A medical pump device having a hose pump and a replaceable pump hose and provided with a reading means that reads a code mounted on the pump hose. The code corresponds to the deviation of the delivery volume of the individual hose from the set delivery volume. In dependence on the coding signals, the control signals for the pump drive are corrected so that defined delivery rates are obtained even with in wide hose tolerances.

Medical pump device

A pressure sensor for determining the pressure of a medium in an elastic hose section. A pressure member acts on a unilaterally fixed bar carrying an influencing member at its free end. This influencing member is a core of a coil arrangement, the position of the core changing the frequencies of the oscillator coils. Numerous pressure values are received at regular intervals and, subsequently, a representative pressure value is obtained by averaging.
