Abstract

A holding device for holding and fixing at least one electronic terminal device, in particular of the entertainment electronics type, during a medical treatment, more particularly dialysis treatment. The terminal device is or can be attached to a medical treatment apparatus, such as a dialysis machine, or to a patient bed. The holding device includes an integrated charging unit to supply the held and/or fixed electronic terminal device with power, more particularly from the medical treatment apparatus, with a protection circuit being integrated in the holding device to detect a defect of a terminal device that has just been connected. A charging unit includes an integral power supply unit on a dialysis machine or patient bed having a holding device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A holding device of a dialysis machine for holding and fixing at least one electronic terminal device during a dialysis treatment, the holding device comprising:
a charging unit; and
a protection circuit,
the holding device being attached or attachable to the dialysis machine,
the charging unit being integrated in the holding device and configured to supply the at least one electronic terminal device with power, and
the protection circuit being integrated in the holding device and configured to detect a defect in the at least one electronic terminal device after it is connected.

2. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one electronic terminal device and the dialysis machine are configured to communicate with each other in order to transmit data between the dialysis machine and the at least one electronic terminal device by an input and display device of the at least one electronic terminal device.

3. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one electronic terminal device comprises a mobile terminal device, and
wherein the holding device is configured to clamp the mobile terminal device in a set position posture and allow the mobile terminal device to be brought into different position postures.

4. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device is configured such that a screen of the at least one electronic terminal device is provided and designed as an input/display device that is freely accessible to a user and/or a patient during a treatment.

5. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device comprises at least one circuit that is integrated in the holding device, the at least one circuit comprising a processing and charging circuit.

6. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the charging unit is designed with integrated adapters/charging adapters to electrically connect different models of electronic terminal devices to the charging unit.

7. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device includes a headphone connection.

8. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device is configured to communicate and exchange data with the at least one electronic terminal device via NFC and a corresponding app.

9. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device is configured to supply the at least one electronic terminal device with power via a connection for a cable, which is connected to the dialysis machine or the patient bed, or via an energy storage unit.

10. A charging unit comprising an integral power supply unit on a dialysis machine with a holding device according to claim 1 .

11. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device comprises a frame configured to surround and hold a mobile terminal device.

12. The holding device according to claim 11 , wherein the holding device comprises one or more clamping elements positioned laterally between the frame and the mobile terminal device, wherein the one or more clamping elements are movable to adjust to a size of the mobile terminal device.

13. The holding device according to claim 12 , wherein the one or more clamping elements are slidable within the frame.

14. The holding device according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more clamping elements comprise a first clamping element configured to hold a first side of the mobile terminal device, and a second clamping element configured to hold a second side of the mobile terminal device, the second side being opposite the first side.

15. The holding device according to claim 11 , wherein the holding device further comprises a rear flap movably connected to the frame between a first position to enclose a rear side of the mobile terminal device, and a second position to allow removal of the mobile terminal device from the frame.

16. The holding device according to claim 15 , wherein the rear flap is pivotally connected to the frame.

17. The holding device according to claim 11 , wherein the frame comprises a nurse call key.
