Abstract: A method and an assembly for identifying a measuring cuff from among different available measuring cuffs in non-invasive blood pressure measurement, in which method measuring electronics and safety electronics as well as a first identification arrangement and a second identification arrangement are used, and in which method the first and the second identification arrangement are used independently from each other. In order to achieve reliable identification, second means for the second identification arrangement are arranged to operate based on the cooperation of a magnet and a circuit identifying a magnetic field.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water separator for a gas analyzer, comprising a tube (12) for passing a gas sample into the water separator, wherein water separation is effected in a tubular passage by dividing the flow into two partial flows. The wall or walls (3) of a first tubular passage (17) are made of a porous material, readily permeable to gas, and this main flow, which has penetrated the wall, is passed into a second tubular passage (4) and via a tube (10) on to measuring sensors (5 and 6) but the water, which is not able to penetrate the porous wall of first passage (17), is passed along with a minor amount of gas down a passage (17, 13) into a water receiver (15) and this many times lesser side flow further via a tube (14) into a third tubular passage (16), through its porous wall (3) into a fourth tubular passage (18) and via a tube (11) through a flow throttle (7) on to a pump (8).
