Dopplex Ability requires minimal training and provides rapid bilateral ABI measurements in just 3 minutes. Its portability enables measurements to be made more efficiently in the primary care clinic, hospital or patient’s home. This can lead to the prioritisation of clinical services by improving clinical pathways.

Simultaneous Arm Pressures
The Dopplex Ability is also superior to other ABI automated systems as it measures the blood pressures in both arms before utilising the higher pressure to calculate the ABI. This complies with current guidelines for ABI measurement and calculation published by NICE, ESC, TASC2 and AHA. Automated systems which measure the pressure in one arm only, may miss or incorrectly classify cases of PAD.
