Abstract

A medical device arrangement (100) tests processing of data sets to be processed during operation of the medical device arrangement. The arrangement includes a data interface (110), analysis modules (120) and a test module (130). The analysis modules process a received medical data set (105). Each analysis module (122, 123, 124) forms a processing instance (390) for the medical data set or for the medical data set (125, 125′) already preprocessed by at least one other analysis module. The test module outputs a test data set (132) to one of the analysis modules during operation such that this analysis module processes the test data set in the same manner as the medical data set. The test module compares a correspondingly outputted, processed test data set (134) with a reference result (136) associated with the test data set and determines a test result (137) based on this comparison.
