Description
The Welch Allyn ELI 280 Housing Tape is the genuine two-sided 3M VHB acrylic tape used to bond the ELI 280 upper housing and touch screen assembly. It is a manufacturer service part, supplied in the thickness and width the assembly calls for.
- 3M VHB Acrylic – the tape is 3M VHB acrylic foam tape, the bonding material specified for the housing
- Service Dimensions – 0.045 inch thick by 0.75 inch wide, matching the ELI 280 assembly
- Genuine Service Part – the manufacturer's own tape for the upper housing and touch screen assembly
The Specified Bonding Tape for ELI 280 Housing Service
When an ELI 280 electrocardiograph is opened for service, its upper housing and touch screen assembly are bonded with a specific double-sided tape rather than a generic adhesive. This is that tape, a 3M VHB acrylic tape supplied by Welch Allyn as the service part for the job. VHB acrylic foam tape is chosen where a thin, strong and lasting bond has to hold housing parts together through years of clinical use. Using the specified tape keeps the repaired assembly seated the way the manufacturer intended. Baxter also lists the ELI 380 electrocardiograph among the compatible products for this tape.

Why Choose the Welch Allyn ELI 280 Housing Tape?
Service teams use this tape because housing repairs call for the exact bonding material the assembly was designed around. A generic tape of the wrong thickness can leave a touch screen seated high or a housing seam under strain.
- Specified Material – 3M VHB acrylic at the exact thickness and width the assembly uses
- Genuine Part – supplied by Welch Allyn for ELI service rather than substituted from a hardware roll
- Clean Repair – the thin foam bond holds housing parts flush through clinical use
