Abstract

L'invention a pour but de fournir un mécanisme permettant de collecter de manière sélective des informations d'un dispositif d'aspiration. La solution selon l'invention porte sur un dispositif de commande comprenant une section de commande qui commande un processus de transmission pour la transmission d'informations d'aspiration qui sont des informations acquises concernant l'aspiration effectuée à l'aide d'un dispositif d'aspiration, chaque fois que les informations d'aspiration sont acquises. La section de commande commande une source de transmission des informations d'aspiration de telle sorte que les informations d'aspiration satisfaisant une condition d'exclusion définie par un utilisateur soient exclues des informations d'aspiration devant être transmises dans le processus de transmission.
