Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for operating a control component for detecting control commands for securely controlling a medical device, wherein the control component is arranged separately from the medical device and communicates with the medical device via a secure communications connection, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:
detecting, by the control component, at least one control command via a user interface of the control component, wherein the control component is a tablet, smartphone or mobile terminal, and wherein the user interface comprises a graphical user interface (GUI) of the tablet, smartphone or mobile terminal;
generating, by the control component, a message including a request to activate at least one operating element, wherein the request to activate the at least one operating element comprises a request for simultaneous activation of a plurality of operating elements;
outputting, by the control component, the message;
checking, by the control component, whether activation of the at least one operating element in accordance with the request has been detected on the at least one operating element; and
in response to detecting activation of the at least one operating element in accordance with the request, preparing the at least one control command for execution on the medical device;
wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, further facilitate:
performing monitoring to determine whether activation of the at least one operating element has already been detected via the at least one operating element before outputting of the message; and
in response to determining that activation of the at least one operating element has already been detected via the at least one operating element before outputting of the message, outputting a warning.
