SYSTEM FOR MONITORING USE OF MEDICAL DEVICE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, namely to a system for identifying an identification characteristic of a medical device comprising an ultrasonic radiating/sensing element. System comprises a device configured to be operably connected to a medical device which is configured to supply an excitation signal to an ultrasonic radiating/sensing element and to receive a detected signal from an ultrasonic emitting/sensing element. Device further comprises a processor configured to process the detected signals from the ultrasonic emitting/sensing element to determine the medical device identification characteristic, which is determined by detected signals from ultrasonic emitting/sensing element occurring in multilayer package of emitting/sensitive element. Processor has the additional possibility of recognizing the medical device identification characteristic from a database of known identification characteristics of medical devices after connecting the medical device to the device.

EFFECT: using the invention enables blocking the use of the medical device when the predetermined limit of use is exceeded.
