Arjo Inc. Arjo Intraoperative Probe

Yes, the Arjo Intraoperative Probe is specifically designed to provide immediate confirmation of successful blood flow right after vascular reconstructive procedures. This rapid verification is essential for patient safety and minimizing surgical risks.

Key features regarding confirmation:

• Critical Risk Mitigation: Confirmation occurs before surgical closure, significantly reducing the potential need for surgical re-exploration due to undetected flow issues.
• Reliable Detection: The probe operates at a high 8MHz frequency, allowing reliable flow detection in both native vessels and certain prosthetic grafts.
• Feedback: It provides immediate audible confirmation of blood flow. Visual and hardcopy confirmation of bi-directional waveform printing are also available when connected to compatible Dopplex systems (such as the Multi Dopplex II).

Yes, the Arjo Intraoperative Probe utilizes an operational frequency of 8MHz.

This specific frequency is engineered to ensure reliable detection of blood flow immediately following vascular reconstructive procedures, successfully providing confirmation across both:

• Native blood vessels
• Certain prosthetic grafts

The Arjo Intraoperative Probe is designed for maximum clinical readiness and is compatible with two robust, industry-standard sterilization methods:

• Autoclave: Standard high-heat steam sterilization.
• Ethylene Oxide (EO): Low-temperature chemical sterilization.

This versatility ensures the probe can be easily integrated into standard surgical protocols following vascular reconstructive procedures.

Yes, the Arjo Intraoperative Probe is specifically designed for seamless compatibility with Dopplex® systems, requiring a separate main unit and adaptor for operation.

Key Compatibility Features

• Universal Connection: The probe connects to any Vascular Dopplex Advanced Pocket Doppler system using a specialized electronic adaptor.
• Diathermy Interference Resistance: A crucial feature is the electronic adaptor’s ability to resist diathermy interference, ensuring reliable and clear signal quality during surgical procedures where interference is common.
• Required Components: Operation requires both a Dopplex main unit and a dedicated adaptor (sold separately, unless purchased in a starter kit).

System Specifics & Advanced Reporting

The type of feedback available depends on your connected Dopplex system:

• Starter Pack Adaptor (PA8XS): If using the PA8XS adaptor included in the starter pack, it is compatible specifically with the SD2 and D900 Dopplex models.
• Bi-directional Waveform Printing: When the probe is used with the Multi Dopplex II, Dopplex Printa II, or Dopplex Reporter software package, you can achieve visual and hardcopy confirmation, including bi-directional velocity waveform printouts.

Yes, the Arjo Intraoperative Probe is specifically designed to provide immediate confirmation of successful blood flow after vascular procedures, which is crucial for minimizing post-operative complications. The probe offers the following feedback:

• Audible Confirmation: It delivers instant, high-quality audible confirmation of blood flow, allowing surgeons to verify vascular patency quickly before surgical closure.
• Frequency: The probe operates at a reliable 8MHz frequency, which is ideal for dependable flow detection in native vessels and select prosthetic grafts.
• Additional Feedback: Depending on the specific Dopplex system it is connected to (e.g., Multi Dopplex II), visual feedback and hardcopy bi-directional velocity waveform printouts may also be supported.

Yes, the Arjo Intraoperative Probe is designed with built-in resistance to interference. It utilizes a special electronic adaptor specifically engineered to resist diathermy interference.

This crucial feature maintains signal integrity and ensures reliable, stable operation when the probe is connected to any compatible Vascular Dopplex Advanced Pocket Doppler system, providing accurate confirmation of blood flow during procedures.

The Probe Starter Pack provides all the essential components needed to use the single-use intraoperative probes with compatible Dopplex systems.

The pack includes:

• A box of Ten (10) Sterile Single-Use Intraoperative Probes.
• The PA8XS Probe Adapter.
• An IV Pole Clamp.

Please Note: The PA8XS Probe Adapter and IV Pole Clamp included in this starter pack are compatible only with the SD2 and D900 Dopplex main units.

Yes, the Arjo Intraoperative Probe is capable of generating bi-directional velocity waveform printouts, which provides advanced reporting capabilities during vascular verification.

To utilize this functionality, the probe must be integrated with specific components of the Dopplex system:

• The Multi Dopplex II main unit.
• Either the Dopplex Printa II hardware or the Dopplex Reporter software package.

The Arjo Intraoperative Probe is not a standalone device and requires compatible Dopplex equipment for operation.

Required Components

To utilize the probe effectively, you must connect it to the following components (not included with the probe alone):

• A Dopplex main unit (the probe connects to any Vascular Dopplex Advanced Pocket Doppler).
• A compatible Adaptor (a specialized electronic adaptor is required for connection and resistance to diathermy interference).

Important Note on Variants:
If you purchase the Probe Starter Pack, the included PA8XS Probe Adapter is only compatible with the SD2 and D900 Dopplers.

Advanced Reporting Capabilities

To enable advanced data output, such as bi-directional velocity waveform printing, the probe must be used in conjunction with the Multi Dopplex II system and either the Dopplex Printa II or the Dopplex Reporter software package.

Yes, the Arjo Intraoperative Probe is specifically engineered for reliable confirmation of blood flow immediately following vascular reconstructive procedures. This reliability is based on several key features:

• Optimal 8MHz Frequency: This frequency is suitable for dependable flow detection in both native vessels and select prosthetic grafts.
• Diathermy Resistance: A specialized electronic adaptor resists diathermy interference, ensuring clear and reliable signal transmission when connected to any Vascular Dopplex Advanced Pocket Doppler.
• Post-Procedure Confirmation: Provides critical verification of vascular patency before surgical closure, which helps minimize post-operative complications.

Flow confirmation is provided audibly, with visual and hardcopy confirmation capabilities depending on the specific Dopplex system utilized.
