The dopplex® ABIlity offers a cost effective solution for the measurement of ABI while providing an immediate printout of results from the integral printer or optional DR4 software package.Based on volume plethysmography technology, which is superior to other automatic systems using the oscillometric method, the ABIlity is able to detect low ankle Pressures in as low as 55mmHg and ABIs as low as 0.29 (Lewis, 2014).

 

The dopplex® ABIlity also excels over other ABI automated systems as it measures the blood pressures in both arms, using the patented two chamber cuffs, before utilising the higher pressure to calculate the ABI. This complies with current guidelines for ABI measurement and calculation published by NICE, ESC, TASC2 and AHA while automated systems which measure the pressure in one arm only, may miss or incorrectly classify cases of PAD.
