Proposed concepts aim to provide schemes, solutions, concepts, designs, methods and systems pertaining to monitoring medical devices. In particular, usage data of the medical device and other (related) medical devices is gathered. This data is used to learn normal operation values of the medical device. Accordingly, any deviations of the operation of the medical device from the normal operation values and a standard operation policy may be determined. The deviation is then used to generate an operation issue signal (i.e. a user alert, a correction action, etc.). In this way, operation issues may be automatically detected and potentially corrected at an early stage.
