1. 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, the blood pressure cuff configured to be mounted in a first orientation when worn on a right arm and a second orientation when worn on a left arm, the second orientation being the reverse of the first orientation, the blood pressure monitor configured to be in fluid communication with the blood pressure cuff regardless of whether the blood pressure cuff is mounted in the first or second orientation, 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 the first orientation;
receive and secure to a second prong of the blood pressure cuff when the blood pressure cuff is mounted in the 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.
