A method is provided for running a collision protection system for a medical operating device, which has a patient bed for a patient to be operated on, an image recording device having at least one movable image recording component for recording image data of the patient during the operation, and an assistance robot having a movable assistance component which during the operation is situated at least temporarily inside the patient and/or is coupled in terms of movement to an instrument situated inside the patient. In the method, an item of criticality information is determined which describes the criticality of possible collisions of components of the operating device and/or movements of the patient with regard to the interaction of the assistance robot with the patient. Depending upon the criticality information, when a criticality criterion indicating a raised criticality, (e.g., a criticality exceeding a threshold value), is met, a safe mode of operation of the collision protection system is activated, which meets higher safety requirements than a normal mode of operation.

An examination and/or treatment device includes a multi-axis robot having an articulated arm that can be moved in space as well as leads received in a flexible cladding tube and guided to one or more examination or treatment devices arranged on the articulated arm or a support arranged thereon. In an embodiment, on the articulated arm is provided a carriage arrangement including a carriage, having at least one deflection roller and that can be linearly displaced against at least one restoring element that builds up a restoring force. The cladding tube or a guide tube surrounding the cladding tube is guided around the deflection roller.

The present embodiments relate to a method for determining a unique spatial relation of a medical device to an object. The medical device includes a registration mechanism with a first determination of the spatial relation of the medical device to the object by the registration mechanism by a first method for determining a relation of this kind, and with a second determination of the spatial relation of the medical device to the object by the registration mechanism by a second method for determining a relation of this kind. The second method is based on a physical principle of action different from that of the first method, with an evaluation of the results of the first and second determinations with respect to conformance by the registration mechanism, and, on the determination of a prespecified degree of conformance between the results, with a final determination of the spatial relation from the results of the first and second determinations by the registration mechanism to increase the safety of the medical device during operation in spatial interaction with a object.
