Medical manipulator system

A medical manipulator system comprising:

• a manipulator that is provided with an elongated portion, a movable portion which has one or more joints and which is disposed at a distal end of the elongated portion, and a motor which is disposed at a proximal end of the elongated portion and which drives the movable portion;
• a medical device having a channel that can accommodate at least a portion of the elongated portion and the movable portion so as to be movable in a longitudinal direction;
• a manipulation input that generates an operation instruction for moving the manipulator in a longitudinal direction of the elongated portion between a treatment state in which the movable portion completely protrudes from a distal end of the channel and an accommodated state in which the movable portion is accommodated in the channel in accordance with a manipulation instruction input by an operator;
• a notifying portion affixed to a linear motion mechanism, the notifying portion comprising a stopper, the notifying portion being configured to provide a notification to an operator when the movable portion shifts from the treatment state to the accommodated state,
• wherein the manipulator further comprises a moving portion that is connected to the elongated portion to move the elongated portion and the movable portion in the longitudinal direction,
• wherein the manipulation input further comprises a slider that generates the operation instruction for moving the manipulator in the longitudinal direction, and
• wherein the stopper is configured to come into contact with the slider, the moving portion, the elongated portion or the medical device to stop the elongated portion and the movable portion from further moving toward a proximal end side of the elongated portion.
