A maintenance process conflicts with operator activity if the probability of use of the diagnostic instrument is above a usage probability threshold. The probability of use of the diagnostic instrument is determined based on detected presence and/or movement of an operator in the proximity of the diagnostic instrument and/or operation of the diagnostic instrument.
