Caution
You must use the 3 m hose when making neonatal NIBP measurements with the R Series. The 3 m
hose (ZOLL Part No. 8000-0662) is standard on R Series units. Do not use the 1.5 m hose when
making neonatal NIBP measurements; the cuff may not inflate, causing the unit to abort the NIBP
measurement.
You can order additional cuffs and hoses from ZOLL Medical Corporation. See "NIBP
Accessories" on page 24.

Connecting the Hose

The NIBP option comes with a hose that has a plastic connector on one end and a metal
connector on the other end; you must attach the hose to both the R Series unit rear panel using
the metal connector and the cuff's hose using the plastic connector. The cuff has its own short
length of hose with a connector on the end. This connector fits into the end of the hose that is
not connected to the R Series unit.
