ABI-500CL Advanced Multi-level
Automated System for single level and multi-level studies.
Newman Medical's PC based simpleABI systems are designed to quickly and easily produce the results you need for the diagnosis of lower extremity peripheral artery disease. These systems not only save time in the exam but their simplicity reduces staff training and re-training time. They produce accurate full page reports with the documentation needed for reimbursement.
simpleABI systems lead you through the exam by observing the report coming together on the large computer screen - no need to memorize complex menus or protocols. Since the report is created on the computer, no secondary downloading steps are necessary for storing, printing, or sharing the results.
Cuff-Link Main Control
The Cuff-Link main control unit is, quite simply, an integrated speed machine. The simpleABI 500CL integrates:
- An 8-port cuff selector
- Interchangeable Doppler probes
- Pressure sensors
- A pump
- Control software
All of that integration makes exams easier and faster to perform while also reducing costly errors.
Cuff-link Remote
The Cuff-link remote allows the user to step through the exam with remote push-button simplicity.
- Easily move between sites
- Large, easy to read display of the current cuff pressure.
- Push button inflation
- Automated cuff deflation insures accurate pressures.
- One button waveform creation
Software
Powerful yet simpleABI 500CL software saves you time and is what sets the simpleABI systems apart. The software is an integrated part of the system; no separate downloading of the data is needed.
- Automatic index calculations, avoiding potential errors
- Automatically stores each exam with time stamp
- Your logo and contact information can be shown on the report
- Your physicians, operators and interpreters can be on drop-down editable menus
- Drop down ICD-10 codes
- Suggested CPT codes and interpretation of results are shown
- Multiple and selectable formats to store the reports: PDF, TIFF, CSV, BMP, JPG
Reports
The 500CL software provides a complete set of tests and reports for lower extremity arterial evaluation. The tests that can be done with the simpleABI 500CL include:
- Single Level Exams - Single level exams for diagnosing obstruction. Meets equipment requirements for CPT code 93922.
- ABI-Q (Quick PVR Assessment) - A PVR based 1-2 minute exam to quickly assess the patient for the presence/absence of PAD.
- ABI (Ankle Brachial Index) - with dual ankle Doppler pressures and PVR waveforms. This is the fundamental PAD exam.
- ABI with Toe (Ankle Brachial Index + Toe or TBI) - with dual ankle Doppler pressures and PVR waveforms. PPG or Doppler can be used on toes. Typically used if the patient has calcified vessels the ABI cannot be obtained.
- Segmental Exams - Multi-level exams for determining the level of obstruction. Meets equipment requirements for CPT code 93923.
- Three cuff - with dual ankle Doppler pressures and PVR waveforms. Ankle, calf, above knee. This is the fundamental PAD exam.
- Three cuff with Toe - with dual ankle Doppler pressures and PVR waveforms. PPG or Doppler can be used on toes. Typically used if the patient has calcified vessels the ABI cannot be obtained.
- Four cuff - with dual ankle Doppler pressures and PVR waveforms. Adds high thigh location to 3 cuff exam.
- Four Cuff with Toe - with dual ankle Doppler pressures and PVR waveforms. PPG or Doppler can be used on toes.
- Modern, efficient Segmental Exams - Multi-level exams done with PVR. These tests are much faster, easier on the patient, provide the information needed to determine the level of occlusion and meet CPT requirements
Doppler
The Cuff-link includes a built-in Doppler using Newman Medical's sensitive, interchangeable probes. Cuff-link Dopplers have the sensitivity and audio response to allow you to hear the blood flow sounds quickly and clearly.
Unique magnetic probe holder won't crack or break and gently cradles the probe when not being used. The open design avoids gathering dirt, gel and germs.
The Cuff-link speaker is a powerful high fidelity speaker that has an extraordinarily smooth and rich response over the whole range of Doppler sounds.
Vascular sensors
All Cuff-link vascular probes provide the sensitivity and reliability you need. All probes will work on all Cuff-links for maximum versatility.
- 8 MHz probes are especially sensitive for vessels near the surface like the radial, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis arteries.
Cuffs
The simpleABI 500CL system comes with a complete set of specialized vascular cuffs. They are a washable soft material over a non-latex bladder. The cuffs are long enough to completely encircle the limb. The set includes:
- 2 x 10cm EZ-Clean Vasocuffs
- 4 x 12cm EZ-Clean Vasocuffs
- 2 x 12cm long EZ-Clean Vasocuffs
- 2 x 2.5cm disposable digit cuffs
The ABI-Q is a 1-2 minute exam performed without a Doppler to quickly diagnose PAD. The ABI-Q exam utilizes PVR waveforms, a well recognized vascular diagnostic tool, in conjunction with software to aid the physician in assessing the presence or absence of PAD. Simply wrap a cuff on both ankles, take a PVR on each ankle, and proprietary software algorithm provides an assessment of the waveforms. Quick, easy, and effective.
