Description

Automated System for Single-level, multi-level, single level with exercise, & treadmill studies.

Cuff-Link Main Control

The Cuff-Link main control unit is, quite simply, an integrated speed machine. The simpleABI 600CL integrates:

• An 8-port cuff selector
• Interchangeable Doppler probes
• Pressure sensors
• A pump
• Control software

Cuff-link Remote

• 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

• 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

Reports

• 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.
• Segmental Exams – Multi-level exams for determining the level of obstruction. Can be done using Doppler or PPG as pressure sensor. Meets equipment requirements for CPT code 93923.
  • Three cuff Segmental
  • Three cuff with Toe
  • Four cuff 
  • Four Cuff with Toe
• 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
• ABI Exercise Exams – Vascular exercise exams. Useful for pseudo claudication if the patient has PAD symptoms but the resting ABI is normal or questionable.
  • ABI with Exercise – Single level exam performed pre and post exercise. Can be done with provocative maneuvers or treadmill protocol. Meets requirements for CPT code 93923.
  • ABI Stress with Treadmill – Single level exam performed pre and post exercise. When used with the specified treadmill protocol meets equipment requirements for CPT code 93924.

Newman Medical simpleABI Automated System ABI-600CL

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.

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.   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.

Cuffs

The simpleABI 600CL 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

Computer (optional)

The computer currently supplied as an optional component of the simpleABI system is a robust netbook computer.

• Operating system: Windows 10
• 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.

Stand

The optional sturdy steel rolling stand for the simpleABI systems includes:

• A wide five legged anti-tip base
• A mounting plate for the computer and Cuff-link
• Hooks on the mounting plate for storing the hoses
• A basket for storing cuffs, gel, etc.
