Ankle Brachial Index/ Tbl-abi Model C001

  • The TBL-ABI system is indicated for use on adult subjects at risk of having or developing peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
  • TBL-ABI system is intended for the rapid measurement of ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI), or ankle-brachial index (ABI), and pulse volume recording (PVR)/ volume plethysmography in adults.
  • It is suitable for use in wound care assessment, for assessing symptomatic PAD, and as a screening device for PAD. It may also be used on patients with venous or arterial ulcers prior to the application of compression therapy.
  • The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the systolic blood pressure measured at the ankle to that measured at the brachial artery.

VASCULAR FUNCTION ASSESSMENT

Originally described by Winsor in 1950, the ABI was initially proposed for the noninvasive diagnosis of lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). Later, it was shown that the ABI is an indicator of atherosclerosis at other vascular sites and can serve as a prognostic marker for cardiovascular events and functional impairment, even in the absence of symptoms of PAD

AVANTAGES OF TBL-ABI

ANKLE BRACHIAL INDEX ALGORITHM

The ABI measurement is based on the ratio of the lowest ankle blood pressures divided by the highest arm blood pressure. Recent studies suggest the use of low ankle pressure ABI as the method for calculating the ABI due to its better sensitivity. It is simply a mathematical division based on the accuracy of the blood pressure measurements. TBL-ABI complies with the procedure for measuring the ABI with 2 blood pressure measurements at each ankle (dorsalis pedis and tibial artery) and measurements at the right and left arm.

Fast exam: The TBL-ABI measurement time is only 3 minutes.​
