An operating unit () sets ventilation parameters of a control unit () of a ventilator () that includes a gas dispensing device () for ventilation gases. The operating unit includes a display unit and an ventilation parameters input element (). Two or more of the parameters are linked via a relation condition stored in a relation storage module (). A relation monitor () includes a deviation detector () detecting a transgression of the relation condition during parameter setting, and outputs warning information via a warning unit (). This avoids a need for an operator to note the sometimes complicated connections and dependencies expressed in the relations during the parameter setting. The warning may be sent before the new setting value is sent from the operating unit to the control unit. Operating safety is increased and a risk of setting errors is minimized.

A system includes a medical device, a patient sensor, an output unit and a signal processing unit that receives measured values from patient sensors and generates signals by analyzing received measured values. The signal processing unit decides whether an alarm criterion, relating to the generated signal, is met and detects an alarm and an alarm time and actuates the output unit. The actuated output unit displays an overall alarm sequence () in an overall time period (T) and an alarm reference sequence in a reference section () time window (T) temporally positioned relative to the overall alarm sequence. At least one of a signal curve display () and an alarm reference sequence () are displayed as a portion of the overall time period. Time scales for the signal curve display and the alarm reference sequence are finer than time scales for the overall alarm sequence and the alarm reference section.
