simpleABI-300 Handheld PVR System – Single-Level + TBI
Newman Medical’s handheld simpleABI Systems stand above others for their ease of use in office settings. Pulse volume recording (PVR) is easier to use, user independent, and gives a more comprehensive view of extremity blood flow*. Portable, easy to use, clinically accurate. Choose handheld simpleABI systems for your practice.
The ABI-300 performs lower extremity physiologic arterial exams including: (i) baseline ABI exams & (ii) ABI with Toe (TBI) exams. The ABI-300 comes with simpleABI Software, Doppler with D8 Doppler probe, DPPG probe, PVR, 2x10cm cuffs, 2x12cm cuffs, 2×1.9cm disposable digit cuffs, manual aneroid, carry bag, user manual, quick reference guides.
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.
Software
Powerful yet simpleABI 300 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
- DICOM software is available as an option
- simpleABI software is compatible with Windows operating systems only; not supported on macOS
Reports
The 300 software provides a complete set of tests and reports for lower extremity arterial evaluation. The tests that can be done with the simpleABI 300 include:
- Single Level Exams – Single level exams for diagnosing obstruction. Can be done using Doppler or PPG as pressure sensor. Meets equipment requirements for CPT code 93922.
- 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.
Doppler
simpleABI systems include a Doppler using Newman Medical’s sensitive, interchangeable probes. Newman Dopplers have the sensitivity and audio response to allow you to hear the blood flow sounds quickly and clearly.
Our 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 speaker is a powerful high fidelity speaker that has an extraordinarily smooth and rich response over the whole range of Doppler sounds.
PVR
Each ABI-300 comes with PVR hardware which quickly and easily produces vascular waveforms. A PVR is a graph of the pulsatile change in limb volume from blood flow using constant pressure. PVR diagnosis has been in use for decades and is a well recognized tool in vascular assessment.
Vascular sensors
All simpleABI vascular probes provide the sensitivity and reliability you need. Newman Medical probes are interchangeable for maximum versatility. Our 5 and 8 MHz vascular probes have a smooth contour design that is comfortable to hold, comfortable for the patient, and easy to clean.
- 5 MHz probes provide excellent deep penetration for deeper arteries like the femoral, popliteal and brachial, and for deep veins
- 8 MHz probes are especially sensitive for vessels near the surface like the radial, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis arteries.
- Audio PPG probe. The DigiDop family of vascular probes also includes a unique PPG probe that generates audible sounds with each pulse. It is an excellent addition for obtaining pulses in the digits to assist in toe-brachial index or penile index measurements.
- The simpleABI 300 comes with 8 MHz and PPG probes; the 5 MHz is optional.
Cuffs
The simpleABI 300 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
- 2 x 12cm
- 1 x 1.9cm digit cuff
Computer (optional)
The computer currently supplied as an optional component of the simpleABI system is a robust netbook computer.
- Operating system: Windows 11
- 11.6 inch diagonal screen
- 4 GB memory
- 500 GB HDD
- Wireless/Bluetooth capability
- 6 to 8 hour battery
These specifications are subject to change as computers change rapidly. The Newman Medical software will already be loaded on the computer.
simpleABI Handheld PVR Stand (optional)
The optional sturdy steel rolling stand for the simpleABI systems includes:
- A wide five legged anti-tip base
- A mounting plate for the computer
- A basket for storing cuffs, gel, etc.
