simpleABI-Q | Rapid PAD Screening System (Doppler-Free PVR)
The simpleABI-Q is a Doppler-free rapid PAD screening system that uses Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) to deliver quick, repeatable vascular assessments. It’s built for speed, simplicity, and staff efficiency – virtually any trained team member can run the test, no Doppler experience required. Rather than diagnostic confirmation, the ABI-Q focuses on rapid detection of at-risk patients who need further evaluation.
Fast, Accessible PAD Screening — Without Doppler
Best for:High-volume screening environments, diabetic foot clinics, and practices needing fast, staff-driven PAD assessments without Doppler expertise
Screen First. Confirm with Doppler
The simpleABI-Q isn’t a replacement for diagnostic ABI testing – it’s the first step. Use it to screen broadly and quickly, then refer abnormal or borderline results for Doppler-based confirmation on the simpleABI-250 (portable manual Doppler) or simpleABI-400CL (Cuff-Link system with optional ABI-Q software), both recognized by AHA/ACC as gold-standard.
Why Choose PVR-Based Screening?
PVR evaluates blood flow by measuring volume changes in the limb rather than arterial pressure, which means it works in patients with calcified arteries — common in diabetes — without needing a Doppler signal. Results are consistent and operator-independent, with fast test times suited to high patient throughput. It’s especially valuable in diabetic, podiatry, and primary care settings.
