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.

- Each connector is supplied loose or in a small inner bag within the outer pack, depending on distributor packaging.
- 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.
