Blood pressure FlexiPort connector \u2013 2-tube fitting
Description
The BP FlexiPort Fitting, 2-Tube - Pack of 10 is a set of original Welch Allyn FlexiPort blood pressure (BP) port fittings designed to connect two-tube BP devices and tubing to Welch Allyn FlexiPort blood pressure cuffs. Each PORT-2 fitting provides a standardized two-tube FlexiPort interface, enabling quick connection and disconnection of cuffs without repeatedly attaching and detaching tubing from the monitor. Supplied as a non-sterile accessory, these compact plastic fittings are used in hospitals, clinics and primary care settings to support routine non-invasive blood pressure measurement while simplifying cuff standardization across multiple devices.
Bnefits
- Provides a standardized two-tube FlexiPort connection for compatible Welch Allyn blood pressure cuffs and monitors.
- Enables quick, snap-in connection and disconnection of cuffs, improving workflow efficiency and reducing setup time between patients.
- Supports cuff standardization across multiple devices, allowing one FlexiPort-enabled cuff family to work with many monitors.
- Pack of 10 fittings offers convenient stocking and replacement for busy clinical environments.
- Compact, lightweight fittings add minimal bulk to tubing and are easy to handle during routine BP measurement.
- Manufacturer-original accessory helps maintain system compatibility and consistent performance compared with generic connectors.
Indications
- Use as an accessory fitting to connect compatible Welch Allyn FlexiPort blood pressure cuffs to two-tube non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) devices.
- Intended for non-invasive blood pressure measurement in clinical settings such as hospitals, GP surgeries, outpatient clinics and emergency departments.
- Suitable for use with Welch Allyn devices and other monitors that are compatible with Welch Allyn FlexiPort 2-tube fittings when configured according to manufacturer guidance.
Composition
- Non-sterile molded plastic body designed as a two-tube FlexiPort fitting.

- Supplied as non-sterile accessories in manufacturer or distributor packaging labelled with product name, brand, quantity and part number PORT-2.
- Individual fittings are loose or bagged within the outer pack depending on distributor packing configuration.
Usage
- Intended for use by trained healthcare professionals familiar with non-invasive blood pressure equipment.
- Identify the FlexiPort connection on the Welch Allyn blood pressure cuff and align the 2-tube FlexiPort fitting (PORT-2) with the cuff’s FlexiPort receptacle.
- Press the fitting firmly into the FlexiPort cuff port until it snaps securely into place, confirming that both tubes are fully engaged.
- Connect the opposite ends of the two tubes to the compatible BP device tubing or ports as specified by the monitor manufacturer or local configuration.
- Before use on a patient, verify that the system inflates and deflates properly and that there are no air leaks at any connection point.
- Use the fitting only for non-invasive blood pressure measurement; do not use for any invasive or sterile applications.
- Clean and disinfect the fittings between patients according to local infection-control policies and the manufacturer’s recommendations for FlexiPort cuffs and accessories.
- Inspect fittings routinely for cracks, deformation, discoloration, loose connections or reduced retention; discard and replace any fitting that shows signs of wear or damage.
Contraindications
- Not for invasive use or for connection to intra-arterial or other invasive pressure monitoring systems.
- Do not use if the fitting is cracked, deformed or fails to lock securely into the FlexiPort cuff, as this may cause air leaks and inaccurate blood pressure readings.
- Do not use with non-compatible devices or cuffs that are not designed for Welch Allyn FlexiPort connections.
- Not intended for sterile procedures; do not use where sterile, single-use accessories are required.
Adverse Effects
- No direct patient adverse effects are expected when used as a non-invasive connector.
- Incorrect or loose connections may lead to inaccurate or failed blood pressure measurements, which could indirectly impact clinical decision-making if not recognised.
- Overtightened or poorly routed tubing associated with the fitting may cause transient discomfort or skin indentation at the cuff site.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a clean, dry location at normal room temperature away from excessive heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
- Keep fittings in their 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 could degrade the plastic material.
- Keep out of the reach of children and non-clinical personnel.
Duration
Not applicable \u2013 this product is a reusable accessory used only during the period of each non-invasive blood pressure measurement.
Onset
Not applicable \u2013 mechanical connector with no pharmacological or physiological effect.
