PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETER PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING OPERATION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETER PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETER PROCESSING SYSTEM
A probe having a sensor configured to be attached to a living body to detect a physiological parameter and an information element configured to identify the sensor is connected to an interface of a physiological parameter processing apparatus. A detecting section of the physiological parameter processing apparatus detects, through the interface, whether the information element is present and whether the sensor is present. In response to the information element being detected but the sensor not being detected, a limiting processor of the physiological parameter processing apparatus limits at least a part of a function of the information element.
