Abstract

A biological information monitor which receives, directly or via an network, biological information of a patient which is measured by a unit attached to the patient, includes: a display portion on which the biological information is displayed; and a controlling portion which displays, on the display portion, at least one of a reason of temporary room leaving accompanied by stoppage of measurement of the biological information of the patient, a period for leaving a room, a scheduled time for restarting the measurement, and present progress information.

Claims

1. A biological information monitor which receives, directly or via an network, biological information of a patient which is measured by a unit attached to the patient, the biological information monitor comprising:

a display portion on which the biological information is displayed; and

a controlling portion which displays, on the display portion, at least one of a reason of temporary room leaving accompanied by stoppage of measurement of the biological information of the patient, a period for leaving a room, a scheduled time for restarting the measurement, and present progress information.

2. The biological information monitor according to claim 1, further comprising:

an inputting portion in which at least one of the reason, the period, and the scheduled time is input.

3. The biological information monitor according to claim 2, wherein

the inputting portion includes a plurality of items for the reason and a plurality of items for the period, and

the reason is selected from the items for the reason and the period is selected from the items for the period.

4. The biological information monitor according to claim 1, further comprising:

an alarm outputting portion which outputs an alarm including a visual or audible alarm, wherein

in a case where the measurement is stopped after the scheduled time for restarting the measurement, the alarm is output.

5. The biological information monitor according claim 1, wherein

the present progress information is graphically displayed while distinguishing a present time, an elapsed time, a remaining time period, and an overtime period from one another.

6. The biological information monitor according claim 1, wherein

the present progress information is displayed in a form of an analog clock while distinguishing a present time, an elapsed time, a remaining time period, and an overtime period from one another.

7. The biological information monitor according claim 1, wherein

the present progress information is displayed in a form of a bar graph display while distinguishing a present time, an elapsed time, a remaining time period, and an overtime period from one another.

8. The biological information monitor according to claim 1, further comprising:

an inputting portion in which an input comment is displayed together with at least one of the reason, the period, the scheduled time, and the present progress information.

9. The biological information monitor according to claim 1, being a monitor in which biological information of a plurality of patients is displayed on a common display portion and remotely monitored.
