Status Messages

If there is significant noise (as you may note on the Waveform Display) during a
measurement, the Tango+ will have problems getting a reliable measurement.
Status messages appear over the Status Display in the Main Measurement view or
the Graph View immediately after a reading to indicate that there was a problem
during that measurement. Some errors will produce prompts that will appear over
the BP measurement that provide suggestions to resolving an issue. Status messages
inform you of the validity of a blood pressure reading. To avoid this problem with
subsequent measurements, follow the appropriate solutions below.
Message
AIR LEAK
CHECK ECG
Description
The monitor will
terminate a BP
reading if the
target inflation is
not reached in
60 seconds.
ECG signal is
weak, erratic or
missing for more
than 3 seconds.
No BP reported.
•Check that the cuff or the patient cable is
not leaking on inflation.
•Check that the patient cable is properly
connected to the monitor.
Ensure that a heart rate is displayed on the
Tango+. If so, try again.
Set the Waveform Display (under View in the
Main Menu) to ECG to verify the monitor is
receiving an ECG Signal.
•If the signal is present, take another BP
reading. If it fails to measure a BP , the
patient may have ECG problems which
prevent the Tango+ from working properly.
•If the signal is not present:
•Check ECG lead connections are secure
along the ECG patient cable and at the
electrodes.
•Ensure electrodes are correctly positioned,
prepared and attached.
•Review instructions for your stress system
interface with the Tango+. (See Tango+
Setup, page 7). Check to see that your
Stress System (if Custom, check the ECG
Trigger) is correctly set.
•Check that the cables referred to in the
instructions are correctly seated to their
connectors and show no signs of damage.
