Abstract: A medical manipulator system has an operating unit including a grip handle and a composite input unit, a working unit detachably mounted on the operating unit and including an end effector, and a controller for controlling the operating unit. The controller judges starting and ending of a surgical case and increments the usage count of the working unit based on a manner in which the working unit is mounted and dismounted, and the times at which the working unit is mounted and dismounted, and disables the working unit if the usage count of the working unit exceeds a preset count.

Abstract: A manipulator comprises an actuator block and a working unit attachable to and detachable from the actuator block. The actuator block has a motor, the working unit has a connecting shaft and an end working portion disposed at the distal end thereof, and the end working portion is rotated in conjunction with the motor. The working unit further has a two-dimensional code holding an identification signal, and the actuator block further has an infrared camera for recognizing the identification signal in the code and supplying it to a controller, is the camera being not in contact with the code. The controller controls the working unit based on the supplied identification signal.
