Electric bending endoscope device operating during power failures

摘要

The electric bending endoscope device according to the present invention comprises: an endoscope having a bending portion; a bending control mechanism for electrically driving the bending portion of the endoscope; a power source voltage monitoring portion for monitoring the source voltage supplied to this bending control mechanism; and a change-over switch for releasing the bent state of the bending portion, when the above-mentioned bending portion is in a bent state, on the basis of an output signal from the source voltage monitoring portion.
