Device for controlling an operating state of at least one medical device in a medical data network as well as medical device for a medical data network

A medical device for a medical data network, the medical device comprising:

• a medical device structure comprising:
• an actuator for physiologically influencing a patient;
• a data network interface;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the actuator and the control unit is configured:
• to select an operating parameter of the actuator as a function of at least one information signal received via the data network interface from another medical device;
• and
• to activate an operating state of a combined therapy in the medical device upon receipt of a request message, wherein the combined therapy is carried out via the medical device and the another medical device.

A system, comprising:

• a first medical device;
• a second medical device;
• a medical data network;
• a state controlling device for controlling an operating state of at least one of the first medical device and the second medical device for a combined therapy of a patient by the interaction of at least the first medical device and the second medical device in the medical data network, wherein the first medical device is configured to detect physiological measured values of a patient in an operating state of a combined therapy, further to generate an information signal based on the physiological measured values as well as to provide the information signal via the data network, and wherein the second medical device has an actuator for physiologically influencing the patient and the second medical device is further configured to select at least one operating parameter of the actuator as a function of the information signal of the first medical device, which is received via the data network, in the operating state of the combined therapy, wherein the state controlling device comprises:
• a data network interface;
• an input unit for inputs of a user;
• an optical display unit for outputting information to the user;
• and
• a control unit configured:
• to determine a current joint assignment of the first medical device and of the second medical device to a common group in the data network on the basis of data messages received via the data network interface;
• to display to the user the current joint assignment of the first and second medical devices to the group via the display unit in case of a positive result of the determination;
• and
• upon receipt of a confirmation signal from the input unit, to send a request message to the second medical device, which indicates a request to activate the operating state of the combined therapy in the second medical device such that the combined therapy is carried out via the first medical device and the second medical device.
