The present embodiments include one or more wireless patient sensors that may be coupled, or recoupled, to a patient monitor to ensure that the patient monitor is displaying information from the intended source. In other embodiments, the wireless sensors described herein may use one or more unique tokens to establish a coupling between the wireless sensor and the patient monitor though wireless communication channels. In addition, the present embodiments relate to wireless sensors and patient monitors each having one or more audio/visual features that indicate the coupling status between them, and may also locate and/or identify one or more wireless sensors coupled to the patient monitor, or vise versa. The audio/visual features may include an audio feature, a visual feature, or a combination thereof. In particular, the visual feature may be a display feature (e.g., electronic ink display).
