The dopplex ABIlity offers a cost effective solution for the measurement of ABI while providing an immediate printout of results from the integral printer of optional DR4 software package.

Based on volume plethysmography technology, which is superior to other automatic systems using the oscillometric method, the ABIlity is able to detect low ankle pressures in as low as 55mmHg and ABIs as low as 0.29 (Lewis, 2014).

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 blood 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.

Medical Features:

  • Ability
  • Fixing Plate
  • Pole Stand
  • Using Huntleigh dopplex ABIlity, rapid Bi-Lateral ABI measurements take less that 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 of having PAD. Testing them with dopplex ABIlity would have taken 25 hours in total vs 150 hours with the traditional method
  • Minimize training – one button push technology that is extremely easy to use
  • Improve the patient experience – easy to apply 4 cuff system that fits over tights or thin socks
  • Streamline documentation – instant hard copy provided for patient records or reimbursement

Our patented two chamber cuffs use duo sense pneumatic technology to measure systolic pressures and is based on volume plethysmography, not oscillometric techniques. One chamber is used to occlude the vessel, while the second distal chamber is used to sense the returning signals allowing four limbs to be measured simultaneously.
