1. VITALINQ™ INTRODUCTION
The Vitalinq™ has been designed to meet the unique communication
needs that arise during diagnostic and interventional procedures. It
allows physicians to have a continuous two-way conversation with
control room personnel throughout procedures. Being capable of
picking up conversations in a normal tone of voice, the Vitalinq™
allows control room personnel to respond immediately to any
requests and provide up-to-the-moment communication on the
patient’s condition.
The Vitalinq™ communication system includes speakers and
microphones for the procedure room (LAB) and control room (TEK).
Personnel in the control room have the option of communicating through a headset or listening through an
overhead speaker and speaking through a desk microphone. Personnel in the procedure room do not need to
wear any type of device as their speech is picked up by a microphone attached to the video monitor (or monitor
cluster) opposite the physician and they hear through an overhead speaker. There is no need for talk-listen
switching, eliminating the risks posed by breaks in the conversation. Physicians and control room operators may
converse without interruption.
Integrated into the console, but operationally separate from the communication system is a music system. Music
can be played from any Bluetooth-enabled device such as a cell phone, or by connecting a cable to the line-out
from a device with a standard 3.5 mm headphone plug, such as a satellite radio receiver.
Westrivetoprovidethemostexiblesystemavailable.TolearnmoreaboutVitalinq’sadvancedcapabilities,
please contact us at 1-800-319-6014 or by email at [e-mail].
Advanced capabilities and options include:
• Wireless headset to replace the corded headset
• Wireless headsets for scrub or circulator nurses to provide discreet communication with the control
room operator
• Remote connections for headsets and desk microphones
• Support for multiple headsets/desk microphones

3 OPERATING THE VITALINQ™ SYSTEM
3.1 Description of the VITALINQ™ system
Refer to Section 6 “INSTALLATION” for installation instructions.
The Vitalinq™ is very easy to use and versatile. The standard system is composed of a pair of music
speakers and a communication speaker in both the procedure and control rooms. The speakers are
mounted overhead in the ceiling. The procedure room also has a microphone mounted to the monitor
(or monitor array) opposite the physician. The control room is where the console is located and is where
all devices are ultimately connected. Also in the control room and plugged into the console, are a desk
microphone and a headset. One desk microphone and one headset are included with each system.
On the front of the console are controls for the music system and controls for talking and listening to the
procedure room. At the rear of the console are several jacks and a thumbnail adjustable control for the
headset talk volume. Words in BLUE throughout this document refer to labels on the console.
The LISTEN control and HEADSET jack on each side of the front of the console work together. There
is an in-line mute switch provided with each headset to mute the headset microphone when desired. If
preferred,afootswitchcanbeusedinsteadofthein-linemuteswitch.ContactCustomerSupportifyou
would prefer to use a foot switch.
The volume of the headset earpiece is adjusted using the LISTEN volume control located adjacent to the
HEADSET jack. The volume for the procedure room communication speaker (used to transmit speech
from the control room) is controlled by the HEADSET TALK VOLUME switch located on the rear of
the console.
The CONTROLROOMLOUDSPEAKER region at the center on the front of the console is for control
of the desk microphone and ceiling speaker volume levels. In this section is an overhead LISTEN
VOLUME control for controlling the volume of the control room communication speaker. The
BUTTON and TALK VOLUME in this area are only used during setup.
Before continuing, Make sure the power cord is connected to the POWER connector on the rear of the
consoleandpluggedintoa120voltACoutlet.TheLED on the front of console will illuminate as soon
as power is available.
