Abstract

The invention comprises a patient information server device (10) which automatically accumulates together with time information:

• • biological information detected by a bedside monitoring device (1) of a patient or a biological-measuring device;
  • biological information and device information detected by a blood purification device (2, 3) which treats a blood sample taken from the patient; and
  • blood information detected by a circulating blood volume measuring device (4) that detects blood information about a circulating blood sample taken from the patient. A client device simultaneously and chronologically displays or records the patient information stored in the patient information server device (10). Through this arrangement, it is possible to obtain on a real time basis the biological information of a human body such as a patient'"'"'s body, and the device information, for example, of a blood treating device.
