Abstract
A medical device has a device component with an operating state controllable by predefining a predefined value for an operating parameter. A data network interface receives a data message from a central network computer. The data message indicates whether the central network computer is in a blocked state concerning potential user inputs into an input unit of the network computer. The medical device further has an input unit for the potential input of an input value and at least one control unit configured to predefine the predefined value as a function of the input value to the device component as well as to block the input unit for inputs of a user. The control unit is further configured to block the input unit for the input of the input value as a function of the indicated state of the central network computer.
