Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable quick collection of measurement data by wirelessly transmitting measurement data of a medical measuring apparatus capable of measuring items of a human body to achieve a saving of labor in measuring work. SOLUTION: When set time is reached, a data processor 14 outputs a measuring command for detecting temperature and a measuring command is transmitted to each of measuring devices 12 from a transmitter/receiver 32 to match communication frequency based on the command. When the measuring devices 12 receive the respective measuring commands sequentially through the transmitter/receiver 16, an annunciator 22 of a clinical thermometer 15 of each measuring device 12 annunciates the starting of detecting body heat. A patient of each bed sets a set/reset switch 23 of the clinical thermometer 15 and pinches a body heat sensor 20 at a set part of a human body to start the checking of the temperature. When receiving the transmission indicating the completion of measurement from the measuring device 12, the data processor 14 commands the measuring device 12 to transmit a measurement data thereby executing the collection of the measurement data.
