boso ABI System 100

Delivery Contents: 1 boso ABI system, additional pulse wave velocity tool (PWV) (optional), 2 upper arm cuffs type CA04, 2 ankle cuffs type CL04, 1 boso Profile Manager XD (ABI software), 1 USB cable (3m), 1 power supply unit, 1 instruction manual for the ABI system 100, 1 instruction manual for the boso Profile Manager, 1 warranty certificate

By measuring the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), peripheral arterial occlusive disease can be identified at an early stage with a high level of accuracy. The boso ABI system 100 determines this important value quickly, precisely and reliably - without use of a Doppler. Measurement with the boso ABI system is particularly conclusive as the readings are taken on all four limbs simultaneously - effectively ruling out the risk of incorrect readings due to blood pressure variability. Consequently the reproducibility of the ABI-readings is improved.

The ABI System 100 is also available with an optional measuring function to determine the pulse wave velocity (PWV). This measures arterial stiffness. The higher the pulse wave velocity, the stiffer the vessel wall.

Measuring with the boso ABI System 100:

Measuring the ankle-brachial index with the boso ABI System 100 is extremely easy and takes only minutes. The four blood pressure cuffs are applied to the patient's upper arms and lower legs. Care must be taken to ensure that the patient's clothing does not constrict the arms or legs. Any tight items of clothing that could impair the reading should be removed beforehand. The patient should lie quietly without talking during the reading. Examination with the boso ABI System 100 only takes about 1 minute, and is no more unpleasant for the patient than a conventional blood pressure reading.

 

Afterwards, the ABI system transmits the figures to a PC via a USB interface, where the application software (included in delivery) automatically calculates the ankle-brachial index (ABI). The values for the left and right sides of the body are provided separately, and rated using a traffic light system (green, amber, red). In addition to the ankle-brachial index, the boso ABI software also provides other important values such as the individual blood pressure figures, differences in blood pressure between the two sides of the body, pulse, pulse pressure and indications of possible cardiac arrhythmia disorders.

 

The ABI Software at a glance:

• Critical values are highlighted in a different colour
• Database with patient management
• Graphic readings display
• GDT interface to transfer to the practice computer system
