Device for connecting a plurality of apparatus and instruments of a medico-technical system

The invention concerns a device for connecting a plurality of apparatuses and instruments of a medical-technical system. The invention concerns a device for connecting a plurality of apparatuses and instruments of a medico-technical system with various functions and circuits, a system encompassing several areas and diverse types of components, using connection and linking cables and tubes, and in which various colors are coordinated with individual sectors of the system while geometric symbols correspond to certain types of system components and markers are used for certain connectors. Thus, the connectors of apparatuses and instruments are designated with the color of the respective area, with the geometric symbol of the respective type of component, and with the assigned marker. The links in the connection and linking cables and tubes are designated with the color, symbol, and marker of the assigned area, component type, and marking. As a result, the related apparatus and instrument connectors and cable and tube connectors are identified by the combination of color, symbol, and marker.
