Patent ID: 11967421
Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  A  H | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A monitoring method for generating maintenance alerts, the monitoring method comprising:
by an electronic processor, extracting component identifications (component IDs) identifying medical imaging device components in electronic medical imaging device manuals;
by the electronic processor, extracting operating parameters of the identified medical imaging device components and associated operating parameter ranges from the electronic medical imaging device manuals based on numeric values, parameter terms identifying operating parameters, and linking terms or symbols indicative of equality or inequality that connect the numeric values and parameter terms;
by the electronic processor, formulating the operating parameter ranges into decision rules for classifying medical imaging device log data based on whether a value of the associated operating parameter is outside of the operating parameter range, wherein the maintenance alerts are formulated as recommendations to check the value of the operating parameter associated with the operating parameter range of the decision rule that produced the maintenance alert; and
by the electronic processor, applying the decision rules to log data generated by a monitored medical imaging device to detect out-of-range log data generated by the monitored medical imaging device; and
displaying maintenance alerts on a display in response to the detected out-of-range log data wherein the maintenance alerts are generated from out-of-range log data and are associated with component IDs contained in the out-of-range log data.
