simpleABI-Q Rapid PAD Test | 1-2 Min Point-of-Care

simpleABI-Q | Stand-Alone Rapid PAD Screening System (Doppler-Free PVR)

Best for: High-volume screening environments, diabetic foot clinics, and practices needing fast, staff-driven PAD assessments without Doppler expertise

Fast, Accessible PAD Screening — Without Doppler

The simpleABI-Q is a Doppler-free rapid PAD screening system that uses Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) technology to deliver quick, repeatable vascular assessments.

It is designed for practices that need speed, simplicity, and staff efficiency, allowing virtually any trained team member to perform the test—no Doppler experience required.

Unlike Doppler-based ABI systems, the simpleABI-Q focuses on rapid detection, making it ideal for identifying at-risk patients who require further evaluation.

Screen First. Confirm with Doppler

The simpleABI-Q is not a replacement for diagnostic ABI testing — it is the first step in vascular assessment:

  • Use the simpleABI-Q to screen broadly and quickly
  • Refer abnormal or borderline results for Doppler-based confirmation

For gold standard diagnostic confirmation recognized by the American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC):

Why Choose PVR-Based Screening?

Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) evaluates blood flow by measuring volume changes in the limb, rather than relying on arterial pressure detection. Key advantages:

  • Works in patients with calcified arteries (common in diabetes)
  • No Doppler signal required
  • Consistent, operator-independent results
  • Fast test times for high patient throughput

Clinical relevance: Especially valuable in diabetic, podiatry, and primary care settings.

A computer is currently supplied as a component of the simpleABI-Q system. The computer is a robust netbook that includes*:

  • Operating system: Windows 11
  • 11.6 inch diagonal screen
  • 4 GB memory
  • 64 GB HDD
  • Wireless/Bluetooth capability
  • 6 hour battery

*These specifications are subject to change as computers change rapidly.

The computer will already have the simpleABI software loaded.

Software

Powerful yet simpleABI software saves you time and is what sets the ABI-Q system apart. The software integrates with the system, eliminating the need for separate downloading of the data.

  • Automatic index calculations, avoiding potential errors
  • Automatically stores each exam with time stamp
  • The report can show your logo and contact information.
  • Your physicians, operators and interpreters can be on drop-down editable menus
  • Drop down ICD-10 codes
  • The presentation includes suggested CPT codes and interpretation of results.
  • Multiple and selectable formats to store the reports: PDF, TIFF, CSV, BMP, JPG
  • DICOM software is available as an option
Reports

The ABI-Q software provides a fast, effective global test for the presence of PAD

  • ABI-Q (Quick PVR Assessment) – A PVR based 1-2 minute exam to quickly assess the patient for the presence/absence of PAD.
PVR

Each ABI-Q comes with PVR hardware which quickly and easily produces vascular waveforms.

Cuffs

The ABI-Q 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
Roll Stand (optional)

The optional sturdy steel rolling stand for the ABI-Q system includes:

  • A wide five legged anti-tip base
  • A mounting plate for the computer
  • A basket for storing cuffs, etc.

simpleABI-Q FAQ (Common Questions)

What is the difference between PVR-based ABI and Doppler ABI?

PVR measures blood flow using volume changes, making it fast and easy for screening. Doppler ABI uses ultrasound to measure arterial pressure and is considered the gold standard for diagnosing PAD.

Who should use the simpleABI-Q?

Practices needing fast, accessible vascular screening, especially those without Doppler-trained staff.

Is the simpleABI-Q DICOM compatible?

Yes, all simpleABI systems (simpleABI-Q, simpleABI-250, simpleABI-300, simpleABI-400CL, simpleABI-450CL, simpleABI-500CL, simpleABI-600CL) are DICOM compatible.

Does ABI-Q integrate with other Newman Medical systems?

Yes, all Cuff-Link systems (ABI-400CL, 450CL, 500CL, 600CL) include ABI-Q exam software for dual-mode testing (Doppler ABI + PVR).
