ACTIVATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. An activation device for activating a capsule medical device that has a first coil inside and is activated when voltage greater than or equal to a first specified value or current greater than or equal to a second specified value is generated in the first coil, the activation device comprising:
- a case;
a second coil that is provided in the case and is configured to generate a magnetic field when current flows through the second coil; and
a guide portion for guiding to a position that is located outside the case and that is a position of the capsule medical device where the capsule medical device can be activated based on the magnetic field generated by the second coil,wherein the capsule medical device is housed at a specified position in a specified posture in a container having a specified shape,the case has a placement surface on which the container is configured to be placed, andthe guide portion includes;
a detection unit configured to detect a position of the capsule medical device placed on the placement surface and to output a signal indicating the position; and
a guidance unit configured to guide the container to a specific position on the placement surface where the capsule medical device can be activated when the container is placed on the placement surface, based on the signal.

Abstract
An activation device activates a capsule medical device that has a first coil inside and is activated when voltage not less than a first specified value or current not less than a second specified value is generated in the first coil. The activation device includes: a case; a second coil that is provided in the case and is configured to generate a magnetic field when current flows through the second coil; and a guide portion for guiding to a position that is located outside the case and that is a position of the capsule medical device where the capsule medical device can be activated based on the magnetic field generated by the second coil. The capsule medical device is housed at a specified position in a specified posture in a container having a specified shape. The case has a placement surface on which the container is configured to be placed.

6. An activation device for activating a capsule medical device that has a first coil inside and is activated when voltage greater than or equal to a first specified value or current greater than or equal to a second specified value is generated in the first coil, the activation device comprising:
-
a case; a second coil that is provided in the case and is configured to generate a magnetic field when current flows through the second coil; and a guide portion for guiding to a position that is located outside the case and that is a position of the capsule medical device where the capsule medical device can be activated based on the magnetic field generated by the second coil, wherein the guide portion includes; a signal generator configured to generate a signal to apply a test current to the second coil; a magnetic field detection unit configured to detect a change in magnetic field outside the case; and a control unit configured to cause the current applied to the second coil to increase when the magnetic field detection unit detects the change in magnetic field greater than or equal to a specified value. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
