Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for operating technical medical apparatus, especially dialysis apparatus, with a display screen and a touch screen surface and with a means for displaying and/or altering characteristic treatment data. The invention simplifies handling of technical medical apparatus and reduces the probability of operating errors by providing a second means for displaying characteristic symbols for the components of the apparatus, thereby allowing manipulation of the characteristic treatment data by touching the symbols on the touch screen surface. The invention also entails a method of operating technical medical apparatus.
