Abstract: A method for monitoring remote control suitability includes capturing an instantaneous suitability parameter of a member of remote operating staff. The member of remote operating staff is equipped to remotely control a medical device by a remote control unit. The remote control unit is configured to provide a control signal to the medical device. The suitability parameter is provided by the remote control unit and/or a sensor unit for capturing the member of remote operating staff. The method includes identifying, based on the suitability parameter, whether a reduction in the suitability of the member of remote operating staff exists. In the case of affirmation, the medical device is provided with an alternative control signal, and in the case of negation, the medical device is provided with the control signal.

Abstract: A method for providing a procedural signal includes receiving an item of procedural information including an item of information about at least one procedural step that has been carried out on an object under examination before the beginning of the method, and an item of information about at least one planned procedural step. A physiological patient parameter is received from the object, which has been acquired via a sensor unit during and/or subsequent to the procedural step that has been carried out. The method includes identifying, based on the patient parameter and/or a change in the patient parameter whether the at least one procedural step has been tolerated by the object under examination. A procedural signal is provided that, in the negative, includes an item of information for adapting the at least one planned procedural step based on the procedural information and, in the affirmative, includes approval of the at least one planned procedural step.
