There are certain noisy conditions where the Tango M2 cannot accurately measure BP. When the Tango M2 encounters these situations, it returns a reading of 0/0. Microphone placement is critical for reliable operation of the Tango M2; there are many places to find cuff placement help.

1. See the eLibrary within your Tango M2 for quick cuff placement tutorials. You can find the eLibrary under the Main Menu; select Monitor Setup >E-Library > Tutorials.
2. Look in the Tango M2 User Manual under the Using Tango M2 during a Stress Test section for details on each type of cuff; the Orbit-K and the Single Patient Use (SPU) kit.
3. Follow the instructions in the Cuff Tutorial (located on the SunTech Medical website under Support > Product Training & Tutorials) for correct microphone placement.

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.

Please refer to the instructions for use.

Verification of Pressure Calibration is required every year to maintain the accuracy of the Tango M2’s BP readings. You will need to contact the SunTech Medical Technical Support for help. In addition, the following items will be needed to verify calibration.

Equipment Required:

1. Calibrated electronic manometer or equivalent.
2. 500mL volume or the Orbit-K Adult Plus cuff wrapped around something that will not break or crush (no glass).
3. Hand Inflation Bulb with bleed valve.
4. Tubing, Tee pieces, and miscellaneous connectors or you can order the T-Tube Kit (SunTech Part # 98-0030-00).
