FAQs for Tango M2
Q. The Tango M2 displays a Status Message. What does it mean and what do I do?
A. See the eLibrary within your Tango M2 for quick troubleshooting tips. You can find the eLibrary
under the Main Menu; select Monitor Setup →E-Library →Status Messages. You can also look in
the Tango M2 User Manual under the Status Messages & Alarms section for details on each Status
Message and solution.
Q. The Tango M2 monitor returns a result of 0/0 after blood pressure (BP) measurements. What do
I need to do to get a BP reading?
A. There are certain noisy conditions where the Tango M2 cannot accurately measure BP. When the
Tango M2 encounters these situations, it returns a reading of 0/0. Microphone placement is critical

correctly with my stress system?
A. You cannot use a heart rate or blood pressure simulator to test whether the Tango M2 is working
with your stress system. The Tango M2 monitor requires that the ECG signal and the Korotkoff
sounds, collected by the microphone in the cuff, originate from the same source, meaning the
patient.
