Abstract
Systems and methods described herein use pairing to associate a wireless sensor with a patient monitoring device such as a bedside patient monitor or a mobile device. A signal emitted by a patient monitoring device can be detected by a wireless sensor. The wireless sensor can be associated with the detected signal and pair the wireless sensor with the patient monitoring device. The wireless sensor can be configured to enter into a patient parameter sensing mode of operation after the association of the wireless sensor with the patient monitoring device.

A system for electronically pairing a wireless physiological sensor with a patient monitoring device, the system comprising:
- a wireless physiological sensor having a paring mode and a parameter sensing mode, the wireless physiological sensor comprising a non-invasive detector configured to detect a physiological parameter associated with a patient;
- and
- one or more hardware processors configured to:
- detect a pairing signal from a physiological monitoring device with the non-invasive detector that is also configured to detect the physiological parameter associated with the patient;
- associate the wireless physiological sensor with the patient monitoring device based on the detected pairing signal;
- configure the wireless physiological sensor to enter into the patient parameter sensing mode after the wireless physiological sensor is associated with the patient monitoring device.
A method for electronically pairing a wireless physiological sensor with a monitoring device, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication for a wireless physiological sensor to enter a pairing mode;
- detecting a pairing signal from a physiological monitoring device with the non-invasive detector of a wireless physiological sensor, wherein the non-invasive detector is configured to detect the physiological parameter associated with the patient;
- associating the wireless physiological sensor with the patient monitoring device based on the detected pairing signal;
- configuring the wireless physiological sensor to enter into the patient parameter sensing mode after the wireless physiological sensor is associated with the patient monitoring device.
