8.11 Configuring and Updating the Replacement Driving Unit
A configured replacement driving unit must be labeled in such a way
that it is possible to easily allocate it to the correct patient. Otherwise,
switching to the replacement driving unit could result in use of a driving
unit with unsuitable settings. This could lead to insufficient support, no
support, or overloading.
Immediately transfer the changes in the driving parameters to the re-
placement driving unit. Otherwise, the patient will not receive appropri-
ate support if switching to the replacement driving unit becomes
necessary.
