Body plethysmograph VasoScreen® 5000

impedancewith light reflection rheographywith venous occlusion

This device is designed for arterial and venous vascular diagnosis. Depending on the diagnostic needs it can be provided with channels for Impedance Plethysmography (IPG), Photo-Plethysmography (PPG) and/or Light-Reflection Rheography (LRR/D-PPG). In combination with the pneumatic module VasoScreen 4000 the system can be used to perform also venous Occlusion Plethysmography (VOP) and/or arterial Occlusion Plethysmography (AOP). The unit 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. APPLICATIONS/MODULES Impedance-Plethysmography (IPG) Pulse wave analysis in legs, arms and head to diagnose arteriosclerotic changes, stenoses or occlusions Photo-Plethysmography (PPG) Pulse wave analysis in fingers and toes to diagnose peripheral circulatory disturbances with regard to functional (Raynaud) or organic origin Arterial-Occlusion-Plethysmography (AOP) Measurement of arterial inflow in the legs after complete arterial occlusion (reactive hyperemia) to diagnose the severity of a peripheral arterial occlusive disease Venous-Occlusion-Plethysmography (VOP) Measurement of venous capacity and venous outflow to diagnose deep vein thromboses (DVP) or other outflow disturbances and to evaluate their haemodynamic severity Light-Reflection-Rheography (LRR) Measurement of refilling time after muscle pump test and evaluation of venous pump volume to diagnose function of venous valves and effectiveness of the venous muscle pump
