Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple parameters are adjusted for optimal device operation, then device performance is improved, but the complexity of configuration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying multiple device parameters simultaneously according to predefined sets. Instead of adjusting parameters individually, the system changes multiple parameters together in coordinated sets, allowing optimization of device performance while managing complexity through structured parameter combinations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining multiple parameter sets with optimal configurations before actual device operation. These parameter sets are prepared in advance based on theoretical optimization or preliminary testing, allowing the device to be quickly configured without time-consuming manual adjustment during normal operation.
2Measurement precision
If parameter optimization is performed manually, then precise control is achieved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the device to automatically select and apply appropriate parameter sets based on the specific application or patient type. The system autonomously determines which predefined parameter set to use without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining precise parameter control while eliminating time-consuming manual optimization processes.
Solution Approach 2:
By pre-defining multiple parameter sets with optimized configurations for different应用场景, the system eliminates the need for time-consuming manual parameter adjustment during operation. The preliminary preparation of parameter sets allows for rapid deployment while maintaining precise control, as each set has been pre-optimized for specific conditions.
3Productivity
If parameter sets are selected from predefined values, then configuration time is reduced, but adaptability to specific cases decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the parameter space into multiple distinct predefined sets, each optimized for specific应用场景 or patient types. Instead of using a single general parameter set, the system segments parameters into specialized groups that can be selectively applied, maintaining both quick configuration through predefined sets and adaptability through having multiple specialized options available.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method for configuring a medical device. The method comprises: providing a set of one or more parameters for configuring the medical device. Each parameter of the set has predefined values. A set of values of the set of parameters may be selected from the predefined values. Using the selected values the set of parameters may be set, which results in an operational configuration of the medical device. The medical device may be controlled to operate in accordance with the operational configuration, thereby an operating status of the medical device may be determined. Based on at least the operating status the operational configuration may be maintained or the selecting, setting and controlling may be repeatedly performed until a desired operating status of the medical device can be determined based on the operating statuses resulting from the controlling.
