Take your diagnosis one step further!

As a general recommendation all stages of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) should be verified and confirmed using objective tests such as ankle/brachial index (ABI), toe pressures, tcpO2 and microcirculatory evaluations.(TASC II)

Combining different technologies in the same modular solution and software, the Vascular Lab - 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.
 

All diabetic patients with an ulceration should be evaluated for PAD using objective tests.
Recommendation 18. (TASC II)

Critical Limb Ischemia is a clinical diagnosis but should be supported by objective tests.
Recommendation 19. (TASC II)

 

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)
