Review the solutions for CHECK ECG and
CHECK MIC.
• Check that the microphone is positioned
over the brachial artery on the patient (see
Proper Cuff Placement, page 19).
• Check that the patient cable microphone
and the connection to rear panel of the
Tango+ are secure.
• Review instructions for your stress system
interface with the Tango+. Check that the
ECG trigger (under Main menu ► Monitor
setup ► Stress System) is correctly set.
• Check that the microphone is flat (not bent)
and that its wire is securely connected. If
they are not, the microphone needs to be
replaced.
• Test microphone by tapping the cuff and
checking for a rising and falling signal
on the Waveform Display. If there is no
movement in the signal, the microphone
needs to be replaced.
• Replace microphone and cuff annually.
• Instruct your patient to drop his arm by
his side while a BP reading is in progress
(avoid excessive bending of the arm).
• Check that the patient cable is not being
pinched or blocked.
Instruct your patient to drop his/her arm by
their side and relax their arm while the BP
reading is in progress.
