Newman Medical ABI-Q System

Yes, the Newman Medical ABI-Q System is an all-in-one solution specifically designed for routine and convenient in-office screening for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

Its integrated design streamlines the clinical workflow by:

• Eliminating External Referrals: Allows for PAD screening directly within your practice.
• Comprehensive Kit: Supplied complete with a dedicated computer, simpleABI/PVR software, and two EZ-Clean vascular cuffs (2x10cm) with an inflator.
• Automated Reporting: Generates detailed, professional reports covering test results, risk factors, symptoms, and relevant ICD codes for efficient record-keeping.
• Robust Testing: The system is engineered to reduce susceptibility to operator error and artifacts caused by severe arterial calcification, which is common in diabetic patients.

The Newman Medical ABI-Q System is delivered as a complete, all-in-one kit specifically engineered for streamlined, in-office Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) testing. It includes all necessary hardware and proprietary software for immediate use and automated reporting:

• Dedicated Computer: The optimized hardware unit for running diagnostics.
• ABI-Q Software Suite: Includes simpleABI and PVR (Plethysmography) capability, essential for performing tests and generating comprehensive reports (including risk factors and ICD codes).
• Two EZ-Clean Vascular Cuffs (10cm): Specialized cuffs required for taking ankle measurements.
• Inflation Bulb
• User Manual and Quick Reference Guides

Yes, the ABI-Q System utilizes its proprietary software to automatically generate comprehensive, detailed reports for every Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) test. This key feature is designed to simplify documentation and record-keeping for clinical settings.

The comprehensive report includes critical information necessary for assessment and diagnosis:

• Test Results: Specific outcomes from the PVR (Pulse Volume Recording) measurement.
• Identified Risk Factors: Details regarding the patient’s associated health risk factors.
• Current Symptoms: Documentation of any observed or reported symptoms.
• ICD Codes: Necessary diagnostic codes for immediate documentation and record integration.

Yes, the Newman Medical ABI-Q System uses Photoplethysmography (PVR), also known as Pulse Volume Recording, to accurately measure and diagnose Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

This method offers enhanced reliability and consistency during testing:

• Accuracy: It provides precise PVR measurement and analysis capabilities.
• Resilience: The system is designed to provide accurate results even when facing common variances, such as operator error, cold appendage temperatures, or the presence of calcified arteries often found in diabetic patients.
• Detailed Reporting: The software automatically incorporates PVR results into a comprehensive report along with patient risk factors and ICD codes.

Yes, a major advantage of the ABI-Q System is its robustness against common confounding variables, which ensures high measurement reliability.

The system is specifically engineered to be less susceptible to factors that often compromise traditional test results:

• Calcified Arteries: It effectively mitigates artifacts caused by severely calcified arteries, which are frequently found in diabetic patients.
• Cold Appendages: It maintains accuracy even when appendage temperatures are low.
• Operator Error: The design is also inherently less prone to inconsistencies caused by user error.

This built-in resilience ensures consistent and reliable Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) measurements across diverse patient populations.

Yes, the Newman Medical ABI-Q System is designed for convenient in-office use with substantial battery life. It provides up to 10 hours of operation on a single charge. This capacity ensures that medical professionals can perform numerous peripheral artery disease (PAD) screenings throughout the day without interruption for recharging.

To ensure the Newman Medical ABI-Q System operates accurately and reliably for PAD testing, it should be used within the following specified environmental conditions:

• Operating Temperature: 50° to 104° F (10° to 40° C)
• Operating Humidity: 30% to 75%

The Newman Medical ABI-Q System includes EZ-Clean vascular cuffs. These cuffs are made of a durable, wipeable fabric for easy cleaning and hygiene between patients.

Yes, the ABI-Q System is designed for portability and streamlined in-office use. The complete system package is lightweight, weighing only 6.0 pounds (2.75 kg).

Yes, the Newman Medical ABI-Q System’s Country of Origin is the USA. This ensures that the system meets rigorous quality and safety standards for in-office diagnostic testing.
