P.S.,
You can get this sample tubing from SIL-MED Corporation (700 Warner Blvd,
Taunton MA 02780, USA; voice 508-823-7701, fax 508-823-1438).  They have a
variety of tubing sizes, none of which are appropriate.  They will, however,
custom extrude some for you.  I think there is a minimum order requirement
(maybe 50 feet).  I recently ordered tubing as follows:
50 feet of silicone rubber tubing, 0.010" ID x 0.082" OD, SM1150A - 50
Durometer, Bio-Sil.
At $1.35 per foot, not a bad deal. (of course, that was in July 1998 . . . it
lasts a long time . . . prices may have gone up)
This size should also work for you (I use it in my Elites, and my Vantage),
but you could check with BD for their specs.
