ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the identification of a component of a medical device. The medical device is realized for the alternative attachment of a plurality of components. By means of infrared reflection sensors an emitted signal that is reflected by an attached component is detected. The reflected signal has a shape that is characteristic of the component. The component is identified through determination by the infrared reflection sensors that detect a reflected signal. The invention allows for alternative components that can be attached to be identified efficiently and with little outlay.
