1. Welcome to Blue Cherry
Thank you for choosing the Blue Cherry diagnostic platform, we are sure you will be very happy
with your choice, and find the advanced functionality offered by Blue Cherry a great benefit in your
diagnostic activities.
The Blue Cherry diagnostic platform offers its user a level of functionality which is unsurpassed,
providing multiple diagnostic measurements from within a single software platform. Addition of
further diagnostic measurements couldn’t be easier: simply purchase the required hardware and
plug it into a spare USB 2.0 port on the PC. The Blue Cherry system will recognise the new device
and testing will become available within the diagnostic platform.
The Blue Cherry platform works well as a standalone device for the smallest of requirements,
however expansion for the future is simple. The software has been designed to allow connection of
multiple units to a single Blue Cherry Database to allow centralisation of data, for the purposes of
reporting or statistical analysis, further with the ability to interconnect with many Hospital
information systems using the HL7 format, the diagnostic system can be integrated into even the
largest of requirements.

2.1 Description and Scope of Delivery
2.1.1 Description
The medical device Diffustik is a PC based system, which is used for the
determination of the diffusion capacity in lung function measurements.
It could be used as a single device or in combination with other
products of Geratherm Respiratory.
The Diffustik consists of a gas analyzer for carbon monoxide (CO) and
methane (CH4), a demand valve with shutter unit as well as a housing
with integrated electronic. The Diffustik connects to a PC via the
integrated USB interface. The established Ergoflow Flow sensor
principle is used for flow measurement.
The Diffustik can only be used with the medical cart authorized by
Geratherm Respiratory. The galvanic isolation of the electric power
system is done by the medical cart. All peripheral equipment like
computers, printers or monitors should only be connected to the
electric power system of the cart.
The Software Blue Cherry is delivered with the Diffustik. Its Standard
version contains Measurements for SVC, FVC, CO-Diffusion as well as
Pre/Post analysis and trend analysis. Furthermore it contains a powerful
database for patient and test information and has a modular design,
which offers the possibility of combination with other measurements.
The modular and flexible software concept allows user specific
configuration of Blue Cherry. A user may add to the predefined
medication list, select between different predicted equations sets and
add further predicted equations, define new parameters, configure
results table and change patient data input view.
Blue Cherry can be connected to office information software via a GDT
interface. There are different export possibilities into Excel and XML.
Using the standard Microsoft ®clipboard, all charts may be imported
into standard software such as MS Word or MS PowerPoint.
The protocol printing happens by the Windows Printer Interface. Every
Windows compatible printer can be used. All test readings and

2.2 Setup
It is recommended to install the system in a way that allows an optimal
use of the complete system.
It is recommended to the operator to perform all described methods to
clean, setup, sterilize and disinfect the device.
The connectors of the Diffustik are located at the back side of the
device.
Connect a grounded power supply cable to the AC 230V input (1). Now
connect one of the bus connector (2) with the bus connector of the gas
analyser and the remaining bus connector with the flow electronic. The
USB connector (3) must be connected to your PC while using the
delivered USB cable.
The connectors of the analyzer can be found on the right side of the
rear panel.

Connect a grounded power supply cable to the AC 230V input (1). Now
connect the bus cable to connector (2) of the analyzer. The gas sample
hose has to be connected to the blue Luer connector of the analyzer (3).
Connect the system only to AC sources which are
connected to a reliable protective earth conductor (3-
pin cable, grounded) and which specifications meet the
details described on the label on the rear of the
housing.
Extension cords must not be used.
On request Geratherm Respiratory provides diagrams,
parts lists, descriptions, setting instructions as well as
other documents, which could help the operator to
setup, maintain and repair the device.
