Software components installed in each medical device composing a medical network system is replaced efficiently and the service load on a software producer which provides the software component is reduced. A component server for storing and managing the latest versions of the software components is connected via the network to each medical device composing the medical network system. At a predetermined timing such as upon starting the medical devices for example, each medical device accesses the component server via the network or vice versa. Whether or not the component installed in each device is the latest version is checked, and the latest version is transferred from the component server to the medical device when the component is not the latest version. The medical device is then restarted. |
