615537 A device for opening a line, the line being a tube in which there is a sealing element that blocks the line passage. The device has at least one opening mechanism (10) that applies a force that acts on the line from the outside, as a result of which the sealing element is compressed and the line is opened. The device or opening mechanism has a processor unit that, at certain times, indicates or initiates the actuation of the opening mechanism to be undertaken and/or only initiates this if the line is in the correct position in the opening mechanism and/or monitors the opening procedure of the line.
