Blood pressure monitor accessory \u2013 tri-purpose male connector fittings
Description
The BP Fitting Tri-Purpose Male - Pack of 10 is a set of tri-purpose male blood pressure (BP) connector fittings manufactured by Welch Allyn for use with their sphygmomanometers and blood pressure monitoring systems. Each fitting is a small, lightweight, non-sterile connector designed to interface between Welch Allyn blood pressure cuffs and compatible devices that use the tri-purpose connection standard. The fittings enable quick and reliable attachment of BP tubing and cuffs to wall-mounted, mobile or other Welch Allyn sphygmomanometers, ensuring consistent non-invasive blood pressure measurements in clinical environments. The Medisave UK listing identifies the product under SKU 5082-168, supplied in a pack of 10 connectors, with a unit weight of approximately 0.01875 lb and compact dimensions around 1.0 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches.

Retail outer packaging labelled with Welch Allyn branding, product description, quantity (10/pack) and SKU 5082-168.
Usage
Intended for use by trained healthcare professionals familiar with non-invasive blood pressure monitoring equipment.
Identify the compatible tri-purpose port on the Welch Allyn blood pressure device or sphygmomanometer and the corresponding BP cuff/tubing connection.
Attach the tri-purpose male fitting to the device or tubing as per local configuration, ensuring a firm and secure connection without leaks.
Connect the opposite end to the appropriate Welch Allyn BP cuff or tubing assembly, confirming that all connections are fully seated before use.
Verify that there are no air leaks in the system by visually inspecting the connections and, if needed, performing a quick test inflation.
Use the connector only for non-invasive blood pressure monitoring; do not attempt to use it for any invasive procedures or with incompatible equipment.
Clean and maintain according to local infection-control policies and the device manufacturer’s recommendations; do not autoclave unless the manufacturer explicitly states the connector is autoclavable.
Inspect connectors regularly for signs of wear, cracking, deformation or loss of secure fit and replace the entire fitting if any damage or degradation is observed.
Contraindications
Not for use as an invasive device or in applications other than connecting compatible blood pressure cuffs and monitors.
Do not use if the connector is visibly damaged, cracked, deformed or unable to create a secure connection, as this may lead to inaccurate blood pressure readings or loss of cuff pressure.
Use only with compatible Welch Allyn blood pressure equipment and tri-purpose connection systems; incompatibility with other systems may compromise performance.
Not intended for sterile or intra-arterial applications; do not use in any situation where a sterile, invasive connector is required.
Adverse Effects
No direct patient adverse effects are expected when the connector is used correctly as a non-invasive accessory.
Improper connection or use of a damaged fitting may lead to inaccurate blood pressure measurements, which could in turn contribute to inappropriate clinical decisions if not recognised.
Overtightened or improperly routed BP tubing associated with the connector may cause patient discomfort or temporary skin indentation at the cuff site.
Storage Conditions
Store in a clean, dry environment at normal room temperature away from excessive heat, direct sunlight and moisture.
Keep in original packaging or an appropriate storage container when not in use to protect from dust and mechanical damage.
Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or solvents that may degrade the plastic material.
Keep out of reach of children and non-clinical personnel.
Duration
Not applicable \u2013 this product is a reusable, non-invasive accessory used during the duration of blood pressure measurements.
Onset
Not applicable \u2013 mechanical connector accessory with no pharmacological or physiological onset of effect.
