APPARATUS AND SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY A BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF SIZE

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.
