The Dopplex Ability also excels over other ABI automated systems as it measures the blood pressures in both arms , using the patented two chamber cuffs, before utilising the higher pressure to calculate the ABI. This complies with current guidelines for ABI measurement and calculation published by NICE, ESC, TASC2 and AHA while automated systems which measure the pressure in one arm only, may miss or incorrectly classify cases of PAD.
- Using Huntleigh dopplex ABIlity, rapid Bi-Lateral ABI measurements takes less than 5 minutes per patient without the need for a clinician.
- 95% Accuracy when compared to Ultrasound Duplex imaging (Lewis et al, 2014)
- In a typical 3 hour surgery, 33 patients could be tested.
- An average sized surgery could have up to 300 patients who are at risk to having PAD. Testing them with Dopplex ABIlity would have taken 25 hours in total vs 150 hours with the traditional method.
