Blood pressure monitor attachment assembly

A blood pressure monitor configured to removably mount to a blood pressure cuff in a substantially symmetrical position with respect to a width of the blood pressure cuff, said blood pressure monitor comprising:

• a housing comprising an interior;
• a first port configured to:
• receive and secure to a first prong of the blood pressure cuff when the blood pressure cuff is mounted in a first orientation;
• receive and secure to a second prong of the blood pressure cuff when the blood pressure cuff is mounted in a second orientation;
• and
• enable fluid communication between the interior of the housing and at least one of a first fluid passage within the first prong and a second fluid passage within the second prong;
• and
• a second port configured to:
• receive and secure to the second prong of the blood pressure cuff when the blood pressure cuff is mounted in the first orientation;
• and
• receive and secure to the first prong of the blood pressure cuff when the blood pressure cuff is mounted in the second orientation;
• wherein, when the first prong is received and secured within the second port, fluid communication between the interior of the housing and the first fluid passage is inhibited.

An assembly comprising:

• a blood pressure monitor comprising:
• a housing comprising an interior;
• a first port;
• and
• a second port spaced from said first port;
• and
• a blood pressure cuff configured to secure around a portion of a subject's body, said blood pressure cuff comprising:
• a bladder;
• a first prong comprising a first fluid passage in fluid communication with an interior defined at least partially by said bladder;
• and
• a second prong spaced from said first prong, said second prong comprising a second fluid passage in fluid communication with said interior defined at least partially, by said bladder;
• wherein said blood pressure monitor and said blood pressure cuff are removably attachable to one another via engagement between said first and second ports and said first and second prongs;
• and
• wherein the blood pressure monitor is configured such that, when said first prong is secured within said first port and said second prong is secured within said second port:
• said interior of said housing is in fluid communication with said first fluid passageway of said first port;
• and
• fluid communication between said interior of said housing and said second fluid passageway of said second port is inhibited.
