Abstract:
A medical manipulator system including: a medical manipulator having a joint; an operating section having an operating system; and a control unit controlling the medical manipulator according to an operation applied to the operating section. The operating section includes a switch enters or releases a command. The control unit determines whether a deviation between the joint and the operating system exceeds a threshold while the command is entered, carries out a first motion for moving the joint by a displacement corresponding to the displacement of the operating system if the deviation is equal to or smaller than the threshold, carries out a second motion for approaching the joint to the operating system angle if the deviation exceeds the threshold, and stops the motion for approaching the joint to the operating system angle when the command is released when the deviation exceeds the threshold.

Abstract:
The medical instrument a wire, a flexible sheath through which the wire is inserted, a wire driving unit for driving the wire, a passive unit that is put into operation as the wire is driven, a sheath pulling unit for pulling the sheath, a sheath lock unit for locking movement of the sheath, and a control unit for switching among a run-up mode in which the passive unit and the wire driving unit are still disconnected, a sheath free mode in which the sheath is not locked and so set free, a sheath slack adjustment mode in which a slack in the sheath is adjusted to lock the sheath in place and a master/slave mode in which the passive unit connected to the wire driving unit is put into a drivable state.
Abstract:
A manipulator, including: a drive unit for generating a driving force, and a treatment tool that is driven by the drive unit and attachable to and detachable from the drive unit, wherein the treatment tool includes: a distal end having at least one joint driven by the drive unit, a lock unit that is actuated to lock at least one of joints at the distal end, a lock-operating unit for operating the lock unit, and a control unit that is operated such that the lock unit is operated by the lock-operating unit and such that when the drive unit is driven, the drive unit is deactivated, and even with the treatment tool detached from the drive unit, the lock unit keeps on with locking.
Abstract:
A manipulator system including a manipulator that includes an insertion part having a main section and a bending section, a bending-section driving portion, and a linear member inserted through a sheath fixed to the main section at one end thereof, the linear member connecting the bending section and the bending-section driving portion through the main section and transmitting a driving force generated by the bending-section driving portion to the bending section; an operation input unit via which an operation instruction to the bending section is input; a sheath-tension detecting portion that detects the tension in the sheath; a compensation-value setting portion that sets a compensation value for a bending control signal on the basis of the tension in the sheath, and a control unit that generates the bending control signal and sends the bending control signal corrected with the compensation value to the bending-section driving portion.
Abstract:
An endoscope reprocessor includes: a holding member to/from which a filtering tool is attachable and detachable; a fluid introduction conduit and a fluid discharge conduit that communicate with the filtering tool in a state in which the filtering tool is attached to the holding member; a moving member configured to, when the filtering tool is attached to the holding member and a weight of the filtering tool is less than a predetermined value, position the filtering tool in a first position and, when the filtering tool is attached to the holding member and the weight of the filtering tool is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, position the filtering tool in a second position that is different from the first position; and a hindering unit configured to, when the filtering tool is positioned in the second position, hinder removal of the filtering tool from the holding member.
Abstract:
A medical-information providing system includes an electronic medical record system configured to accumulate medical-record information about patients; a medical device system configured to accumulate operation logs of medical devices; and a computer configured to provide medical-activity-related information from the medical-record information and the operation logs. The computer includes at least one processor configured to: acquire the medical-record information from the electronic medical record system; calculate a first parameter of a first medical activity corresponding to the acquired medical-record information on the basis of the acquired medical-record information; acquire the operation logs from the medical device system; calculate a second parameter of the medical devices used in the first medical activity on the basis of the acquired operation logs; identify a second medical activity involving parameters similar to the calculated first and second parameters; and generate the medical-activity-related information on the basis of the identified second medical activity.
Abstract:
A manipulator system includes: a manipulator including an elongated flexible section, a movable section provided at a distal end of the flexible section, and a driver that is provided at a proximal end of the flexible section and that drives the movable section; an insertion section having a channel into which the manipulator is inserted; an advancing/retreating section that advances/retreats the manipulator and that causes the movable section of the manipulator to protrude from, and to be withdrawn into, a distal end of the channel; a protrusion-state acknowledgement section that acknowledges a protrusion state in which an entirety of the movable section protrudes from the distal end of the channel; and a restricting section that, when the protrusion state is acknowledged with the protrusion-state acknowledgement section, restricts further retreating motion of the driver performed by the advancing/retreating section.
