1. A communication device for non-electric communication between devices fluidically connected to one another, characterized in that the communication device is adapted to be arranged in a position in a total fluidic system formed by the devices fluidically connected to one another and to receive and/or transmit non-electric signals, in particular in the form of pressure signals or sound signals, with the non-electric signals being transmitted over a line fluidically connecting the devices to one another.
