The device is based on the Methods of Impedance Plethysmography (IPG) and can be used for arterial vascular diagnosis on arms, legs or the head.
The unit is USB powered and can be used only together with an external computer on which the Windows software Cardio-Vascular-Lab is installed. The selection of the computer depends on the given application and the environment in which the measuring system shall be used.
In combination with the pneumatic module VasoScreen 4000 it can be used to perform also venous Occlusion Plethysmography (VOP) and arterial Occlusion Plethysmography (AOP).
APPLICATIONS
pulse wave analysis in legs, arms and head to diagnose arteriosclerotic changes, stenoses or occlusions / IPG
measuring arterial inflow in the legs after complete arterial occlusion (reactive hyperemia) to diagnose the severity of a peripheral arterial occlusive disease / AVP
measurement of venous capacity and venous outflow to diagnose deep vein thromboses (DVP) or other outflow disturbances and to evaluate their haemodynamic severity / VVP
ESSENTIAL PRODUCT FEATURES
simultaneous measurement on both sides for fast diagnosis and side comparison
operator independent procedure which can be easily delegated
automated computer-controlled measuring procedure
computer assisted evaluation and classification of measuring results including side comparison
patient data base and capability for off-line data analysis
data export capability (GDT, PDF)
combination with other VasoScreen and CardioScreen devices is possible
