GE Healthcare Expands NIBP Tubing for Improved Patient Monitoring

In the high-stakes environment of ICU wards, even a minor tubing connection issue can compromise blood pressure monitoring accuracy, potentially affecting clinical decisions and patient outcomes. Recognizing the critical importance of precise measurements, GE Healthcare has launched a diverse range of non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) tubing solutions designed to ensure secure connections and reliable patient monitoring.

The newly announced NIBP tubing portfolio is specifically engineered to connect GE patient monitors with CRITIKON™ blood pressure cuffs, catering to neonatal, pediatric, and adult applications. These latex-free tubes are available in multiple lengths and connector configurations, eliminating potential allergic reactions while minimizing air leaks to maintain measurement accuracy.

The NIBP tubing series offers various configurations to meet different clinical needs and device compatibility requirements:

Adult/Pediatric Series:

• Gray shield to micro connector (3.6m/12ft) for DINAMAP Pro series and compatible monitors
• Gray shield to screw connector (3.6m/12ft) for multiple monitor models
• Gray shield to DINACLICK™ connector with 3.6m and 7.2m options
• Micro connector (3.6m) compatible with B40, B105, B125 and Dash™ series monitors
• DINACLICK connector with three length options (1.2m, 3.6m, 7.2m) for multiple monitor platforms
• Screw connector (3.6m) for various patient monitoring systems
• Specialized DINACLICK and paired micro connectors for specific monitor models

Neonatal Series:

• Female slip luer connector with 2.4m and 3.6m options
• Neo-Snap connector available in two lengths for different monitor platforms
• Gray shield to female slip luer connector (3.6m) for DINAMAP Pro series
• Gray shield to Neo-Snap™ connector (3.6m) for compatible monitors

Additional Components:

• Tubing instrument connector assembly

The DINACLICK connectors meet ISO 80369-5 international standards, significantly reducing the risk of misconnection with other medical devices. GE Healthcare notes that when using certain monitor models for NIBP measurements, the solutions are recommended for patients weighing over 5kg (11lbs).

As a global leader in medical technology and digital solutions, GE Healthcare continues to develop innovative products that support clinical workflows and improve patient outcomes. This comprehensive NIBP tubing portfolio represents the company's ongoing commitment to advancing patient monitoring technology through reliable, clinically validated solutions.
