1 VITALINQ™ INTRODUCTION
Vitalinq™ is a communication system designed to
meetthespecicneedsthatariseduringdiagnostic
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 conversation in a normal tone of voice, 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
transmitsspeechinahighlyefcientmanner.

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
musicfromexternaldevicessuchasasmartphone,satelliteradio,ashdriveoranydevice
capable of output to a mini-stereo or USB jack.

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 & foot switches.
• 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
mountedtothemonitorarrayoppositethephysician.(Ifspecicallyrequestedwhenthe
system was purchased, you may have an overhead microphone in the ceiling instead of the
monitor microphone). The control room is where the console is located to which all devices
are ultimately connected. Also in the control room and plugged into the console, are a desk
microphone and a headset with foot switch. One desk microphone, headset and foot switch are
included with each system.
On the front of the console, divided between the top and bottom, are controls for the music
system and controls for talking and listening to the procedure room, respectively. At the rear of
the console are 1/4” jacks for foot switches 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, FOOT SWITCH jack and HEADSET jack on each side of the console
work together. If a headset is plugged into the HEADSET jack on the left side of the console,
the foot switch for this headset needs to be plugged into the LEFT FOOT SWITCH jack on the
rear of the console. Conversely, if a headset is plugged into the HEADSET jack on the right
side of the console, the foot switch for this headset needs to be plugged into the RIGHT FOOT
SWITCH jack on the rear of the console. When depressed, the foot switch allows the headset
to transmit speech to the procedure room. Without a foot switch connected, the headset
constantly transmits sound to the procedure room.
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 OVER HEAD CONT ROLS, at the bottom center of the console, are for the desk
microphone and speaker in the control room. In the OVER HEAD CONTROLS section are
a TALK switch and an overhead LISTEN VOLUME control. The BUTTON and TALK
VOLUME are only used for setup.
The TALK /MUTE switch on the console should always be in the TALK position when using
a desk mic, and the LED will be RED. The TALK /MUTE switch and its associated LED are
used primarily with a Control room pyramid microphone (optional equipment), which has no
other switch. In this situation, when the LED is RED the people in the procedure room can
hear you. With the TALK/M UTE in MUTE, the LED will be GREEN and the Control room
mic is off.
3
2.2 Initial settings
Tur n LISTEN controls to the 12:00 position. LISTEN VOLUME control OFF. Plug power
cord into 120 volt AC outlet. Set the TALK / MUTE switch to TALK. The LED above talk switch
should be RED.
2.3 Adjusting the headset
Put on headset and listen to person in procedure room. LISTEN controls what you hear.
HEA DSET TALK, on rear of console controls volume that procedure room hears. The headset
microphone tube telescopes. Move microphone tube tip close to the corner of your mouth.
Pressing foot switch allows you to talk and listen simultaneously to procedure room.
2.4 Adjusting the overhead controls
Unplug the headset. The OVERH EA D controls are at the lower front of the console between
the HEADSET jacks. Turn the LISTEN VOLUME switch to 3 and listen to the Lab. You
should be able to hear background noise. Lock the desk mic in the talk position by depressing
the LOCK button on the microphone base. The blue lamp behind the LOCK button will
illuminate. Turn the TALK VOLU ME control clockwise while pressing the BUTTON until
you just barely hear feedback 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
aninverseamounttopreventfeedback.Whennished,besuretounlockthemicrophoneby
pressing the LOCK button again. The blue lamp will go out.

headset is easy to adjust. The headband slides in and out of the ear-cup. Put the headset on. The
headset microphone tube telescopes. Move it so that the microphone tube tip is near the corner of
your mouth. Listen to someone in the procedure room.

Pressing the foot switch allows you to talk via the headset, to people in the procedure room.
You will hear the people in the procedure room whether the foot switch is pressed or not. Not
pressing the footswitch will mute your voice. Unplugging the foot switch un-mutes the headset
microphone. Adjust the headset LISTEN volume for a comfortable level by means of the volume
control labeled LISTEN. The left headset LISTEN volume control is for a headset plugged into
the left jack and the right one controls the right jack. The foot switches control the same side
jack. The white slotted shaft on the rear by the left footswitch jack labelled HEADSET TALK
controls both of the headsets talk volume.
3.2 Operation of overhead speaker and desk microphone
Adjust the LISTEN VOLUME control to a comfortable level for people in the control room.
To talk to the procedure room without using the headset, place the TALK switch in the TALK
position. The GREEN light will turn RED. The desk mic has a push to talk switch on its base.
If desired, the microphone may be locked in the always on mode
by pressing the LOCK button on the microphone base. There
is a blue light behind the button that lights up to show that it
is locked on. To release the always on mode, press the LOCK
button again. There is a blue light behind the button that lights
up to show that it is locked on.
If the TALK VOLUM E control is turned too far clockwise, you
will hear a hum or squeal; turn it down using your thumbnail
or small screwdriver, as described in Section 2.5. It is normal
to have to speak louder when using the overhead TALK
position. When not in use leave the TALK switch in MUTE.
The talk volume may be adjusted by following the directions on
the console.
To lock the microphone in the “always
on” position, press the “Lock” button.
To unlock, press the “Lock” button
again. A blue light behind the button
is illuminated when the microphone is
locked on.
The “Talk” button is used for normal Push-To-Talk operation.
