A monitoring device (1) for a system for generating medical compressed air includes a measured air line (3) removing compressed air from a compressed air supply line downstream of a compressed air conditioning unit. A sensor (2) generates a measured signal as a function of a property of the compressed air fed through the measured air line. A humidifier (8) humidifies the compressed air upstream of the sensor. An output unit (12) outputs information about the property of the compressed air to a user on the basis of the measured signal. A tap (4) removes compressed air and an actuator (5) changes a volume flow and/or mass flow of the compressed air, which volume flow and/or mass flow prevails in the measured air line. The actuator is inserted into the tap in a measuring mode and is removed from the tap in a compressed air removal mode.
