A medical-technical identification device and a method for identifying a sterile product, altering the memory content and/or programming a medical equipment (1) are provided. A fixedly mounted information carrier (9) is adapted to deliver, exchange or to offer specific information in a contactless fashion to a reading element (12) connected to the medical equipment. The identification device forwards specific data to the medical equipment, such as an infusion-type fluid pump. Thus, the medical equipment may be re-programmed, for example to change, adjust or update its operation mode.
