1. A method for systematically assessing the quality of medical appliances of a generic type that are in operation, having the following method steps:
- a) for medical appliances comprising plural operational modules, acquiring data that are generated during a regular inspection of the medical appliances (11, 21, 31, 41) at the site of the medical appliances (11, 21, 31, 41), b) transmitting the data to a central database (51), c) assigning the transmitted data to modules in the medical appliances (11, 21, 31, 41), and d) storing the data in collective files (200a to 200d), assigned to the modules in the medical appliances (11, 21, 31, 41), of the central database (51) on the basis of the assignment to the modules in the medical appliances (11, 21, 31, 41), wherein each collective file corresponds to a different one of the operational modules.

9. A method for collecting and analyzing the operation of a plurality of like medical equipment, comprising the steps of:
-
a) collecting data at each of a plurality of like medical equipment, the data relating to the operations of plural subsystems of the medical equipment;
b) transmitting the collected data to a central database over a communications network;
c) at the central database, separating the transmitted data into data sets associated with each of the operations of the plural subsystems;
d) for each operation of the plural subsystems, storing the separated transmitted data corresponding to that operation into a corresponding collective file so that data for that operation for the plural medical equipment are collected into the same collective file; and
e) assessing the operation of the plurality of medical equipment for plural of the operations by examining the data collected in the corresponding plural collective files, wherein each collective file corresponds to a different one of the subsystems of the medical equipment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
the plural medical equipment are magnetic resonance apparatuses, and the collective files in one collective file assigned to a magnet system, one collective file assigned to an RF system, and one collective file assigned to a patient positioning system of the magnetic resonance apparatuses.
