Take your diagnosis one step further!
The Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) (TASC II) is the most recent document describing key aspects of the diagnosis and management of PAD. As a general recommendation all stages of PAD should be verified and confirmed using objective tests such as ankle/brachial index (ABI), toe pressures, tcpO2 and microcirculatory evaluations.
Combining different technologies in the same modular solution and software, the PeriFlux System 5000 gives you the tools to perform most of these objective tests using the same equipment. This will streamline your clinical workflow and radically simplify learning.
One instrument, one software -
several objective tests for precise and reliable diagnosis of PAD

ABI values below 0.9 are indicative of PAD. Values above 1.40 should always be confirmed with toe pressure or other techniques. Diabetics and other patients with suspected calcified vessels should always be tested using toe pressures. Toe pressures below 0.7 are abnormal. (TASC II)

Values above 20 perfusion units during heating and an increase greater than 150% compared to the baseline value predict wound healing.
