1. A method for operating a medical apparatus comprising the steps of:
- for a medical apparatus, storing in a databank a plurality of possible execution sequences, selected from the group consisting of processing steps and operating steps, for said medical apparatus;
operating said medical apparatus using a manually-entered execution sequence and, as said manually-entered execution sequence is executed by said medical apparatus, comparing said manually-entered execution sequence to said plurality of execution sequences in said databank and obtaining a comparison result; and
optimizing operation of said medical apparatus dependent on said comparison result.

Abstract
The operation of a medical device or system is simplified and improved by storing data with respect to possible processing or operating sequences in a data bank. The stored data are compared to processing or operating steps executed by a user. Dependent on the comparison result, prompts to further, meaningful processing or operating steps are generated, and settings and functions of the medical device or system are automatically implemented.

13. A system comprising:
-
a medical apparatus;
a databank in which a plurality of possible execution sequences for said medical apparatus are stored, selected from the group consisting of processing steps and operating steps;
a control unit for operating said medical apparatus, said control unit having access to said data bank;
an input/output unit allowing entry by a user, into said control unit, of a manually-entered execution sequence for said medical apparatus; and
said control unit operating said medical apparatus using said manually-entered execution sequence and, as said manually-entered execution sequence is executed by said medical apparatus, said control unit comparing said manually-entered execution sequence to said plurality of execution sequences in said databank and obtaining a comparison result, and optimizing operation of said medical apparatus dependent on said comparison result. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
