The Tango M2 monitor returns a result of 0/0 after blood pressure (BP) measurements. What do I need to do to get a BP reading?

Can I use a heart rate or blood pressure simulator to test whether the Tango M2 is working correctly with my stress system?

You cannot use a heart rate or blood pressure simulator to test whether the Tango M2 is working with your stress system. The Tango M2 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.

How do I clean the Orbit-K cuff after a stress test?

Please refer to the instructions for use.

My Tango M2 displays a message, “Please Verify Calibration” or “Equipment Maintenance and Calibration Required.” What do I do?
