1. A blood circulation system that can be connected to a human body, and is configured to transfer removed blood to the human body via a blood transfer pump, the system comprising:
the blood transfer pump;
a blood removal line through which removed blood flows to the blood transfer pump;
a blood transfer line that is configured to transfer blood, which is sent from the blood transfer pump, to the human body;
a blood removal rate sensor that is provided in the blood removal line; and
a controller that includes a blood removal rate signal input interface connected to the blood removal rate sensor and performs linked control of the blood transfer pump in correspondence with a blood removal rate measured by the blood removal rate sensor such that a blood transfer rate of the blood transfer pump is in a specific range with respect to the blood removal rate,
wherein, for a target blood transfer rate of the blood transfer pump in normal control, the blood transfer pump transfers blood independently from the blood removal rate,
wherein the blood transfer rate is provided to the controller, and a linked blood transfer rate storage stores data relating to a linked blood transfer rate when blood transfer control transitions from the linked control to the normal control,
wherein an operation amount input unit is provided, to which an operation amount from an arbitrary position can be input by a manual operation, and which outputs a pulse signal according to the input operation amount, and a counter that adds and subtracts pulse signals output from the operation amount input unit, and outputs a resultant as blood transfer rate adjustment data, and the counter performs a counting operation with respect to the linked blood transfer rate when the blood transfer control transitions from the linked control to the normal control, and
wherein the controller calculates the target blood transfer rate of the blood transfer pump by adding the blood transfer rate adjustment data to the data relating to the linked blood transfer rate stored in the linked blood transfer rate storage.
