What Is the Welch Allyn NIBP Air Hose 008-0864-00?

The 008-0864-00 is a compatible aftermarket replacement NIBP air hose designed to connect a blood pressure cuff to a Welch Allyn patient monitor. It serves as the pneumatic conduit through which the monitor inflates and deflates the cuff during non-invasive blood pressure measurement. This replacement hose is not an OEM product and is not manufactured by or affiliated with Welch Allyn or Hill-Rom/Baxter. It is intended for use in clinical environments where cost-effective, reliable replacement parts are essential for maintaining continuous NIBP monitoring capability.

Compatible Monitor Models

This compatible NIBP air hose is confirmed for use with the following Welch Allyn monitors: the 1500, Propaq 102, Propaq 104, Propaq 106-EL, Propaq CS, Propaq CS (Nellcor SpO2), Propaq Encore, and Propaq LT. If you are unsure whether this hose is the correct replacement for your specific monitor configuration, contact IPR Medical at 855-477-8866 or cs@iprmed.com and a member of our team will verify compatibility for you.

Design and Construction

The 008-0864-00 replacement hose measures 6 feet (1.8 m) in length, providing sufficient reach for most bedside and transport monitoring applications. The single-tube design features a PVC jacket in a standard clinical gray color, with an inner diameter of 3.1 mm and outer diameter of 5.8 mm, maintaining adequate airflow for accurate inflation and deflation cycles. The cuff end is fitted with a BP17 male twist-lock connector, specifically designed for compatibility with adult/pediatric bladderless NIBP cuffs used in the Welch Allyn Propaq ecosystem. The hose is latex-free, making it appropriate for use in facilities with latex-sensitive patient populations, and is supplied non-sterile in individual bag packaging.

When to Replace Your NIBP Air Hose

NIBP air hoses should be inspected regularly as part of routine biomedical equipment maintenance. Common indicators that a hose requires replacement include visible cracks, kinking, or brittleness in the tubing; loose or damaged connectors that prevent a secure twist-lock connection; air leaks that cause the monitor to fail inflation or produce erratic readings; and excessive stiffness or deformation that interferes with cuff placement. A compromised hose can result in inaccurate blood pressure readings, failed NIBP cycles, or monitor error codes, all of which may delay patient assessment. Replacing a worn hose proactively is a low-cost intervention that helps maintain measurement integrity across shifts and patient encounters.
