Abstract
A medical manipulator system includes a manipulator including a working unit having a distal end at which an end effector for carrying out working is provided and an operating unit including an operating input unit for being operated for an input and a driving source for operating in response to contents of an operation of the operating input unit to drive the end effector, the working unit being removably attached to the operating unit. A controller to which the operating unit can be connected controls at least the driving source. A use history retaining unit is adapted to retain use history data for each working unit.
Claims14
A medical manipulator system comprising:
- a manipulator including an operating unit and a working unit removably attachable thereto, the working unit including, at a distal end thereof, an end effector that carries out motions for medical treatment, the operating unit including an input unit operable by an operator and a driving source that drives the end effector, the working unit further including an ID retaining unit configured to retain identification information unique to the working unit, and the operating unit further including an ID detection unit configured to detect the identification information retained by the ID retaining unit;
- a controller connectable to the operating unit and configured to control the driving source in response to an operation by the operator of the input unit;
- and
- a use history retaining unit configured to retain use history data of the working unit,
- wherein the controller is configured to refer to the use history data of the working unit attached to the operating unit and determine that the operation by the operator of the input unit is invalid if the use history data indicates that the working unit has been used more times than a preset number of times.

A medical manipulator system comprising:
- a manipulator including an operating unit and a working unit removably attachable thereto, the working unit including, at a distal end thereof, an end effector that carries out motions for medical treatment, the operating unit including a driving source that drives the end effector, the working unit further including an ID retaining unit configured to retain identification information unique to the working unit, and the operating unit further including an ID detection unit configured to detect the identification information retained by the ID retaining unit;
- a controller console that includes an input unit operable by an operator and configured to control the driving source in response to an operation by the operator of the input unit;
- and
- a use history retaining unit configured to retain use history data of the working unit;
- wherein the controller is configured to refer to the use history data of the working unit attached to the operating unit and determine that the operation by the operator of the input unit is invalid if the use history data indicates that the working unit has been used more times than a preset number of times.

A medical manipulator system comprising:
- a manipulator including operating means and working means removably attachable thereto, the working means including, at a distal end thereof, end effector means for carrying out motions for medical treatment, the operating means including input means, operable by an operator, for sending an instruction and driving means for driving the end effector means, the working means further including ID retaining means for retaining identification information unique to the working means, and the operating means further including ID detection means for detecting the identification information retained by the ID retaining means;
- controlling means, connectable to the operating means, for controlling the driving means in response to the instruction from the input means;
- and
- use history retaining means for retaining use history data of the working means;
- wherein the controller means refers to the use history data of the working means attached to the operating means and determines that the instruction from the input means is invalid if the use history data indicates that the working means has been used more times than a preset number of times.
