Abstract

The present invention is directed to provide an endoscope system capable of preventing an actuation which an operator does not intend on the basis of a placement state of an endoscope. An endoscope system includes at least an endoscope 20 of the endoscope 20 and an accessory 44, a placement means on which the endoscope 20 is placed, a detecting means 72 configured to detect whether the endoscope 20 is placed on the placement means or not, an actuating means 58 for at least one of the endoscope 20 and the accessory 44, an operating means 62 for operating the actuating means 58, and a control means 60 configured to be switched between a normal mode wherein the actuating means 58 is controlled according to an operation to the operating means 62 and a restricting mode wherein the actuating means 58 is controlled regardless of an operation to the operating means 62, on the basis of a result of detection by the detecting means 72.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an endoscope system including an endoscope, at least one of the treatment instruments, and an installation unit for installing the endoscope. Background technique [0002] Various endoscope systems are in use for inserting an endoscope and a treatment instrument into a body cavity to perform observation and treatment in the body cavity. In such an endoscope system, a fixed endoscope holder for fixing the endoscope at a predetermined position or a movable endoscope holder for moving and fixing the endoscope to an arbitrary position may be used. [0003] A movable endoscope holder is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2005-204999. In the movable endoscope holder, a plurality of arms are sequentially connected through joints so as to be rotatable, and by releasing the fixation of the joints, the arms can rotate with each other, thereby enabling the endoscope to move to any position, and by fixing the ...
