Abstract:
A controller which controls an operation of a self-propelled mechanism of an endoscope includes an inspection control section, a usual control section, an endoscope connection detection circuit and a control switch section. The endoscope connection detection circuit detects that the endoscope has been connected. The control switch section determines whether or not the inspection operation is performed for the endoscope at the time of the connection of the endoscope, causes the usual control section to perform the usual operation when the inspection operation is performed, and causes the inspection control section to perform the inspection operation and then causes the usual control section to perform the usual operation when the inspection operation is not performed.

Claim (Index 2):
The controller according to  claim 1 , further comprising a memory that records the identification information, wherein\n the at least one circuit is further configured to read, from the endoscope, identification information that individually identifies the endoscope recorded in the endoscope, cause the memory to record the identification information of the endoscope that is connected during the performance of the inspection operation when the inspection operation has been performed, and compare the identification information recorded in the memory and the identification information of the connected endoscope, and determine whether or not the inspection operation has been performed for the endoscope when the endoscope has been connected.
