BlueDop Cuffless Lower Limb Screening – Fast, Painless, Accurate

There's an easier, more accurate way to detect vascular disease

The BlueDop ABIm Vascular System removes the need for a cuff on lower limbs so clinicians can get ABIm reading in a fraction of the time and with greater accuracy.

This reimagined method for performing critical ABIms within various clinics such as Wound Specialist clinics, Podiatry clinics, Tissue Viability clinics, and Doctor Surgeries, will improve streamlining patient pathways and positive patient outcomes.

Say goodbye to calf cuffs.

Millions of people suffer from vascular disease and that number is rising. Historically, diagnosis is complicated and inaccurate. In a conventional ABI test, a blood pressure reading is required from two arteries in the ankle. Conventional ABIs are time consuming and inaccurate due to the fact that up to 30% of patients are diabetic and don't respond to blood pressure cuffs due to ulceration and incompressible arteries.

Save time in your assessments

BlueDop is designed with the busy healthcare professional in mind. Your patients can be assessed straight away, without the need to rest first, and typically takes only 5 minutes.

Features

• Low user skill level
• Easy to carry around for domiciliary visits
• High level of accuracy
• No Pain on assessment or risk of infection
• Unaffected by Calcification of arteries or Oedema
• No rest needed prior to assessment

Fast

The tablet gives the end user the ABPIm, perfusion pressure at the ankle, and a colour-coded assessment of the waveform indicating the presence or absence of significant arterial occlusive disease, all in under 5 minutes* for all four vessels (Dorsal Pedus and Posterior Tibial on each limb).

Cuffless

With the rise in diabetes, renal failure, and venous disease, assessing lower extremity blood flow with any cuffed system presents challenges. Up to 30% of the high-risk patients have either calcified vessels or severe lower extremity oedema, making assessment systems less accurate or unable to produce a reading. BlueDop captures and processes the waveform from a wireless Doppler probe without using painful ankle cuffs.

Accurate

To improve accuracy, it is common to add waveforms requiring a vascular specialist to interpret. BlueDop does this in an easy-to-interpret device without the need for an onward referral. BlueDop uses both systolic and diastolic blood pressures and applies proprietary algorithms to calculate mean ABPI, which with traditional methods is simply not practical. BlueDop’s pivotal trial evaluated 276 limbs with a sensitivity rate (True Positive) of 95% and a specificity rate of 90% (False Positive), and an overall accuracy rate of 92%.**

* Following installation training and completion of 10-20 studies, most clinicians can perform an assessment within five minutes per patient.

What Sets BlueDop Apart?

BlueDop assesses both the Dorsalis Pedis and the Posterior Tibial arteries to give the clinician an ABIm and a waveform assessment to stratify patient’s lower extremity blood flow.

BlueDop simplifies this into an easy to understand colour coded report: No/mild, moderate, or severe disease. Due to BlueDop’s revolutionary Technology, an assessment is now not limited by lower extremity oedema, open painful wounds, or calcified blood vessels. And because there is no cuff needed on the patient’s ankle, the assessment is pain-free.

Additionally, because BlueDop doesn’t require a rest period and takes less than 5-minutes to perform, assessing the blood flow to a patient’s lower extremity can now be part of the initial encounter vital signs.

Especially beneficial for patients suffering from:

• Diabetics
• Pressure Ulcers
• Renal Impairment
• Venus Leg Ulceration
• Arterial Leg Ulceration
• Mixed Aetiology Leg Ulceration

Unlike other systems, BlueDop is a Class IIa Medical Device compliant with MHRA (UK), MDR (EU) and Australia markets.

What you get with BlueDop

BlueDop Medical and its proprietary Vascular Expert software provide health care providers with useful, actionable information. The system provides an ABIm and a Doppler waveform, a physiologic response to blood flow. But BlueDop Medical takes it even further by giving you insight into the patient's vascular health. 

The BlueDop system includes a battery-powered tablet, a lightweight, wireless, bi-directional Doppler probe, and a charging base for the BlueDop Probe.
