A time-based wireless pairing operation between a medical device, such as a patient bed, and a wall module in a patient room is initiated in response to a power plug of the medical device being plugged into a power receptacle carried by the wall module. Times determined by timers of the medical device and the wall module are compared by the wall module or by the medical device so that wireless pairing occurs only with the medical device that was plugged into the wall module. Different types of plug detectors used in the wall module to detect connection of the power plug include optical detectors, mechanical switches, and current sensors.

Systems and methods for correlating diagnostic readings obtained by at least two medical devices can include a pressure offset correction parameter that is calculated for the purpose of correlating oscillometric blood pressure readings between a 'home' blood pressure monitor and an 'office' blood pressure monitor. The offset correction parameter is used to adjust blood pressure readings of the &#x201c;home&#x201d; or &#x201c;office&#x201d; blood pressure monitor such that these readings can be validly compared with blood pressure readings obtained using the other blood pressure monitor. In this manner, a more complete and reliable blood pressure trend may be developed and used for managing blood pressure related medical conditions.
