Re: RE LifePak 12 NIBP

All:
Just a note of caution.  NIBP is dependant on the physics of the
pressure pulsations in the cuff, coupled through the tubing to the
monitor where they are actually transduced into the information
displayed on your monitor.  It is highly recommended that you do NOT
change the tubing supplied by the manufacturer of the monitor for NIBP. 
Your NIBP performance will suffer, and it's not all that great to begin
with.  If you are having trouble with connectors, get the manufacturer
to fix it.
