Abstract: The present application discloses a system for monitoring blood pressure. The system comprises a blood pressure cuff including a connector having an identifier associated with a blood pressure cuff size and a blood pressure measurement device comprising an emitter and a detector, the detector operatively connected to a processor. When the blood pressure cuff connector is mated with the measurement device, the emitter is positioned to direct radiation at the identifier and the detector is positioned to receive radiation from the identifier and generate a signal. The processor then determines the blood pressure cuff size based on the signal received from the detector.

Abstract: A non-invasive blood pressure monitor has a blood pressure cuff and a wireless blood pressure determination unit. The wireless blood pressure determination unit automatically determines the fastest method for measuring blood pressure of a patient based on an initial blood pressure measurement made while inflating the cuff.

Abstract: A system for monitoring patient physiological data is disclosed herein. The system comprises a wireless patient monitoring device with a known device identity having a first sensor for retrieving patient physiological data, and a data reception device comprising a processor for processing data received via a wireless communication protocol from the patient monitoring device and a memory for storing the known patient monitoring device identity, the memory being connected to an identity input device for entering the known patient monitoring device identity. The data reception device can receive and process identification data to obtain a patient monitoring device identity and to compare said identity with the stored known identity. When the identity matches, the data reception device is allowed to receive and process the retrieved patient physiological data.

Abstract: A system for monitoring patient physiological data is disclosed herein. The system comprises a wireless patient monitoring device with a first sensor adapted for retrieving patient physiological data and a second sensor for retrieving patient biometric information and a data reception device adapted to communicate with the wireless patient monitoring device using a wireless communication protocol to send patient physiological data and patient biometric information from the wireless patient monitoring device to the data reception device. The data reception device comprises a processor for processing patient physiological data received from the wireless patient monitoring device and adapted to process said patient biometric information to obtain a patient identity.

Abstract: A wireless patient monitor comprises a generic activator module having a universal connection port that connects with any one of multiple sensor devices, a battery, and a radio transmitter wirelessly connected to a host device. The generic activator module connects to any one of multiple sensor devices via the universal connection port to provide power from the battery to the sensor device and to receive digital physiological data from the sensor device. The radio transmitter transmits the digital physiological data received from the sensor device to a host device.
