1 VITALINQ™ INTRODUCTION
Vitalinq™ is a communication system designed to
meetthespecicneedsthatariseduringdiagnostic
and interventional procedures. Vitalinq™ enables
physicians to have continuous two-way conversation
with control room operators throughout diagnostic
and catheterization procedures. Capable of picking up
conversations in a normal tone of voice, the Vitalinq™
allows control room operators to respond immediately
to physicians requests. As vital signs are monitored by the control room operator, the physician
can receive up-to-the-moment communication on the patient’s condition.
The Vitalinq™ communication system provides speakers and microphones for the procedure
room (LAB) and control room (TEK). The speakers are mounted in the ceiling. Control room
operators have the option of using the overhead speaker and desk microphone, or a headset.
The procedure room microphone is attached to the video monitor (or monitor cluster) opposite
the physician, or optionally, integrated into the ceiling by replacing a standard ceiling tile.
The unique construction of our procedure room microphones contribute to Vitalinq’s high
intelligibility, even within the acoustically active space of a full-functioning lab. Designed to
minimize the loss of articulation by reducing the potential echo path, Vitalinq™ gathers and
transmitsspeechinahighlyefcientmanner.
Complete and comprehensive, the Vitalinq™ removes the need for talk-listen switching,
eliminating the risks posed by breaks in conversation. Physicians and control room operators
may converse without interruption.
Integrated into the console but operationally separate from the communication system is a
stereo system capable of playing music from a variety of sources. Sources include AM/FM
radio (subject to the limitations imposed by building shielding effects), compact discs and
musicfromexternaldevicessuchasasmartphone,satelliteradio,ashdriveoranydevice
capable of output to a mini-stereo or USB jack.
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 corded headset
• Auxiliary wireless headsets are available 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
• Telephone interconnectability

2 SETTING UP THE VITALINQ™ SYSTEM
2.1 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 in the control room. 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.
The LED on the front of the console illuminates when there is power to the system.

2.2 Initial settings
Turn the headset LISTEN controls to the 12:00 position. Turn the overhead control room
LISTEN VOLUME to OFF. Plug power cord into 120 volt AC outlet. The LED on the front of
console will illuminate as soon as power is available.
2.3 Adjusting the headset
Put on headset and have someone go into procedure room and speak. The LISTEN knob next
to the headset controls the volume of what you hear through the headset. HEADSET TALK on
rear of console controls volume that procedure room hears. This typically only needs to be set
once. The headset microphone tube telescopes. Move microphone tube tip close to the corner
of your mouth. Use the in-line mute switch located between the headset cable and the headset
coil cord to mute the headset microphone as needed.
2.4 Adjusting desk microphone and speaker sensitivity
Temporarily unplug the headset. The CONTROL ROOM LOUDSPEAKER controls are at the
lower front of the console between the HEADSET jacks. Turn the LISTEN VOLUME switch
to 3 and listen to the procedure room. You should be able to hear background noise. Place
the switch on the side of the microphone in the LOCK position and touch the silent operation
touch switch on the front of the microphone base. The LED indicator on the microphone base
will illuminate. Turn the TALK VOLUME control clockwise while pressing the BUTTON
located below it until you just barely hear feedback (a squeal). Release the BUTTON. The
TALK volume level is now set. As you switch the LISTEN VOLUME louder or softer, the
soundinthelabvariesbyaninverseamounttopreventfeedback.Whennished,unlockthe
microphone by touching the selector switch. Place the mode selector on the microphone base in
either the LOCK or TALK position. Plug the headset back into the console.
