AI Technical Summary
Existing medical device labeling systems are complex to manage, prone to confusion, difficult to update, and have poor compliance in the face of multiple global regulations, and are also difficult to achieve diversified designs.
Electronic paper display technology is used as the tag for medical devices. Combined with a near-field communication module, dynamic configuration and information updates are achieved. This includes electrophoretic display technology, cholesterol liquid crystal display technology, or electrowetting display technology. The display content is managed by a processor, and contactless reading and updating are performed using NFC technology.
Optimize the labeling process to save costs, improve the persistence and readability of information, enhance the flexibility of equipment appearance design, reduce compliance risks, and simplify operation and maintenance.

Abstract
Claims
1. A medical device, characterized by include: A frame, which serves as the supporting structure for the medical device and includes a housing; An electronic paper display area, located on the housing, is configured as an electronic tag for the medical device to display information associated with the medical device.
2. The medical device of claim 1, wherein, The electronic paper display area selectively employs electrophoretic display technology, cholesterol liquid crystal display technology, or electrowetting display technology.
3. The medical device of claim 2, wherein, The electronic paper display area uses an electronic paper module with electrophoretic display technology. The electronic paper module includes microcapsules and an electric field control circuit connected to the microcapsules. The microcapsules contain charged particles with opposite charges and different colors. The electric field control circuit is used to control the arrangement of the charged particles, thereby forming images and text of the target color in the electronic paper display area.
4. The medical device of claim 1, wherein, The electronic paper display area includes a primary area and a secondary area. The information associated with the medical device includes proprietary information and personalized information. The primary area is used to display the proprietary information, and the secondary area is used to display the personalized information. The personalized information has a higher update frequency than the proprietary information.
5. The medical device of claim 1, wherein, The medical device includes a processor for receiving display information instructions for the electronic paper display area and managing the display content.
6. The medical device of claim 5, wherein, The medical device includes a first interface and a second interface respectively connected to the processor. The first interface is used to send display information instructions related to customer orders to the processor, and the second interface is used to send information related to the device or supplementary information relative to the display information sent by the first interface to the processor.
7. The medical device of claim 5, wherein, It includes a near-field communication module, which is connected to the processor for contactless reading and updating of information displayed on the electronic tag, and / or for authentication and configuration of the medical device.
8. The medical device of claim 7, wherein, The near-field communication module includes an NFC antenna and an NFC control circuit connected to the NFC antenna. The NFC antenna is disposed inside or on the surface of the housing. The NFC control circuit is used to respond to an external reader via the NFC antenna and send the information displayed by the current electronic tag to the external reader.
9. The medical device of claim 7, wherein, The near-field communication module includes an NFC antenna and an NFC control circuit connected to the NFC antenna. The NFC antenna is disposed inside or on the surface of the housing. The NFC control circuit is used to access data information stored inside the medical device and send it to an external reader / writer via NFC response. The data information is selected from at least one of device configuration, logs, and status information.
10. The medical device of claim 9, wherein, The data information includes or is different from the information displayed in the electronic paper display area.
