1. A supporting apparatus for medical device, comprising:
- a stand unit;
a supporting section which is connected to the stand unit, comprises an arm mechanism including a plurality of joint parts, and movably and tiltably supports a medical device supported by the arm mechanism;
a brake section which can switch a fixed state of fixing at least one of the joint parts of the supporting section and a fixing release state of releasing the fixing of the at least one of the joint parts;
a detector which is provided on the supporting section and detects attachment/detachment of the medical device; and

Abstract
A supporting apparatus for medical device comprises a balance mechanism which movably and tiltably maintains a flexible endoscope and balances a weight of the flexible endoscope and a link mechanism section. Further, the supporting section of the flexible endoscope comprises a transparent photo interrupter which detects attachment/detachment of the flexible endoscope, and the supporting apparatus for medical device is provided with a controller which outputs a control signal to switch lock sections to a fixed state, based on a detection signal from the photo interrupter, when the flexible endoscope is detected to be detached from the supporting section by the photo interrupter.
