Abstract

A measuring device for measuring geometric properties of a medical treatment device includes a measuring unit, a time detection unit, and an RFID writer. The measuring unit is configured to measure a relative position between at least a first part of the medical treatment device and at least a second part of the medical treatment device. The time detection unit configured to detect a time of the measurement, and the RFID writer configured to write a time, based on the detected time, to an RFID transponder of the medical treatment device.
