PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that there is a possibility that a mechanical switch may be turned off by moving-round of an implanted body and that, once the switch is turned off after being implanted in a body, it is difficult to turn it on again.SOLUTION: The fluid transport device used with it implanted in a body includes: a fluid transport mechanism for discharging fluid from a reservoir for storing the fluid to the outside a transmission/reception part for wirelessly transmitting/receiving information relating to a control of the fluid transport mechanism with an external device a power supply part that supplies at least any of the fluid transport mechanism and the transmission/reception part with electrical power and the mechanical switch that can change a supply passage of the electrical power only from a cut-off state to a conduction state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】被埋込体が動き回ることによってメカニカルスイッチがオフに切り替わるおそれがある。体内に埋め込まれた後にスイッチがオフに切り替わってしまえば、再びオンに切り替えるのは困難である。【解決手段】体内に埋め込まれて用いられる流体輸送装置であって、流体を収容するリザーバーから流体を外部へ吐出させるための流体輸送機構と、流体輸送機構の制御に関する情報を外部装置と無線により送受信する送受信部と、流体輸送機構および送受信部の少なくともいずれかに電力を供給する電源部と、電力の供給路を遮断状態から導通状態へのみ変更し得るメカニカルスイッチとを備える。【選択図】図2
