The Tango Interface

Standby mode When the Tango is powered, the power indicator is lit and the run hours are displayed on the LCD. All changes to altitude and ramp settings are made in standby mode.
Ramp Setting a ramp time enables therapy to start at a low pressure and build up to full pressure during the ramp time (see “Set ramp time”).
Altitude Changes in altitude affect the pressure delivered by the Tango. The altitude feature compensates for pressure changes related to changes in altitude (see “Set altitude”).
Run hours Run hours are displayed when the Tango is in standby mode.
Humidifier The humidifier buttons are used when using the C-Series Heated Humidifier and when setting the altitude. The heating indicator lights when the humidifier is on.

Setting up the Tango

CAUTION

• Be careful to place the device where it cannot be bumped, and where no one will trip over the power cord.
• If you put the device on the floor, make sure the area is free from dust and clear of bedding, clothes or other objects that could block the air inlet.
• Make sure the area around the device is dry and clean.

WARNING

• Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.
• Only ResMed air tubing should be used with the device. A different type of air tubing may alter the pressure you actually receive and reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.
• Blocking the hose and/or air inlet of the device while in operation could lead to overheating of the device.

1. Connect the power cord to the rear of the Tango.
2. Plug the other end into a power outlet.
3. Connect the air tubing to the air outlet of the Tango.
4. Connect the assembled mask system to the free end of the air tubing.

Using the Tango

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING

Beware of electric shock. Do not immerse the flow generator or power cord in water.
Always unplug the flow generator before cleaning and make sure it is dry before reconnecting.

CAUTION

• Do not hang the air tubing in direct sunlight as it may harden over time and eventually crack.
• Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based solutions, moisturizing or antibacterial soaps or scented oils to clean the air tubing or the Tango. These solutions may cause hardening and reduce the life of the product.

Daily: Disconnect the air tubing and hang it in a clean, dry place until next use.
Weekly:

1. Remove the air tubing and wash it in warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly, hang and allow to dry.
2. Before next use, reassemble the mask and headgear.
3. Reconnect the air tubing.

Monthly:

• Clean the exterior of the Tango with a damp cloth.
• Check the air filter for holes and blockage by dirt. Replace it every six months, or more often in a dusty environment.
  For information on cleaning your mask or humidifier, refer to the manual supplied with your mask or humidifier.

Changing the Air Filter

CAUTION

Do not wash the air filter.

1. With the power cord and air tubing disconnected, turn the Tango upside down so the air inlet is facing you. The air filter is inside the air inlet.
2. Pull the old air filter out of the air inlet.
3. Put the new air filter into the air inlet in the direction shown by the arrow, with the blue side facing towards you.

General Warnings and Cautions

A warning alerts you to possible injury.

• Read the entire guide before using the
• The advice in this guide should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing
• The Tango should only be used with masks (and connectors*) recommended by ResMed, or by a physician or respiratory A mask should not be used unless the Tango is turned on and operating properly. The vent hole or holes associated with the mask should never be blocked.

Explanation: The Tango is intended for use with special masks (or connectors*) with vent holes allowing a continuous flow of air out of the mask.

• When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent If the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air is provided through the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing exhaled air for longer than several minutes can sometimes lead to suffocation. If there is a power failure or the device machine malfunctions, remove the mask.
• The Tango can be set to deliver pressures up to 20 cm H2 In the unlikely event of certain fault conditions, pressures up to 30 cm H2O are possible.
• If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not If oxygen has been left on while the device is not operating, disconnect the oxygen and wait 30 minutes before turning on the flow generator again.

Explanation: When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the air delivery tubing may accumulate within the CPAP machine enclosure and create a risk of fire.

• Oxygen supports combustion. Do not use oxygen while you are smoking or in the presence of an open
• Always ensure air is flowing from the device before turning on the oxygen
• Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping the airflow from the Note: At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on where the oxygen is introduced, pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection and leak rate.
• Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable
• Do not use the Tango if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in
• Do not open the Tango There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorized service agent.

A caution explains special measures for safe and effective use of the device.

• At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not clear all exhaled gas from the Some rebreathing may occur.
• The airflow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 11°F (6°C) higher than the temperature of the room. Be careful if the room temperature is warmer than 90°F (32°C).
• Ports may be incorporated into the mask or in connectors that are near the mask

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the C-Series Tango system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the C-Series Tango system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the C-Series Tango system.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the C-Series Tango system

The C-Series Tango system is intended for use in an environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the C-Series Tango system can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the C-Series Tango system as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
