Abstract
A medical system wherein multiple medical devices are connected to a system controller which controls the medical devices via communication lines is arranged such that in the event that trouble occurs, a user operates a maintenance button, which causes the system controller to display multiple trouble items relating to the actions of the medical devices on a display panel, and the user specifies a trouble item matching the currently-occurring trouble from the displayed multiple trouble items, whereby the system controller performs estimation processing for recovering from the specified trouble item and displays countermeasures information for recovering from the trouble item based on the estimation processing, and the user performs processing following the displayed countermeasures information, thereby enabling trouble to be efficiently recovered from.
