1. A method for the identification of a plurality of system components of a non-invasive blood pressure system, the method comprising:
- wirelessly identifying a plurality of system components that include unique coding elements that encode information with a reading unit of a monitor including reading-out the information encoded by the coding element of the system components without attaching the identified system components to a body of a patient;
wherein the plurality of identified system components includes a hose and at least one of a cuff and a rack; and
checking, with the monitor, a compatibility of the identified hose component with each other identified system component based on the information encoded by the respective coding elements.

5. A non-invasive blood pressure measuring system, the system comprising:
-
a monitor; a plurality of further system components including a hose and at least one of a cuff and a rack, each of the plurality of further system components including a coding element encoding information; and a reading unit configured to wirelessly identify at least two of the further system components by reading the information encoded by the coding element of each of the further system components; wherein the monitor is configured to check a compatibility of the identified hose component with each other identified further system component based on the information encoded by the respective coding elements. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-invasive blood pressure monitoring system comprising:
-
a pressure cuff configured to be fitted over a limb of a patient; a cuff coding element attached to the pressure cuff and configured to store encoded information including at least an identification of characteristics of the pressure cuff; a hose configured to be attached to the pressure cuff; a hose coding element attached to the hose and configured to store encoding information including at least an identification of characteristics of the hose; and
,a monitor configured to be attached to the hose and being configured to; read the cuff coding element and the hose coding element, and determine the compatibility of the pressure cuff and hose. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
