Medical device adaptive control for hostile environment

A medical device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the medical device to:
• monitor, using one or more sensors, an environmental condition of a physical environment proximate to the medical device;
• determine a value representative of the environmental condition exceeds a threshold for safe operation of the medical device with regard to care of a patient;
• and
• automatically switch, responsive to the value exceeding the threshold, an operation mode of the medical device from a first mode currently programmed for the care of the patient to a second mode, the second mode using different parameters than the first mode to control the medical device.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• monitoring, using one or more sensors, an environmental condition of a physical environment proximate to a medical device;
• determining a value representative of the environmental condition exceeds a threshold for safe operation of the medical device with regard to care of a patient;
• and
• automatically switching, responsive to the value exceeding the threshold, an operation mode of the medical device from a first mode currently programmed for the care of the patient to a second mode, the second mode using different parameters than the first mode to control the medical device.
