Definitions
- the invention concerns hospital devices for patient support used in hospitals and care facilities and in systems for controlling their electrical peripherals, storing configuration data and vital function histories, and other similar functions.
- hospital devices such as hospital beds are equipped with a plurality of various peripherals and with a control unit containing firmware and data.
- the stored data and firmware is thus lost. This is undesirable due to the increased complexity of replacing a damaged control unit.
- This firmware update may take place, for example, remotely as described in patent US7852208 , whereby the hospital bed is wirelessly connected to the hospital network and the firmware can be uploaded to the hospital bed automatically from a remote computer.
- the remote computer receives data that also contains the version number of the current firmware, and if the firmware is obsolete, the remote computer uploads a new version of the firmware to the hospital bed.
- This connection method also allows the transmission of up-to-date information about the bed, such as information about its connection to the mains and information about the necessity to service or tilt parts of the bed, even when the hospital bed is being relocated.
- EP2 586 413 A2 A hospital device where the behaviour is influenced by an electronic hardware key is disclosed in EP2 586 413 A2 .

- the peripherals are sensors, drives, connectable accessories, compressors or control units.
- An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a hospital device for patient support such as a hospital bed, a transport bed, or a chair such as a birthing chair or a transport chair.
- the hospital device for patient support includes, for example, a lying area, peripherals, a chassis and a central control unit.
- the peripherals include, for example, a brake sensor or electric brake control, castors, electric control of directional locking or castor rotation, a linear drive for positioning the parts of the lying area, a column drive for lifting or tilting the lying area, display devices, patient life sensors, a sheet-winder, a controller for the driven wheel, various foot controls, a chassis backlight, a massage device, entertainment equipment, physiotherapy equipment, a bed locking module, an automatic castor braking system, a Nurse Call connector, a weight module, controls in the side rails, a side rail limit switch, an RTG limit switch, motors, a patient mobilization system, other features for sensing the position and condition of the patient, a mattress equipped with communication electronics, an active anti-decubitus mattress compressor, a communication module for connecting the hospital device for patient support to a hospital network, a device for peripheral diagnostics and data-intensive peripherals, wherein the communication module may be equipped, inter alia, with a wireless communication device using the IEEE 802.11 standard of the Institute of Electrotechn
- An electronic hardware key is connectable to the hospital device for patient support.
- the electronic hardware key is in the form of non-volatile random access memory, i.e. ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, FRAM, RRAM, NRAM or any other suitable data repository.
- Data is stored on the electronic hardware key.
- Such data may include, for example, various kinds of configuration data for performing required peripheral operations, configuration data for the communication interface for the patient's interaction with the hospital device for patient support, specific constants for the end positions of the motors, or specific constants for the various sensors.
- the communication interface for the patient's interaction with the hospital device for patient support may be, for example, a driver of the driven castor or various other types of hand-held controllers, foot controls, a touchscreen, or remote access devices such as tablets, mobile phones, computers, or specialized devices.
- a required peripheral operation may be, for example, the positioning of the lying area parts, measuring the weight of the patient, moving the hospital device over a surface in a certain direction, changing the height of the lying area, lateral therapy, positioning the lying area to the CPR position, positioning the lying area to the Trendelenburg position, positioning the lying area to the reverse Trendelenburg position, an indication of the elevation of the side rails, an indication that the patient has left the hospital device for patient support, or an indication that the patient intends to leave the hospital device for patient support, switching on the chassis lighting, calling the service staff, measuring the patient's life functions, transmitting the measured data to a remote repository, the transfer of status information about the hospital device for patient support to a remote repository or displaying such data on a display device, the positioning of the side rails, changing the pressure in the mattress, controlling the movement of the massage devices, controlling the device for physiotherapy, controlling the entertainment devices, controlling the electrical devices in the room where the hospital device for patient support is located, winding the sheet and other similar operations.
- the data stored on the electronic hardware key can be encrypted.
- the electronic hardware key is programmed, for example, with a specialized programming device or with a computer that is equipped with specialized software.
- the hospital bed for patient support also includes a port.

- NFC nearfieldcommunications
- only the password for access to a remote repository can be stored on the electronic hardware key.
- the data is then stored in the remote repository.
- the connection of the electronic hardware key to the remote repository is either wireless or wired.
- Each peripheral has a unique serial number, wherein data can be adapted for work with a peripheral with a specific serial number, which is advantageous for the purpose of avoiding the use of unauthorized peripherals.
- data can be adapted for work with a peripheral with a specific serial number, which is advantageous for the purpose of avoiding the use of unauthorized peripherals.
- the electronic hardware key When the electronic hardware key is being connected, the electronic hardware key is connected to the port when the hospital device for patient support is switched off. Another option is to connect the electronic hardware key when the hospital device for patient support is switched on, when the control unit continuously tests whether the electronic hardware key is connected. If the electronic hardware key is not connected or damaged while the hospital device for patient support is switched on, the configuration will not be loaded and the hospital device for patient support will work with limitations in emergency mode.
- the central control unit tests the connection of the electronic hardware key or allows the use of CPR (the cardiopulmonary resuscitation position) or allows for a message on the missing hardware key or a combination thereof to be sent when the device is running in the emergency mode.
- CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation position
- the message on the missing hardware key is sent via a signalling diode, for example, or remotely via the hospital network or the GSM module, for example.
- the hospital device for patient support is switched on into its fully functional mode where the functionality of the individual elements depends on the configuration. If the configuration is not valid, for example, due to it being damaged by the loss of part of the data on the electronic hardware key, the hospital device for patient support remains in the emergency mode.
- the electronic hardware key can be used to store, for example, the history of the patient's vital functions, the weight of the patient, etc.
- the electronic hardware key can also be used as an event register wherein, for example, the failure of some peripheral may be an event that is registered.
- the electronic hardware key may be disconnected without the risk of data loss.
- a non-standard disconnection of the electronic hardware key with the hospital device for patient support turned on, for example, due to a malfunction of the electronic hardware key or an unexpected disconnection of the electronic hardware key may result in a failure of the stored data or the event register.
- the hospital device for patient support may, for example, switch to the emergency mode or remain in the fully functional mode until the hospital device for patient support is switched off or reset, but without the possibility of storing data or the event register on the electronic hardware key.
