Headphone Kit; Stat Mode - SunTech Tango+ Guia Del Usuario

4. Take a Blood Pressure Reading
• If the Tango+ is interfaced to a stress system, prompt Tango+ for a
measurement via the stress system.
• If the Tango+ has the Internal ECG option, prompt Tango+ for a
measurement by pressing the START/STOP on the monitor.
NOTE: During a stress test, some patients' K-sounds may continue to a very low
pressure or, in some cases, all the way to 0 mmHg. This is due to increased arterial
compliance, occurring as arteries dilate in response to exercise. When this occurs,
there is usually a point where the K-sound amplitude drops off sharply, continuing at
a reduced level. The pressure at which this sudden decrease in amplitude occurs will
be reported as the first diastolic reading. If the K-sounds continue past that point for
10 mmHg or more, the second and final diastolic (diastolic tail) will be reported as
the cuff pressure where the sound disappears. An example of how this is displayed is
as follows:
BP = 180/93/58 mmHg
where "180" is systolic, "93" is first diastolic and "58" is the second diastolic
(K-sound disappears). If the difference between the two diastolic points is less than 10
mmHg, only the first diastolic is displayed. If interfaced with a stress system, the Tango
will report the BP result as the systolic and first diastolic blood pressure to the stress
system.

Headphone Kit

• The headphone option of the Tango+ will allow you to listen to the sounds
that are picked up by the microphone in the cuff. These sounds are similar
to those heard when taking a manual BP . Simply plug in the headphones to
the phono jack on the Tango+.
• The headphone kit should only be used as an evaluation/reference tool. The
headphones should not be used as a diagnostic tool.

Stat Mode

Tango+ has the ability to take continuous BP measurements for time sensitive or
emergency situations by pressing the STAT key. The monitor will continue to take
measurements every 2-10 seconds for up to 15 minutes or until the STAT or START/
STOP key is pressed.
• Stat Mode will measure either a Systolic and Diastolic BP measurement or
just Systolic BP measurement. Go to the Main Menu ► Measurement Setup
► Stat Mode Key to set the type of BP measurement to be taken in Stat
Mode, BP (Systolic and Diastolic) or SYS (Systolic only).
• Full BP measurements can take as little as 30 seconds to display a
measurement.
• Sys measurement can take as little as 15 seconds to display at measurement.
• The measurement displayed on the screen will flash to indicate that the
monitor is in STAT mode. When the STAT mode is ended, the monitor will
return to its previous mode.
