ABSTRACT:
In a system and method to minimize downtimes of medical apparatuses one or more medical apparatuses each has at least: one detection module to detect error situations of the respective medical apparatus, one local database to provide data and information regarding error situations, associated error correction measures and additional information, one analysis module to analyze a present error situation with regard to measures for error correction and/or continued usability of the medical apparatus on the basis of the data stored in the local database, and one output module to output the results of the analysis. The apparatuses are connected with a central database in which data regarding known error situations of the medical apparatuses, associated error correction measures and additional information are provided. The local databases are updated on the basis of the central database. Given detection of a previously unknown error situation at an apparatus, the error situation is evaluated, error correction measures are established, additional information is compiled such as information regarding usability of the medical apparatus before implementation of the error correction measures, etc., the aforementioned data and information are provided to the central database, and the local databases are updated on the basis of the data of the central database.
