Huntleigh is well-known for their ABI sets, and they don’t disappoint with the Dopplex MD200 Desktop Doppler. It’s not the most sophisticated ABI system, but it was created to be a very convenient solution for facilities looking for an ABI testing device that can be taken on-the-go and is cost-efficient enough to be handled as such.

Features
The Dopplex MD200 is a tabletop doppler system created for maximum portability. It can be set up anywhere and is capable of withstanding rough-handling thanks to the sturdy material that keeps it closed lidded – ensuring that the main system and its accessories are kept safe.
Tests Performed
As mentioned in the beginning, the Dopplex MD200 is not the most sophisticated. It’s capable of the most rudimentary test — a regular ABI exam with a bi-directional doppler, blood pressure cuffs, and a manual aneroid — but that is about it.
The calculation of ABI Index with this system is fully manual as well — as the DR4 software was really only built for the creation of reports (not the automatic analysis of results.) The most notable testing feature here is the fact that it allows for the interchangeability of probes.

The software compatible with the Dopplex MD200, the DR4 Software package, does not help with actual tests. However, it is helpful in the creation of reports (for analysis, documentation, etc.)

Because of its simple design, the Dopplex MD200 doesn’t rank very high when compared to other ABI devices in the industry. It certainly has its uses, but there are definitely other ABI machines out there that offer so much more — not just with testing capabilities but even just with general efficiency and intuitiveness.
