Connecting the NIBP Cuff
Connecting the NIBP cuff requires you to attach the inflation hose to the Propaq MD unit and
the NIBP cuff. To use the SureBP feature, which enables the Propaq MD unit to measure blood
pressure on cuff inflation, you must use the FlexiPort cuff and dual lumen (two-tube) adaptor
and hose. You can also use a single lumen (one-tube) hose and adaptor with the Propaq MD
unit, but the unit will only measure blood pressure on cuff deflation.
To connect the NIBP cuff to the Propaq MD unit:
1. Attach the inflation hose’s threaded metal connector to the NIBP connector on the side
panel of the Propaq MD unit. Mesh the threads carefully so that the connector turns easily
and then turn the connector in a clockwise direction until it is snug. Attach a double lumen
hose as follows:
