Abstract

A medical system, usable for example in connection with a dialysis apparatus, may utilize radar waves for monitoring a patient, a medical area, or an object. The medical system includes at least one sending device for sending radar waves, and at least one receiving device for receiving reflected radar waves. The medical system further includes an evaluation unit for evaluating the reflected radar waves which have been received by the at least one receiving device, resulting in obtaining a result, and an output device for outputting the result or a signal based on the result.
