Description

The Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe (#EZ8XS-USA) has been designed using innovative technology to produce a distinctly wide beam which completely encompasses the vessel of interest. The high sensitivity, interchangeable probe is superb for easier vessel location, helps to maintain vessel contact during cuff inflation and deflation procedures, and assists in reducing variability in ABPI measurements. The approximate distance of peak sensitivity is 15 mm and the probe tip is 12 mm x 8 mm.

Warranty: 1 Year.

The probe is recommended if regular and oedematous limbs are assessed for ABPI. It connects to Dopplex D900, DMX, and SD2 vascular Dopplers. It can also be found as a component of the Dopplex Ankle Toe Pressure (ATP) Kit (#ATP-USA) and Dopplex Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) Kit (#ABI-USA).

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of the wide beam technology?

The 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is specifically engineered to enhance diagnostic coverage and simplify complex vascular assessments, particularly the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI).

Key benefits of this wide beam technology include:

  • Easier Vessel Localization: The distinctly wide beam profile fully encompasses the vessel of interest, making it significantly easier and faster to locate the target vessel.
  • Improved ABPI Accuracy: The high sensitivity helps maintain consistent vessel contact during cuff inflation and deflation procedures, which reduces variability in ABPI measurements.
  • Assessment of Challenging Limbs: It is highly recommended for accurate assessment of both regular and oedematous limbs (limbs with swelling).
  • Optimal Performance: The probe offers high sensitivity, with a peak sensitivity distance of approximately 15 mm from the probe tip.
Which Dopplex devices are compatible with this vascular probe?

The Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is compatible with Dopplex D900, DMX, and SD2 vascular Dopplers, providing versatile use for various vascular assessments.

What are the probe tip dimensions and peak sensitivity distance?

The Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe features precise specifications designed to maximize accuracy and ease of use during vascular assessment:

  • Probe Tip Dimensions: The physical dimensions of the active transducer tip measure 12 mm x 8 mm.
  • Peak Sensitivity Distance: The probe achieves its highest performance sensitivity at approximately 15 mm from the tip.

These exact specifications, combined with the unique wide beam technology, ensure easier vessel location and help clinicians maintain consistent contact throughout cuff procedures, significantly reducing variability in critical ABPI (Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index) measurements.

Does the wide beam reduce ABPI variability?

Yes, the Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is specifically designed to significantly improve procedural stability and reduce variability in Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) measurements.

This high-sensitivity probe achieves accuracy through several mechanisms:

  • Vessel Encompassment: The unique wide beam characteristic is engineered to fully encompass the target vessel, which vastly simplifies vessel location and ensures optimal signal acquisition.
  • Procedural Stability: The probe’s high sensitivity helps clinicians maintain consistent vessel contact even during the critical and potentially disruptive steps of blood pressure cuff inflation and deflation.
  • Broad Application: Its superior performance is recommended for accurate ABPI assessment on both regular and oedematous limbs, helping to minimize measurement inconsistencies across various patient conditions.
Is the probe highly accurate for ABPI measurements?

Yes, the Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is specifically engineered to reduce variability and significantly enhance accuracy during Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) measurements. Its design focuses on achieving consistent and dependable results.

This high level of accuracy is achieved through several key features:

  • Wide Beam Technology: The probe generates a distinctly wide acoustic beam that completely encompasses the vessel of interest, simplifying vessel location and improving overall coverage.
  • Procedural Stability: The design aids clinicians in maintaining consistent vessel contact throughout the ABPI procedure, especially during cuff inflation and deflation cycles.
  • Reduced Variability: By ensuring stable signal acquisition, the probe minimizes variations in readings, leading to more precise results.

This probe is clinically recommended for assessing ABPI on both regular and oedematous limbs.

Does the probe maintain vessel contact?

Yes, the Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is specifically designed to help maintain vessel contact during both cuff inflation and deflation procedures. This feature is crucial for achieving consistent and accurate Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) measurements.

Does the wide beam technology ease vessel location?

Yes, the Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is specifically designed for high sensitivity and comprehensive vessel coverage, significantly enhancing the ease of location and assessment.

Key benefits related to vessel location and stability include:

  • Superior Sensitivity: The high-sensitivity design, operating at an 8 MHz frequency, makes it superb for achieving easier vessel location during examinations.
  • Complete Vessel Coverage: The distinctly wide beam ensures the ultrasound signal fully encompasses the vessel of interest, reducing the need for precise placement.
  • Procedural Stability: This design aids in maintaining consistent vessel contact, which is critical for reducing measurement variability, particularly during cuff inflation and deflation stages of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) procedures.

The probe is clinically recommended for assessing ABPI on both regular and oedematous limbs, where identifying and tracking vessels can often be more difficult.

What are the probe tip dimensions?

The probe tip dimensions are 12 mm x 8 mm.

This size is engineered to accommodate the probe’s innovative wide acoustic beam, which is designed for comprehensive vessel coverage. The high sensitivity of the probe helps ensure diagnostic accuracy. The peak sensitivity (strongest signal detection) for this wide beam is approximately 15 mm from the probe face.

Is this probe ideal for accurate ABPI measurements?

Yes, the Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is specifically recommended for vascular assessment procedures, particularly for calculating the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI).

This probe is engineered to enhance the accuracy and consistency of these critical measurements:

  • Reduces Variability: It aids in maintaining consistent vessel contact throughout the challenging steps of cuff inflation and deflation, thereby reducing variability in results.
  • Easier Location: The innovative wide beam technology generates a distinctly wide acoustic beam that fully encompasses the vessel, making location easier and more reliable.
  • Broad Application: It is recommended for assessing ABPI on both regular limbs and challenging oedematous limbs.
Does this probe work for oedematous limbs?

Yes, the Huntleigh 8 MHz Wide Beam Vascular Probe is specifically recommended for assessing ABPI on both regular and oedematous limbs, ensuring accurate measurements in various patient conditions.
