SureBP double-tube blood pressure hose for Connex and Spot Vital Signs monitors

Description

The Welch Allyn SureBP Double-Tube Blood Pressure Hose (part number 4500-31) is a 10 ft (3.0 m) non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) hose designed to connect Welch Allyn SureBP cuffs to compatible devices such as the Connex Vital Signs Monitor, Connex Integrated Wall System and Spot Vital Signs / Spot Vital Signs LXi monitors. It is a dual-lumen, latex-free hose with dedicated connectors at each end, providing a reliable, extended-length connection between the monitor and adult or paediatric cuffs.

Bnefits

Provides a 10 ft (3.0 m) extended length for flexible patient positioning and easier access during blood pressure measurement.
SureBP double-tube design supports accurate, fast non-invasive blood pressure measurements with Welch Allyn monitors.
Compatible with Connex Vital Signs Monitors, Connex Integrated Wall Systems and Spot Vital Signs/Spot Vital Signs LXi devices using SureBP technology.
Latex-free construction reduces risk of latex-related allergic reactions for patients and clinicians.
Dedicated monitor and cuff connectors simplify setup and minimise risk of incorrect connections.
Durable medical-grade hose designed for repeated clinical use in hospitals, clinics and primary care settings.
Dual-lumen configuration is optimised for adult and paediatric NIBP measurements when used with appropriate Welch Allyn cuffs.
Standardised Welch Allyn part number (4500-31) makes replacement ordering and inventory management straightforward.

Indications

Use as a non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) hose to connect compatible Welch Allyn SureBP cuffs to Welch Allyn monitors.
Intended for adult and paediatric NIBP measurements when used with suitable cuffs and devices.
For use with compatible Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitors, Connex Integrated Wall Systems and Spot Vital Signs / Spot Vital Signs LXi monitors that accept the SureBP double-tube hose.
Use in hospitals, clinics, emergency departments, outpatient practices and other professional healthcare environments where NIBP monitoring is required.

Composition

Dual-lumen (double-tube) non-invasive blood pressure hose.
Latex-free construction (not made with natural rubber latex).
Medical-grade flexible tubing, typically PVC or similar polymer, suitable for repeated inflation/deflation cycles.
Proximal connector: dedicated Welch Allyn device-end connector compatible with Connex and Spot Vital Signs family monitors.
Distal connectors: dual cuff-end fittings designed to interface with Welch Allyn SureBP two-tube cuffs.
Internal air channels designed to withstand repeated pressurisation within the device’s specified pressure range.

Formulation

SureBP double-tube blood pressure hose.
Nominal length: 10 ft (approximately 3.0 m).
Designed for adult and paediatric non-invasive blood pressure monitoring.
Accessory component for Welch Allyn Connex and Spot Vital Signs NIBP systems.
Latex-free, non-sterile, reusable medical accessory.
Configured as a dual-lumen hose with one device-end connector and two cuff-end connectors.

Packaging

Supplied as a single (each) SureBP double-tube blood pressure hose.
Individually packaged, labelled with manufacturer, brand, and part number 4500-31.
May be supplied in multi-unit outer cartons for institutional purchasing.
Packaging includes basic identification and traceability information for clinical inventory management.

Usage

Before use, inspect the hose for visible damage, kinks, cracks or signs of wear. Do not use if any damage is observed.
Identify the device-end connector and insert it firmly into the NIBP hose port of the compatible Welch Allyn monitor until it clicks or seats securely according to the monitor’s instructions for use.
Attach the two cuff-end connectors to the corresponding ports on a compatible Welch Allyn SureBP double-tube cuff, ensuring secure, leak-free connections.
Verify that the hose is routed without sharp bends, kinks or compression points that could obstruct airflow.
Follow the instructions for use of the Welch Allyn monitor and cuff to position the cuff correctly on the patient and to initiate and complete NIBP measurements.
After use, disconnect the hose by releasing the device-end connector according to the monitor’s instructions and uncoupling the cuff-end connectors from the blood pressure cuff.
Clean and disinfect the hose between patients according to local infection-prevention policies and the manufacturer’s guidance for cleaning non-invasive blood pressure accessories (typically wiping with a suitable approved disinfectant; do not immerse unless explicitly permitted).
Do not modify the hose or fit Luer-lock or other non-approved connectors to the tubing.
Periodically re-inspect and replace the hose in accordance with facility policy or if any damage, stiffness, leakage or unreliable readings are observed.

Contraindications

Do not use if the hose is visibly damaged, cracked, kinked, leaking or does not securely connect to the monitor or cuff.
Do not use with non-compatible blood pressure monitors or cuffs that are not designed for Welch Allyn SureBP double-tube hoses.
Do not fit Luer-lock or other invasive-line connectors to the hose, to avoid risk of misconnections to intravenous lines.
Do not use for invasive blood pressure monitoring or any application involving direct vascular access.
Do not use in environments or with cleaning agents that are incompatible with the hose materials as specified by the manufacturer.

Adverse Effects

If misused or if the hose is kinked or compressed, the monitor may generate inaccurate blood pressure readings, potentially leading to clinical misinterpretation.
Misconnection of blood pressure tubing to an intravenous line (if modified or used with non-approved connectors) could cause serious patient injury from inadvertent air or fluid injection.
Prolonged cuff inflation due to blocked or damaged tubing could cause patient discomfort or, in extreme cases, limb injury.
Allergic reactions to materials are unlikely due to latex-free construction but may occur in patients with sensitivities to other polymers or cleaning agents used on the hose.

Storage Conditions

Store the hose in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or cold.
Avoid storing the hose sharply bent, twisted or under heavy objects that could permanently kink or deform the tubing.
Keep away from oils, solvents and harsh chemicals that could degrade the tubing material.
When stored attached to a monitor or wall system, ensure the hose is loosely coiled or supported to prevent strain at the connectors.
Follow any additional storage recommendations in the connected device’s instructions for use.

Duration

Not a therapeutic product; it is used only for the duration of each non-invasive blood pressure measurement and remains in service life-long subject to routine inspection and replacement policies.
