Draeger Vista 120
Dräger · Model Vista 120
Essential monitoring capabilities • Available in three models, the Vista 120 displays 8 waveforms in an easy-to-configure layout. A core set of essential parameters comes standard on all models: 3/5 lead ECG, SpO2, non-invasive blood pressure, respiration and dual temperature. In addition, advanced parameters are available, including two invasive blood pressures and etCO2, depending on the model. Supports workflow efficiently and cost-effectively • The Vista 120 is easy to learn and easy to use. The bright 380 mm (15") screen provides a clear view of patient data, even from a distance. You can configure the display to see the information you want to see, the way you want to see it. Fast access keys and simplified menus put the data you need right at your fingertips. A nurse call interface allows connection to most hospital call systems. For workflow flexibility, the Vista 120 can be mounted on a ventilator, to an anesthesia machine, or on the wall. Comprehensive set of accessories • Each Vista 120 monitor includes a starter set of accessories for adult patients. A wide range of accessories, including those that support pediatric and neonatal patients, are available separately as options. Part of a complete departmental solution • The Vista 120 supports adult, pediatric and neonatal patients in a variety of care environments – including Intensive Care Units, Operating Rooms, Emergency Departments and Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Use the Vista 120 on its own or with a complementary Dräger device, such as a ventilator, anesthesia machine or baby warmer. The Vista 120 also offers advanced parameters for the ICU, OR, ED and NICU, depending on the model you choose. Built in recorder, power supply and battery • The Vista 120 has an integrated recorder that prints out up to 3 channels of information – saving time by providing documentation when and where you need it. There is a built-in power supply for direct AC connection, as well as an optional 120-minute built-in battery.
Key tips
- ·A no-signal/flatline alarm gets checked on the patient first, not the monitor - rule out a real clinical event before troubleshooting.
- ·Recalibrate NIBP against a reference manometer, not just a self-test pass.
- ·Reused patient cables (SpO2, ECG leads) are a common source of intermittent-fault complaints - swap the cable before the module.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
ECG lead-off / artifact
MediumSymptoms: Flat or noisy ECG, frequent lead-off alarms.
Root cause: Worn electrodes, loose leads, or dry gel.
NIBP measurement error
MediumSymptoms: Cuff fails to inflate, erroneous BP, long cycle.
Root cause: Pump/valve wear or cuff leak.
Internal battery depletion
HighSymptoms: Short backup time, battery alarm on transport.
Root cause: Aged backup battery.
Display / touch panel fault
LowSymptoms: Dim, flickering, or unresponsive screen.
Root cause: Backlight or digitizer failure.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Routine cable and lead-wire inspection for fraying/wear
- ·Battery conditioning cycle
- ·NIBP calibration check against a reference manometer
- ·ECG / SpO2 accuracy verification against a patient simulator
- ·Annual electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: ECG lead-off / artifact
- Confirm the presentation - typically flat or noisy ECG, frequent lead-off alarms - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: worn electrodes, loose leads, or dry gel.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the eCG patient cable & lead set per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: SpO2 probe / sensor failure
- Confirm the presentation - typically no pleth, SpO2 drops to --- or false low - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: lED/photodiode aging or cable damage.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the spO2 sensor (adult/ped/neo) per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
