INTRODUCING THE VITALOGRAPH 2120 Description of the Vitalograph 2120 The Vitalograph 2120 is a hand-held spirometer designed for lung function testing in a variety of environments, e.g. hospital wards, occupational health centres, private homes.
Features of the Vitalograph 2120 The Vitalograph 2120 features include: •
database of subject information
•
performs FVC and VC pre- and post tests
•
test results are time and date stamped
•
stores the results of at least 100 tests
•
audible feedback device available
•
printouts of test results available
•
Smart option can automate actions by bypassing the menus
•
On screen battery low indicator
•
auto switch off after 30 minutes of no-use when running off the battery.
Principles of Operation The Vitalograph 2120 measures air expired from a subject by using a large diameter flowhead containing a Fleisch-type pneumotach capable of giving linear results throughout the entire physiological range. During testing, the air flow through the pneumotach produces a very low pressure differential. Internally this pressure is applied to a pressure transducer which produces an electric signal. This signal is converted into digital form, various calculations are performed and the results displayed.
5
Using the Vitalograph 2120 with Peripheral Devices 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.)

INSTALLING THE VITALOGRAPH 2120 Connecting the Vitalograph 2120 to a Power Source The Vitalograph 2120 is ready for use when you unpack it. It is recommended you connect the power supply to the unit, as described below, to ensure it is fully charged. Note that it is not necessary to turn on the Vitalograph 2120 when charging. Whenever testing is finished, the power supply should be connected 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 charge immediately.

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 calibration 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%.
Attaching the Syringe to the Vitalograph 2120 Attach the Vitalograph 2120 to the precision syringe as illustrated in the following diagram. It is recommended that the Vitalograph 1 Litre Syringe can be used. This has an accuracy of +/-0.5%.

Using the or buttons, set the volume of the precision syringe that is being used. It is very important to set this up correctly, otherwise, the accuracy check will not function properly.

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.
6.
With an even stroke, pump the contents of the syringe into the unit. The stroke must be at least one second in duration. 18
7.
Wait for a double beep, withdraw the syringe piston fully and repeat step 6 until five beeps occur. It is very important to wait for the double beep before withdrawing the piston each time.

(if, for some reason, an update is still required then press the DEL button at this stage) If the volume difference with the previously stored calibration value is greater than 3%, then an update is recommended.
9.
An accuracy check report can be printed when prompted to do so. Ensure your printer is set up correctly (refer to Chapter 9), and press ↵, otherwise press ESC.
Note: if you check accuracy during a test session and attempt to update the calibration, you will be informed that the current test session will be completed. If you press ↵, the calibration will be updated and the best test to date will be saved to the database. If you press ESC, the calibration will not be updated and testing can resume.

Any Problems ? With reference to step 7 in the previous section, the user will be prompted (by means of a double beep) for another stroke of the syringe when the volume difference of the present stroke is not within 3% of the previous stroke. If the maximum of five strokes is executed, then the five beeps will occur, signifying the end of the accuracy check.
