To provide a convenient method for performing a coagulation analysis of the blood, such as an activated coagulation time (ACT) or the like, during continuous hemocatharsis treatment or within a blood circuit, such as an artificial heart-lung circuit or the like, so as to perform the continuous hemocatharsis treatment for a long time by conducting the coagulation analysis, such as the activated coagulation time (ACT) or the like, and to check the coagulating ability of the blood in the artificial heart-lung circuit by conducting the coagulation analysis, such as the activated coagulation time (ACT) or the like.
The blood apparatus introduces the blood derived from the venous system or arterial system of a patient to a blood treating section and autotransfuses the blood to the venous system of the patient after the blood is treated. The blood apparatus has a blood coagulation analyzing apparatus either within a blood removing circuit for introducing the blood from the venous or arterial system to the blood treating section or within an autotransfusion circuit for autotransfusing the blood from the blood treating section to the venous system of the patient.
