CONNECTING THE VITALOGRAPH 2120 TO A POWER SOURCE The Vitalograph 2120 is ready for use when you unpack it. It is recommended you dock the unit in its cradle, as described below, to ensure it is fully charged. Note that it is not necessary to turn on the Vitalograph 2120 when charging. The cradle must, however, be connected to a power source. Whenever testing is finished, the unit should be docked for recharging. If the Vitalograph 2120 is not used over a prolonged period ie. one month or longer, before use recharge the battery for 16 hours. If a battery low indication is given, the unit should be placed on the cradle immediately.
Power Input Serial Port
1. Plug the power supply (21001204) into the back of the cradle as shown above. 2. Connect the mains cable to the Power Supply. 3. Plug the other end of the Mains Cable into your nearest supply outlet. 4. The cradle will now be capable of supplying power to the Vitalograph 2120. Simply dock it in the cradle as illustrated below. Cradle
2120 docking area

If you connect additional equipment (not produced by Vitalograph) to the serial interface port, it must conform to VDE0750 Part 1-1 regulations and to your EN specifications, eg. EN60950 for data equipment, EN60601 for medical equipment. Non medical equipment must be kept outside the patient environment ie. any area in which intentional or unintentional contact between the patient and parts of the system, or some other persons touching parts of the system, can occur. (Contact your distributor if you have any queries.)
TURNING ON THE VITALOGRAPH 2120 Turn on the Vitalograph 2120 by sliding the switch at the side of the unit towards the flowhead. The date that the device was last checked and the memory status are briefly displayed. Pressing ESC at any time during this screen will by-pass it.

Defining Smart The Smart feature is used to automate actions you perform routinely by leading you through a sequence of functions such as performing an FVC test, running a post test, printing test results, and so on. In Smart, when you turn on the Vitalograph 2120, you are led through a sequence of displays that depend on the selected functions. (Be careful not to press the ESC button unless you wish to exit from Smart.) In order to set up Smart, select Config in the Setup menu. Se t

About the Software This is used to obtain information about the software. This information should be used if any queries are made to Vitalograph or a service agent. Select Config in the Setup menu.
CHECKING ACCURACY When you turn on the Vitalograph 2120, it displays the date that accuracy was last checked on the unit. In accordance with the international standards governing spirometry, it is recommended that accuracy is checked daily. ATS recommendations require that the difference between the volume measured by the spirometer and the volume pumped into the spirometer from the syringe is within 3%.
10
Attaching the Syringe to the Vitalograph 2120 Attach the Vitalograph 2120 to the precision syringe as illustrated in the following diagram i.e. with the on/off switch towards the table. It is recommended that the Vitalograph 1 Litre Syringe be used. This has an accuracy of +/-0.5%. If the flowhead has recently been used for testing then the temperature must be lowered to ambient by pumping room air through it prior to calibration using the syringe.
Select Calib in the main menu. Se t

Ensure the syringe piston is fully withdrawn. At this point, connect the unit to the syringe and leave it in a stable position - do not move the unit during this procedure. With an even stroke, pump the contents of the syringe into the unit. The stroke must be at least one second in duration. Wait for a double beep, withdraw the syringe piston fully and repeat stroking until five beeps occur. It is very important to wait for the double beep before withdrawing the piston each time.

PRINTING TEST RESULTS The Vitalograph 2120 is capable of printing informative, well presented reports. Ensure that the correct printer is selected in the Setup menu as previously described. There are three choices available for printing test results: • • •
printing the results of the current test printing the results of all stored tests for all patients printing the results of a particular test stored for a specified patient 17
Connecting to a Printer For printing, the Vitalograph 2120 Printer Cable (2120505) is required to interface between the cradle and the parallel port of the printer. Use the following procedure.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Ensure everything is powered off and unplugged before setting up. Connect Printer Cable (2120505) to the serial port of the cradle. Connect the other end of the Printer Cable to the printer. Switch the printer on. Plug the power supply into the cradle.
Printing Results Select Print in the main menu. Ensure that the printer is switched on and that the Vitalograph 2120 is placed in the cradle. Se l e c t P r i n t > CURRENT AL L RECA L L
Op t i o n
If a test has just been completed, select Current to print the results. It is recommended that test results are archived daily. This can be achieved by selecting the All option. A patient can also be recalled from the database for printing. Note: as soon as the Vitalograph 2120 returns to the main menu, it can be lifted from the cradle – but not beforehand.
DELETING PATIENT INFORMATION AND / OR TEST RESULTS There are four choices available for data deletion: • • • •

USING THE VITALOGRAPH 2120 WITH SPIROTRAC Spirotrac is Vitalograph’s PC based spirometry system. For more information, contact your local sales agent. In order to use the Vitalograph 2120 with Spirotrac, the Spirotrac Connectivity Kit (74075) must be purchased. To connect the Vitalograph 2120 to Spirotrac, connect the hand-held device to the cradle with the coily cable as illustrated below. Then connect the cradle to the PC with the 9 way to 9 way serial cable.
For further information on setting up Spirotrac, consult the Spirotrac user manual.
