1. A system for providing non-invasive blood pressure values for a patient, the system comprising:
- a non-invasive blood pressure monitor; and
a non-invasive blood pressure cuff arranged to be operatively connected to the monitor and to be worn on a limb of a patient, wherein the cuff and monitor comprise communication means for automatically communicating at least one parameter associated with a physical attribute of the cuff to the monitor;
wherein the monitor is arranged to automatically adjust a blood pressure analysis algorithm of the monitor based upon the parameter associated with the cuff.

Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for collecting non-invasive blood pressure readings from a patient is provided. A non-invasive blood pressure cuff is arranged to be worn about a wrist of a patient and to be operatively connected to a blood pressure monitor. Communication means are operatively connected to the blood pressure cuff the monitor and arranged to automatically communicate a parameter associated with the cuff to the monitor. The monitor is arranged to automatically adjust blood pressure algorithms based upon the parameter to enhance the accuracy of blood pressure readings.

7. A method of collecting non-invasive blood pressure readings from a plurality of patients in a healthcare setting, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing each patient with a dedicated non-invasive blood pressure cuff arranged to be worn about a limb of the patient and operatively connected to a non-invasive blood pressure monitor; assigning a cuff parameter to each blood pressure cuff, the cuff parameter identifying a physical attribute of the respective cuff; automatically communicating the cuff parameter to the monitor; and automatically adjusting a blood analysis algorithm of the monitor based upon the cuff parameter to optimize non-invasive blood pressure readings taken by the respective cuff. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
