  • Patent number: 11701076
    Abstract: An operating device for a medical system for imaging and/or intervention is disclosed. In an embodiment, the operating device includes a housing; a grip region; a coupling unit; and a connecting unit. The connecting unit is configured to releasably connect to a holding structure for the operating device and, via the coupling unit, is coupled to the grip region such that a releasing of a releasable connection is caused by a gripping of the grip region with one hand of a person and an establishing of the releasable connection is caused by a letting go of the grip region. Further, the grip region is configured for carrying of the operating device by a gripping the grip region with one hand of the person.
