Abstract
In a multi-sensor device for a medical apparatus at least one first sensor unit and at least one second sensor unit are arranged at a fluid-guiding line connection along which the sensor units detect at least one variable from a flowing fluid in predetermined proximity to each other in such manner that predetermined signal portions occur and are detectable practically simultaneously in outputs of each of the first and second sensor units. In a method for defining a proximity in said multi-sensor device, positions of the individual sensors are varied in the multi-sensor device and the occurrence of predetermined signal portions is detected in at least two signals detected by the individual sensors, and those positions at which the predetermined signal portions occur practically simultaneously are defined as positions of the proximity.
