device for treatment of the human or animal body, comprising at least one electrical plug connector which is adapted to be connected to a complementary counterpart plug connector of a further medical technology device and which in an active position is arranged projecting upwardly at the top side of the device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]For many years now the many different possible uses of medical technology have led to a large number of specialised end devices such as for example high frequency generators, ultrasound generators or argon plasma units. In order always to provide the physician with an optimum device for various uses, multifunctional devices or device arrangements have been developed. In...
