ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to readily initiate an operation of a capsule medical apparatus which is inserted into a subject and executes a predetermined function. In a capsule endoscope3according to the present invention, a reed switch14connected to a power supply unit and a function executing unit is arranged parallel to a direction of a longitudinal axis t of a capsule-like casing16in the substantially cylindrical capsule-like casing16of the capsule endoscope3. A pair of movable electrodes of the reed switch14operates according to magnetic induction of a magnetic field of a magnet6applied substantially parallel to the direction t of the longitudinal axis of the capsule-like casing16, and come into contact with each other. As a result, power supply from the power supply unit to the function executing unit is allowed.
