MODULAR VIDEO-ENDOSCOPIC SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B1/00 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medical equipment, namely to the means of medical testing of splanchnic cavity or tubular organs. Endoscope’s control module contains control means, at least one control channel connected with the control means and made to transmit control actions from the control means of the endoscope’s control unit to the insertion tube of the endoscope, and connecting means made with the opportunity of detached connection of the endoscope’s control unit insertion tube of the endoscope, allowing each control channel of the endoscope’s control unit to be connected to a corresponding control channel of the endoscope’s insertion tube, the connection of the control channels is provided by means of connecting means located on circle at the distal end of the endoscope’s control unit and corresponding response elements, located on the circle at the proximal end of the insertion tube of the endoscope. Insertion part of the endoscope consists of at least one control channel of the endoscope’s insertion tube, made with the possibility of transmission of control actions from the endoscope’s control unit to control the endoscope’s insertion tube, and the connection means of the endoscope’s insertion tube, made with the possibility of detached connection of the endoscope’s control unit with insertion tube of the endoscope, allowing each control channel of the endoscope’s control unit to be connected to a corresponding control channel of the endoscope’s insertion tube, the connection of the control channels is provided by means of connecting means of endoscope’s insertion tube located on circle at the proximal end, and the corresponding connecting means of the endoscope’s control unit, located on the circle at the distal end of the endoscope’s control unit. Modular video endoscopy system contains an endoscope’s control unit, an endoscope’s insertion tube and a video information module made with possibility to be connected to the endoscope’s control unit.

EFFECT: use of the invention allows to simplify the management of video-endoscopic system.
