[Patent Literature 1] Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. H06-003314
Generally, the amount of urine accumulated in a urine bag is regularly and visually checked by a staff member of a hospital, such as a nurse. The staff member checks the amount of urine on the basis of a scale marked on the urine hag, discharges the urine from the urine bag to a graduated cylinder, and weighs the urine, thereby recording the amount of urine in a management sheet or the like. Accordingly, for example, the physical condition or the like of a patient after surgery is managed, or timings of taking urine from a urine bag are adjusted or the like. In recent years, patient information has come to be managed using electronic medical records. For this reason, management methods in the related art require the work of registering a urinary output recorded in a management sheet in electronic medical records.
