Patent ID: 7798958

Claim:
A medical device control system comprising: a medical device including an insertion member inserted into a subject's body and a magnetic field response portion that generates torque in response to a magnetic field applied from outside the subject's body; a direction detection unit that detects an insertion direction of the insertion member; a user interface through which information with respect to a control of the insertion direction is input and output; a magnetic field generation portion that acts on the magnetic field response portion to generate the magnetic field that directs the insertion member to a control direction; a user interface control unit that controls the user interface based on a discordance between the control direction and the insertion direction, wherein the user interface is provided with an operation unit through which an operator commands the insertion direction; the operation unit is provided with a discordance information transmission portion controlled by the user interface control unit for transmitting the discordance to the operator and with a movable body through which the control direction is input; and the discordance information transmission portion comprises a load generating portion that generates a load to a movement of the movable body.
