Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, it is assumed that the electric knife 3 is currently selected as themedical device 2 to be operated by the foot switch 7 (the footswitch connection flag 23 is “1”) and the in-treatment flag 24 is “0”, that is, not in treatment. .

この状態で、術者は、集中操作パネル13の手術開始ボタン13aを押す(タッチ)することで、電気メス3を用いた処置の開始をコントローラ10に指示し、この指示を受けたコントローラ10は、図4のように、フットスイッチ設定テーブル20の、現在選択されている電気メス3の処置中フラグ24を“1”(処置中)に設定する。なお、この処置中フラグ24の設定および解除のための手術開始ボタン13aの押下および手術終了ボタン13bの押下の有無は、割り込み処理にてコントローラ10が随時、検出する。  In this state, the operator presses (touches) theoperation start button 13a of thecentral operation panel 13 to instruct thecontroller 10 to start the treatment using the electric knife 3, and thecontroller 10 that has received this instruction As shown in FIG. 4, the in-treatment flag 24 of the currently selected electric knife 3 in the foot switch setting table 20 is set to “1” (in-treatment). Note that thecontroller 10 detects whether or not theoperation start button 13a and theoperation end button 13b have been pressed for setting and canceling the in-treatment flag 24 at any time in interrupt processing.

図5のフローチャートに例示されるように、コントローラ10は、まず、フットスイッチ7の当該コントローラ10に対する接続の有無を確認し(ステップ101)、フットスイッチ7が接続されている場合には、フットスイッチ設定テーブル20の設定状態に基づいて、フットスイッチ7の操作対象の医療機器2を決定する(ステップ102)。ステップ101の判定でフットスイッチ7がコントローラ10に接続されていない場合には終了する。  As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 5, thecontroller 10 first checks whether or not thefoot switch 7 is connected to the controller 10 (step 101). If thefoot switch 7 is connected, thefoot switch 7 is checked. Based on the setting state of the setting table 20, themedical device 2 to be operated by thefoot switch 7 is determined (step 102). If it is determined instep 101 that thefoot switch 7 is not connected to thecontroller 10, the process ends.

そして、コントローラ10は、術者によるフットスイッチ7の操作を検出すると、まず、ON/OFF操作ボタン7aの操作か判定し(ステップ103)、ON/OFF操作ボタン7aの操作の場合には、フットスイッチ設定テーブル20のフットスイッチ接続フラグ23に設定されている操作対象の医療機器2(この場合、電気メス3)に対してエネルギー出力のON/OFFの制御信号を出力する。(ステップ109)。  When thecontroller 10 detects the operation of thefoot switch 7 by the surgeon, it first determines whether the ON /OFF operation button 7a is operated (step 103). An ON / OFF control signal for energy output is output to themedical device 2 to be operated set in the footswitch connection flag 23 of the switch setting table 20 (in this case, the electric knife 3). (Step 109).

ステップ103で、ON/OFF操作ボタン7aの操作でない場合には、さらに機能選択ボタン7bの操作か判別し(ステップ102)、機能選択ボタン7bの操作でない場合は、ステップ103のフットスイッチ7の操作監視に戻る。すなわち、ON/OFF操作ボタン7a、機能選択ボタン7b以外の登録ボタン7cの押下は、この段階では無視される。  If it is not the operation of the ON /OFF operation button 7a instep 103, it is further determined whether or not thefunction selection button 7b is operated (step 102). If the operation is not thefunction selection button 7b, the operation of thefoot switch 7 instep 103 is performed. Return to monitoring. That is, pressing of theregistration button 7c other than the ON /OFF operation button 7a and thefunction selection button 7b is ignored at this stage.

上述のステップ104で機能選択ボタン7bの操作と判定された場合には、フットスイッチ7と医療機器2の接続関係の切り替えが可能か否かをフットスイッチ設定テーブル20の処置中フラグ24を参照して判別する(ステップ105)。この場合、上述のように、処置中フラグ24は“1”(ON)に設定されており、処置中であるため、ステップ106〜ステップ108の実行は抑止され、すなわち、機能選択ボタン7bの操作は無視され、ステップ103に戻る。  When it is determined instep 104 that thefunction selection button 7b is operated, the in-treatment flag 24 of the foot switch setting table 20 is referred to as to whether or not the connection relationship between thefoot switch 7 and themedical device 2 can be switched. (Step 105). In this case, as described above, the in-treatment flag 24 is set to “1” (ON), and since the treatment is in progress, execution ofStep 106 to Step 108 is suppressed, that is, the operation of thefunction selection button 7b. Is ignored and the process returns to step 103.

一方、術者が、任意の契機で集中操作パネル13の手術終了ボタン13bを操作して処置中フラグ24が“0”(OFF)になると、上述の、ステップ104、ステップ105における機能選択ボタン7bの操作は有効となり、コントローラ10は、たとえば、術者に、コントローラ10に接続されて現在利用可能な医療機器2の一覧を集中表示パネル11に表示し、機能選択ボタン7bを適宜操作することで、その中の一つを選択させ(ステップ106)、さらに、登録ボタン7cの押下の有無にて選択内容を確定させ(ステップ107)、コントローラ10は、選択された医療機器2に対応するフットスイッチ設定テーブル20のフットスイッチ接続フラグ23を“1”に設定する(ステップ108)。  On the other hand, when the surgeon operates thesurgery end button 13b of thecentralized operation panel 13 at an arbitrary timing and the in-treatment flag 24 is set to “0” (OFF), thefunction selection button 7b in the above-describedstep 104 and step 105 is performed. For example, thecontroller 10 displays a list ofmedical devices 2 connected to thecontroller 10 and currently available on the central display panel 11 and appropriately operates thefunction selection buttons 7b. Then, one of them is selected (step 106), and further, the selection content is determined by whether or not theregistration button 7c is pressed (step 107), and thecontroller 10 selects the foot switch corresponding to the selectedmedical device 2. The footswitch connection flag 23 of the setting table 20 is set to “1” (step 108).

このように、本実施の形態の場合は、任意の医療機器2が選択されて、当該医療機器2を使用する処置中(処置中フラグ24が“1”の状態)の場合には、機能選択ボタン7b、登録ボタン7cによるフットスイッチ7の操作対象となる医療機器2の選択操作が抑止されるので、特定の医療機器2を使用する処置中に、フットスイッチ7の操作対象が他の医療機器2に誤って切り替えられる誤操作が確実に防止される。  Thus, in the case of the present embodiment, when an arbitrarymedical device 2 is selected and themedical device 2 is being used (when the in-treatment flag 24 is “1”), the function is selected. Since the selection operation of themedical device 2 that is the operation target of thefoot switch 7 by thebutton 7b and theregistration button 7c is suppressed, the operation target of thefoot switch 7 is another medical device during the treatment using the specificmedical device 2. An erroneous operation that is erroneously switched to 2 is reliably prevented.

すなわち、手術開始ボタン13aを押下し、処置を開始したら、手術終了ボタン13bを押下し処置を終了するまでの間、フットスイッチ7による医療機器2の選択が禁止されるため、フットスイッチ7の誤操作(踏み間違い)等により設定が変わることによる意図しない医療機器2のエネルギー出力動作を防止でき、操作性および操作の確実性が向上する。  That is, when theoperation start button 13a is pressed and the treatment is started, the selection of themedical device 2 by thefoot switch 7 is prohibited until theoperation end button 13b is pressed and the treatment is ended. An unintended energy output operation of themedical device 2 due to a setting change due to (stepping mistake) or the like can be prevented, and operability and operational reliability are improved.

これにより、コントローラ10に複数の医療機器2を接続し、共通のフットスイッチ7にて集中制御する構成の医療システム1において、フットスイッチ7の操作性およびフットスイッチ7の操作対象となる医療機器2の選択および登録操作の確実性が向上する。  As a result, in the medical system 1 configured to connect a plurality ofmedical devices 2 to thecontroller 10 and perform centralized control with thecommon foot switch 7, the operability of thefoot switch 7 and themedical device 2 that is the operation target of thefoot switch 7. The certainty of selection and registration operations is improved.

(実施の形態2)
図6は、本発明の他の実施の形態である医療用システムの構成および作用の一例を示す概念図であり、図7は、その作用の一例を示すフローチャート、図8および図9は、本実施の形態の医療用システムにて用いられる画面例を説明する説明図である。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the configuration and operation of a medical system according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation, and FIGS. It is explanatory drawing explaining the example of a screen used with the medical system of embodiment.

この実施の形態2では、コントローラ10に対する複数の医療機器2の接続構成に変化が発生した場合に、任意の医療機器2に対するフットスイッチ70の接続設定を必ず実行する場合について説明する。  In the second embodiment, a case will be described in which the connection setting of thefoot switch 70 to anymedical device 2 is always executed when a change occurs in the connection configuration of the plurality ofmedical devices 2 to thecontroller 10.

なお、この実施の形態2では、フットスイッチ70には、左ボタン71および右ボタン72の二つの操作ボタンが設けられた場合が例示されている。
図6のように、たとえば、超音波破石装置16、超音波手術器4、録画装置15がコントローラ10に接続されており、術者のフットスイッチ70の操作にて、これらの医療機器2が集中制御される構成状態において、超音波破石装置16の代わりに電気メス3をコントローラ10に接続する操作が行われたとすると、本実施の形態のコントローラ10は、図7のようなフローチャートの処理にて、フットスイッチ7の操作対象となる医療機器2の設定操作を必ず実行させる。
In the second embodiment, thefoot switch 70 is illustrated as having two operation buttons, aleft button 71 and aright button 72.
As shown in FIG. 6, for example, theultrasonic lithotripter 16, the ultrasonic surgical device 4, and therecording device 15 are connected to thecontroller 10, and thesemedical devices 2 are operated by the operator's operation of thefoot switch 70. Assuming that an operation of connecting the electric knife 3 to thecontroller 10 is performed instead of theultrasonic lithotripsy device 16 in the centrally controlled configuration state, thecontroller 10 of the present embodiment performs the processing of the flowchart as shown in FIG. Thus, the setting operation of themedical device 2 to be operated by thefoot switch 7 is always executed.

たとえば、超音波破石装置16を電気メス3に変更した場合、コントローラ10の設定を更新するために集中操作パネル13に設定登録画面を表示するが、その設定登録項目の最後に、必ずフットスイッチ設定登録を行う。超音波破石装置16を電気メス3に変更した場合、設定登録項目の最後で必ずフットスイッチ設定登録を行うので、変更前の超音波破石装置16のフットスイッチ設定のまま電気メス3が操作されることが無くなる。  For example, when theultrasonic lithotripsy device 16 is changed to the electric knife 3, a setting registration screen is displayed on thecentralized operation panel 13 in order to update the setting of thecontroller 10, but a foot switch must be displayed at the end of the setting registration item. Register settings. When theultrasonic lithotripter 16 is changed to the electric knife 3, since the foot switch setting is registered at the end of the setting registration item, the electric knife 3 is operated with the footswitch setting of theultrasonic lithotripter 16 before the change. Will not be done.

すなわち、医療機器2のコントローラ10に対する接続状態に変化があったか監視し(ステップ111)、変更があった場合には、たとえば、集中操作パネル13に設定登録画面40(図6)のような操作画面を術者に提示して構成変更の設定操作をすべての接続機器(医療機器2)について行わせる(ステップ112、ステップ113)。  That is, it is monitored whether there is a change in the connection state of themedical device 2 to the controller 10 (step 111). If there is a change, an operation screen such as a setting registration screen 40 (FIG. 6) is displayed on thecentral operation panel 13, for example. Is presented to the surgeon, and a configuration change setting operation is performed on all connected devices (medical devices 2) (steps 112 and 113).

そして、本実施の形態の場合には、この医療機器2の設定操作に連動して、フットスイッチ7の操作対象として、設定変更後のどの医療機器2を設定するかを、設定登録画面40を提示して、術者に選択させる(ステップ114)。たとえば、図8は、この設定登録画面40におけるフットスイッチ設定登録メニュー42の画面の詳細例としての、フットスイッチ接続設定画面42aを示しており、選択機器入力/表示領域42bに、選択対象の医療機器2の名称等を入力させる構成となっている。  In the case of the present embodiment, the settingregistration screen 40 is used to indicate whichmedical device 2 after the setting change is set as the operation target of thefoot switch 7 in conjunction with the setting operation of themedical device 2. Present and let the operator select (step 114). For example, FIG. 8 shows a foot switchconnection setting screen 42a as a detailed example of the screen of the foot switch settingregistration menu 42 in the settingregistration screen 40. In the selected device input /display area 42b, the medical device to be selected is displayed. The name of thedevice 2 is input.

そして、このフットスイッチ接続設定画面42aにて、特定の一つの医療機器2が選択されると、(ステップ115)、術者による可否入力を判別し(ステップ116)、選択結果が術者に承認された場合には、選択結果が、図9に例示されるフットスイッチ設定登録完了画面42cとして術者に提示される(ステップ117)。  When one specificmedical device 2 is selected on the foot switchconnection setting screen 42a (step 115), whether or not the operator is allowed to input is determined (step 116), and the selection result is approved by the operator. If so, the selection result is presented to the surgeon as a foot switch settingregistration completion screen 42c illustrated in FIG. 9 (step 117).

すなわち、設定登録画面40では、登録の必要な医療機器2のすべてに関する医療機器設定登録メニユー41と、フットスイッチ設定登録メニュー42と、設定終了表示43を提示し、フットスイッチ設定登録メニュー42が未完の場合には、医療機器設定登録メニユー41の操作が終了できないようになっており、医療機器2の構成変更が生じた場合には、必ず、連動して、フットスイッチ設定登録メニュー42の実行が行われ、フットスイッチ7と特定の医療機器2との接続関係(フットスイッチ接続フラグ23)が設定される。  That is, the settingregistration screen 40 presents a medical device settingregistration menu 41, a foot switch settingregistration menu 42, and a settingend display 43 regarding all of themedical devices 2 that need to be registered, and the foot switch settingregistration menu 42 is incomplete. In this case, the operation of the medical device settingregistration menu 41 cannot be completed. When the configuration of themedical device 2 is changed, the foot switch settingregistration menu 42 is always executed in conjunction. The connection relationship (foot switch connection flag 23) between thefoot switch 7 and the specificmedical device 2 is set.

また、集中表示パネル11の一部には、現在、フットスイッチ70の操作対象として設定されている医療機器2の名称(たとえば、電気メス等)が表示される接続中医療機器名表示エリア11aが設けられており、術者は、この接続中医療機器名表示エリア11aを参照することで、その時点でフットスイッチ70の操作対象となっている医療機器2を確認することが可能になっている。  In addition, a part of the central display panel 11 includes a connected medical devicename display area 11a in which the name of themedical device 2 currently set as an operation target of the foot switch 70 (for example, an electric knife) is displayed. The surgeon can refer to the connected medical devicename display area 11a to check themedical device 2 that is the operation target of thefoot switch 70 at that time. .

このように、本実施の形態2の場合には、コントローラ10に対する複数の医療機器2の接続構成に変化があった場合には、連動して、必ず、フットスイッチ7と医療機器2との接続関係の設定操作が実行されるので、構成変更により、コントローラ10に接続される医療機器2として、たとえば、超音波破石装置16を電気メス3に変更しても、必ず正しいフットスイッチ7の接続設定が行われるため、誤操作を防ぐことができ、操作性および操作の確実性が向上する。  As described above, in the case of the second embodiment, when there is a change in the connection configuration of the plurality ofmedical devices 2 to thecontroller 10, the connection between thefoot switch 7 and themedical device 2 is always performed in conjunction. Since the setting operation of the relationship is executed, even if theultrasonic device 16 is changed to the electric knife 3 as themedical device 2 connected to thecontroller 10 by the configuration change, for example, thecorrect foot switch 7 is always connected. Since the setting is performed, an erroneous operation can be prevented, and the operability and the certainty of the operation are improved.

(実施の形態3)
図10は、本発明のさらに他の実施の形態である医療システムの構成の一例を示す概念図である。この実施の形態3では、コントローラ10には、シリアル通信線8を介してハンドピース等の手術器具3aを備えた電気メス3およびハンドピース等の手術器具4aを備えた超音波手術器4が、医療機器2として、接続されている。
(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the configuration of a medical system according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, thecontroller 10 includes an ultrasonic surgical instrument 4 including an electric scalpel 3 including a surgical instrument 3a such as a handpiece and asurgical instrument 4a such as a handpiece via aserial communication line 8. Themedical device 2 is connected.

コントローラ10に接続されるフットスイッチ70は、左ボタン71および右ボタン72を備えている。
本実施の形態の場合、左ボタン71および右ボタン72は、電気メス3または超音波手術器4における高周波エネルギーや超音波エネルギーの被術体90に対する出力のON/OFF制御に用いられるとともに、左ボタン71および右ボタン72を同時に押すことにより、電気メス3または超音波手術器4のいずれにフットスイッチ70を接続するかを選択させることが可能になっている。
Thefoot switch 70 connected to thecontroller 10 includes aleft button 71 and aright button 72.
In the case of the present embodiment, theleft button 71 and theright button 72 are used for ON / OFF control of the output of high-frequency energy or ultrasonic energy to the subject 90 in the electric knife 3 or the ultrasonic surgical instrument 4, and the left By simultaneously pressing thebutton 71 and theright button 72, it is possible to select whether to connect thefoot switch 70 to either the electric knife 3 or the ultrasonic surgical instrument 4.

また、フットスイッチ70が電気メス3または超音波手術器4のいずれかに接続されている場合、これらの各々の医療機器2における異なる処置のON/OFFに左ボタン71および右ボタン72を割り当てることも可能となっている。  Further, when thefoot switch 70 is connected to either the electric scalpel 3 or the ultrasonic surgical instrument 4, theleft button 71 and theright button 72 are assigned to ON / OFF of different treatments in the respectivemedical devices 2. Is also possible.

すなわち、図4に例示されるように、コントローラ10のフットスイッチ設定テーブル20には、同一の医療機器2の操作において、左ボタン71および右ボタン72の各々に個別に機能を割り当てるための左ボタン機能25および右ボタン機能26が設けられている。  That is, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the foot switch setting table 20 of thecontroller 10 includes a left button for individually assigning a function to each of theleft button 71 and theright button 72 in the operation of the samemedical device 2. Afunction 25 and aright button function 26 are provided.

たとえば、図4の例では、超音波手術器4がフットスイッチ70の操作対象として設定されている場合、左ボタン71は、超音波出力が70%となるON/OFF操作に割り当てられ、右ボタン72は、超音波出力が100%となるON/OFF操作に割り当てられている。  For example, in the example of FIG. 4, when the ultrasonic surgical instrument 4 is set as an operation target of thefoot switch 70, theleft button 71 is assigned to an ON / OFF operation with an ultrasonic output of 70%, and theright button 72 is assigned to an ON / OFF operation in which the ultrasonic output becomes 100%.

また、電気メス3がフットスイッチ70の操作対象として設定されている場合、左ボタン71は“切開”処置のON/OFFに、右ボタン72は、“凝固”処置のON/OFFに割り当てられている。  When the electric knife 3 is set as an operation target of thefoot switch 70, theleft button 71 is assigned to ON / OFF of the “incision” treatment, and theright button 72 is assigned to ON / OFF of the “coagulation” treatment. Yes.

また、気腹器5がフットスイッチ70の操作対象として設定されている場合、左ボタン71は“増圧”処置のON/OFFに、右ボタン72は、“減圧”処置のON/OFFに割り当てられている。  Further, when theinsufflator 5 is set as an operation target of thefoot switch 70, theleft button 71 is assigned to ON / OFF of the “pressure increase” treatment, and theright button 72 is assigned to ON / OFF of the “pressure reduction” treatment. It has been.

また、テレビカメラ6がフットスイッチ70の操作対象として設定されている場合、左ボタン71は“ズーム拡大”処置のON/OFFに、右ボタン72は、“ズーム縮小”処置のON/OFFに割り当てられている。  When theTV camera 6 is set as an operation target of thefoot switch 70, theleft button 71 is assigned to ON / OFF of the “zoom enlargement” treatment, and theright button 72 is assigned to ON / OFF of the “zoom reduction” treatment. It has been.

このように、コントローラ10は、フットスイッチ設定テーブル20の左ボタン機能25および右ボタン機能26の設定を参照することで、特定の医療機器2のフットスイッチ70による制御において、術者による左ボタン71および右ボタン72の操作によって、どのような制御信号を操作対象の医療機器2に出力するかを制御する。  As described above, thecontroller 10 refers to the settings of theleft button function 25 and theright button function 26 of the foot switch setting table 20, so that theleft button 71 by the operator can be controlled by thefoot switch 70 of the specificmedical device 2. By controlling theright button 72, the control signal to be output to themedical device 2 to be operated is controlled.

以下、本実施の形態の作用の一例について、図11のフローチャート等を参照して説明する。コントローラ10は、術者によるフットスイッチ70の押下イベントを検出すると(ステップ121)、まず、左ボタン71および右ボタン72の同時押下か判別し(ステップ122)、同時押下の場合には、フットスイッチ70を、電気メス3または超音波手術器4のいずれの医療機器2に接続するかを術者に選択させ、選択結果は、フットスイッチ接続フラグ23としてフットスイッチ設定テーブル20に設定される(ステップ125)。  Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When thecontroller 10 detects a pressing event of thefoot switch 70 by the operator (step 121), thecontroller 10 first determines whether theleft button 71 and theright button 72 are simultaneously pressed (step 122). The operator selects whether to connect themedical instrument 2 to themedical instrument 2 of the electric scalpel 3 or the ultrasonic surgical instrument 4, and the selection result is set in the foot switch setting table 20 as the foot switch connection flag 23 (step) 125).

また、ステップ122で同時押下でないと判定された場合は、左ボタン71の押下か判定し(ステップ123)、左ボタン71の押下と判定された場合は、当該医療機器2の左ボタン機能25に設定された機能が実現されるように、コントローラ10は操作対象の医療機器2にON/OFFの制御信号を出力する(ステップ126)。  If it is determined instep 122 that the buttons are not simultaneously pressed, it is determined whether theleft button 71 is pressed (step 123). If it is determined that theleft button 71 is pressed, theleft button function 25 of themedical device 2 is determined. In order to realize the set function, thecontroller 10 outputs an ON / OFF control signal to themedical device 2 to be operated (step 126).

また、ステップ123で左ボタン71の押下でないと判定された場合は、反対側の右ボタン72の押下と判定して、フットスイッチ設定テーブル20の右ボタン機能26にて右ボタン72に割り当てられた機能が実現されるように、操作対象の医療機器2に対して所定のON/OFFの制御信号を出力する(ステップ124)。  If it is determined instep 123 that theleft button 71 is not pressed, it is determined that theright button 72 on the opposite side is pressed and assigned to theright button 72 by theright button function 26 of the foot switch setting table 20. In order to realize the function, a predetermined ON / OFF control signal is output to themedical device 2 to be operated (step 124).

このように、本実施の形態の場合には、フットスイッチ70に設けられた左ボタン71および右ボタン72の両方を同時に押下した時に、出力機器(操作対象の医療機器2)の選択が切り換わる構成となっているため、フットスイッチ70に、医療機器2の選択機能を実現するためのボタンを設ける必要がなく、機能選択のためのボタンを含む多数のボタンを術者に選択させることによる誤操作の発生確率が減少するとともに、操作性および操作の確実性が向上する。  Thus, in the case of the present embodiment, when both theleft button 71 and theright button 72 provided on thefoot switch 70 are simultaneously pressed, the selection of the output device (themedical device 2 to be operated) is switched. Since it is configured, it is not necessary to provide thefoot switch 70 with a button for realizing the selection function of themedical device 2, and an erroneous operation is caused by allowing the operator to select a number of buttons including a button for function selection. As a result, the operability and the certainty of the operation are improved.

また、フットスイッチ70におけるボタンの数が減少したので、部品コストの低減も実現できる。
なお、本発明は、上述の実施の形態に例示した構成に限らず、その趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変更可能であることは言うまでもない。
Further, since the number of buttons in thefoot switch 70 is reduced, it is possible to reduce the cost of parts.
Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the configuration exemplified in the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
