1. A supply system for supplying a medical device with at least one fluid, the supply system comprising:
a supply unit, wherein the supply unit comprises at least one fluid supply port and a receiver, wherein the at least one fluid supply port is configured to provide a fluid for a medical device; and
an actuating unit, wherein the actuating unit comprises at least one actuating element, which is configured to be actuated by a person, and a transmitter,
wherein the supply system is configured to establish a wireless data connection from the transmitter to the receiver and the wireless data connection is established for a transmission of messages from the transmitter to the receiver,
wherein the actuating unit is configured:
to detect an actuation of the at least one actuating element;
as a portable device, which is configured as a remote control; and
depending on the detected actuation, to generate a message with actuation information identifying the actuation and to transmit the generated message via the wireless data connection to the receiver,
wherein the supply unit is configured to change a parameter of the at least one fluid supply port of the supply unit in response to the receipt of the generated message with the actuation information, wherein the supply unit comprises a first mounting unit, which is configured to receive the actuating unit and to hold the actuating unit detachably, wherein the actuating unit is configured be inserted into the first mounting unit and to be removed again from the first mounting unit, and
wherein the parameter influences a provision of fluid through the at least one fluid supply port.
