How to Use the Tango+ Cardiac Stress Blood Pressure Monitor from SunTech Medical

Transcript

Specifically designed for use in treadmill, bicycle (ergometer), and pharmacological stress testing, the Tango+ reliably monitors blood pressure allowing you to focus on your patient

  • In this video we will show you how to use the Tango+ stress system.
  • Before testing can begin, make sure the ECG leads are hooked up to the patient.
  • Then, verify the ECG signal on the Tango+.
  • Now select the appropriate Orbit-K cuff.
  • The index line on the end of the cuff should fall within the range markers.
  • Apply the cuff with the sensor marker over the brachial artery and wrap securely.
  • For more information, consult the video for the proper sizing and placement of the orbit-K cuff.
  • Next, attach the cuff’s bladder and microphone to the appropriate cables.
  • If desired, place the patient’s finger into the optional SpO2 sensor and secure it with the wrap or tape.
  • The reading will be displayed on the Tango+.
  • Before you begin the actual stress test, take one or two measurements by pressing the Start/Stop button.
  • Make sure the patient is seated or standing still.
  • The blood pressure will display as shown.
  • And the Tango+ will display the beats per minute in millimeters of mercury in the highlighted area.
  • Once you have taken an accurate measurement, you can begin the actual test.
  • The interface stress system will prompt the Tango+ to take a measurement.
  • If Tango+ does not interface, press the Start/Stop button, advise the patient to lightly grip the bar or flip their hand over so it’s resting on the bar. This will ensure an accurate reading has been taken.
  • If you want to repeat BP measurements as quickly as possible, press the Stat key.
    A measurement will begin 2 to 10 seconds after the previous one has finished.
  • The measurement will flash until the next is taken.
  • The monitor will continue to take BP measurements for up to 15 min or until the stat or Start/Stop key is pressed.
  • After removing all of the monitoring equipment the Tango+ will clear the last measurement.
