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.

What are the advantages of measuring with the boso ABI System 100 compared to measurement with a Doppler?
Measurement with the ABI system from boso offers particularly high accuracy and reproducibility, as the measurements on the arms and legs are taken at the same time. This makes the blood pressure variability a negligible factor. Furthermore, the measurement with the ABI System 100 is so easy to carry out that it can even be delegated. This makes the measurement particularly economical since the doctor only needs to worry about evaluating the examination. In comparison to time consuming Doppler examinations, measurement with the ABI system is excellently suited as a screening process.
From which value is the Ankle-brachial index noteworthy and requiring of further treatment?
Normal values lie between 0.9 and 1.2. A basic rule of thumb is: the lower the value, the greater the risk. Although, further diagnostics and treatment should follow a considerably increased value (over 1.3).
Which system requirements does my PC need so that I can use it with the boso ABI System 100?
In addition to a graphics card, your PC requires a USB interface and 20MB of free hard drive space on a Microsoft Windows XP operating system or later.
