Q. The Tango+ monitor returns results of 0/0 after blood pressure measurements. What
do I need to do to get a BP reading?
A.
There are certain noisy conditions where the Tango+ cannot accurately measure BP.
When the Tango+ encounters these situations, it returns a reading of 0/0. Placement of the
microphone attached to the cuff is critical for reliable operation of the Tango+. Follow the
instructions in the
Cuff Tutorial
(located on the SunTech Medical website under Products
Tango+) for correct microphone placement. Follow steps 1 and 2 in Conducting the
Stress Test in the User's Guide to provide the best conditions to obtain a measurement.
Q. Can I use a heart rate or blood pressure simulator to test whether the Tango+ is
working correctly with my stress system?
A.
You cannot use a heart rate or blood pressure simulator to test whether the Tango+ is
working with your stress system. The Tango+ monitor requires that the ECG signal and the
Korotkoff sounds, collected by the microphone in the cuff, originate from the same source,
meaning the patient.
Q. I cannot clearly see the Tango+ display. How do I fix this?
A.
If you cannot clearly read Tango+, you can adjust the contrast of the display by following
these steps:
1. When the operating screen is displayed, press the
SELECT
