Frequently Asked questions (FAq's)
q. How do I set up the Tango+ monitor to work with my stress system?
A. To setup the Tango+ with your stress system, please visit the Tango+ Interface
Notes on the SunTech Medical website at www.SunTechMed.com and select
Customer Service ► Downloads and under the Products section, select Tango+.
If your stress system is not listed, please contact us at 1-800-421-8626.
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 at www.SunTechMed.com and select Products ►
Tango+ ► View Orbit-K Cuff Tutorial 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?

following these steps:

times. This will bring up the MAIN MENU screen.
2. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, highlight MONITOR SET UP and press the
SELECT button.
3. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, highlight CONTRAST and press the SELECT
button.
4. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, modify the contrast of the screen. When

5. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, select EXIT twice to return to the Main
Measurement View.
q. How do I clean the cuff after a stress test?
A. To clean the cuff after a stress test, you can do either of the following:
• Remove the bladder and microphone from the shell. Machine wash the shell
in warm water with a mild detergent (50-140°F or 10-60°C). Line dry the
cuff.
• Use a medical grade mild disinfectant on the cuff. Afterwards, line dry.
