The display module 115 outputs at least one selected from the group including the ratio of the measured value measured by the sensor module 112 and the remaining weight with respect to the initial weight of the liquid 20 calculated by the control module 114 . Here, the display module 115 may be implemented in the form of a touch screen or a display screen on the front surface of the main body 110, as shown in FIGS.

On the other hand, as a method of calculating the initial weight, the display module 115 outputs measured values measured by the sensor module 112, and the input module 111 calculates The confirmation signal of the weight can be inputted. The confirmation signal for the initial weight may be a kind of initialization signal that starts a new liquid 20 and may be input by touching an OK button on the input module 111 or touching a button displayed on the touch screen. The control module 114 can calculate the initial weight of the liquid 20 by using the initial weight inputted with the confirmation signal and the type of the liquid receiver 10 inputted from the input module 111. [

In addition, the control module 114 counts the elapsed administration time from the administration point of the liquid 20, and the display module 115 can output the counted administration time. Thus, by displaying the elapsed time from the time when the liquid receiver 20 is administered in the display module 115, the elapsed time can easily be confirmed by a medical staff or a guardian.
