TANGO STRESS TEST BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR INTRODUCTION The SunTech Medical Tango Stress Blood Pressure Monitor is used to monitor blood pressure and heart rate during exercise testing. The Tango can be used as a stand alone monitor, or in conjunction with a host Stress Test system. The Tango consists of a Base unit, Pneumatic/K-Sound Patient Cable, and cuff.
Used only if the Tango is not using an external ECG source. 2.1.4 Front Panel Keypad. Five key membrane pad used to control the Tango operations. 2.1.5 +9.0 volt medical grade power supply, SunTech 19-0011-00. TANGO OUTPUTS 2.2.1 Cold cathode backlit LCD display.
OPERATIONAL MODES & MENU SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Normal Operation - The Tango is a menu-driven system. All programming and operations are controlled by using the front panel keypad. The Tango program prompts the user when input is required, and provides instructions (via the LCD) for what should be done. Refer to the Tango User's Manual for detailed instructions on using the system under normal operational conditions.

Test Serial Port: selecting this menu entry causes the monitor to send the string “Testing <linefeed><carriage return>” out of the serial port using the currently selected stress system protocol. 2. “Test Input Channels”. This option is provided for SunTech use only. 3. “Bootload”. This option is provided for SunTech use only.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The following standard maintenance procedures are provided to ensure correct calibration of the Tango and correct operation of the basic patient safety systems of the Tango SunTech recommends that the calibration and safety systems are checked annually.
4.1.1 VERIFICATION OF PRESSURE CALIBRATION Equipment Required:- 1. Calibrated electronic manometer. 2. 500ml volume. 3. Hand Inflation Bulb with bleed valve. 4. Tubing, Tee pieces and miscellaneous connectors. 4.1.1.1 To perform a Calibration Verification, proceed as follows:- 4.1.1.2 Tee the manometer, the 500ml volume and the inflation bulb together and connect to the patient cable hose connection.
4.1.2 PRESSURE CALIBRATION Equipment Required:- Calibrated electronic manometer 500ml volume Hand Inflation Bulb with bleed valve Tubing, Tee pieces and miscellaneous connectors 4.1.2.1 To perform a Pressure Calibration, proceed as follows:- 4.1.2.2 Tee the manometer, the 500ml volume and the inflation bulb together and connect to the patient cable hose connection.
4.1.3 LEAK RATE TEST Equipment Required:- 1. Stop Watch. 2. 500ml volume. 3. Hand Inflation Bulb with bleed valve. 4. Tubing, Tee pieces and miscellaneous connectors. 4.1.3.1 To perform a Leak Rate test, proceed as follows:- 4.1.3.2 Tee the 500ml volume and the inflation bulb together and connect to the patient cable hose connection.
4.1.4 TIMEOUT CHECK Equipment Required:- 1. Stop Watch. 2. 500ml volume. 3. Hand Inflation Bulb with bleed valve. 4. Tubing, Tee pieces and miscellaneous connectors. 4.1.4.1 To perform a Timeout Test, proceed as follows:- 4.1.4.2 Tee the 500ml volume and the inflation bulb together and connect to the patient cable hose connection.
4.1.5 OVERPRESSURE CHECK Equipment Required:- 1. 500ml volume 2. Hand Inflation Bulb with bleed valve 3. Tubing, Tee pieces and miscellaneous connectors 4.1.5.1 To perform an Overpressure Test, proceed as follows:- 4.1.5.2 Tee the 500ml volume and the inflation bulb together and connect to the patient cable hose connection.
Inspect each board for damage or contamination. Should any damage or liquid contamination be evident, the Tango should be re-assembled and returned to SunTech for board replacement and full re-test. Any dry contamination (eg dust, or small objects that may have fallen through the grill) may be removed, using a brush or gentle compressed air.
Gently ease up the battery retaining spring lever until the battery can be extracted by sliding sideways towards the top edge of the circuit board. 5.3.5 Fit the new battery (SunTech part number 17-0012-00) by sliding it under the retaining clip until it clips securely into the plastic battery holder. 5.3.6 Re-fit the Pump &...
Disassembly and Re-assembly WARNING – When powered, hazardous voltages exist on the Tango main circuit board, in the vicinity of the backlight connector and backlight generator (center of the bottom edge of the pcb). To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not power the Tango main circuit board when any part of the enclosure has been removed.

Refitting of boards is the reverse procedure to disassembly. Take particular care to ensure the correct insertion of the headers connecting the boards, especially the header connecting the main board to the pump and valve board. The pneumatic tubing must be arranged in the same positions as noted before disassembly.
