Newman ABI 400CL/450CL Automated Cuff-Link Single-Level Vascular W/Roll Stand
Automated system for single-level studies. The 450CL also offers single-level W/ exercise studies.
Newman Medical's PC-based simpleABI systems are designed to quickly and easily produce the results you need for the diagnosis of lower extremity peripheral artery disease. These systems not only save time in the exam but their simplicity reduces staff training and re-training time. They produce accurate full-page reports with the documentation needed for reimbursement.
simpleABI systems lead you through the exam by observing the report coming together on the large computer screen-no need to memorize complex menus or protocols. Since the report is created on the computer, no secondary downloading steps are necessary for storing, printing, or sharing the results.
Cuff-Link Main Control
The cuff-Link main control unit is, quite simply, an integrated speed machine
- A 4-port cuff selector
- Interchangeable Doppler probes
- Pressure sensors
- A pump
- Control software
All of that integration makes exams easier and faster to perform while also reducing costly errors.
Cuff-Link Remote
The Cuff-link remote allows the user to step through the exam with remote push-button simplicity
- 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
Powerful yet simpleABI software saves you time and is what sets the simpleABI systems apart. The software is an integrated part of the system; no separate downloading of the data is needed.
- Automatic index calculations, avoiding potential errors
- Automatically stores each exam with a 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
The software provides a complete set of tests and reports for lower extremity arterial evaluation. The tests that can be done with the simpleABI include:
- Single-Level Exams - Single-level exams for diagnosing obstruction. Can be done using Doppler or PPG as a 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
- The 450CL will also do Exercise Exams described below
ABI With Exercise - Single-level exam performed pre and post-exercise. It 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
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.
Our unique magnetic probe holder won't crack or break and gently cradles the probe when not being used. The open design avoids gathering dirt, gel, and germs.
The Cuff-link speaker is a powerful high-fidelity speaker that has an extraordinarily smooth and rich response over the whole range of Doppler sounds
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.
- 5 Mhz probes provide excellent deep penetration for deeper arteries like the femoral, popliteal and brachial, and for deep veins
- 8 MHz probes are especially sensitive for vessels near the surface like the radial, posterior tibial, and dorsalis padis arteries.
- Audio PPG probe. The DigiDop family of vascular probes also includes a unique PPG probe that generates audible sounds with each pulse. It is an excellent addition for obtaining pulses in the digits to assist in a toe-brachial index or penile index measurements.
- The simpleABI comes with 8 MHz and PPG probes; The 5 MHZ is optional.
Cuffs
The simpleABI 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
- 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.
- Windows 10 operating system
- 11.6-inch diagonal screen
- 4 GM memory
- 500 GM HDD
- Wireless/Bluetooth capability
- 6 to 8-hour battery
These specifications are subject to change as computers change rapidly.
Stand
The 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.
