VANMAX VANTAGE ABI SYSTEM REVIEW
When Summit Doppler had released their Vantage ABI System, they had done so in order to provide a simple ABI machine that can perform three-minute ABI tests for the identification of atherosclerosis in patients. At that same time, they had also released what they called their VANMAX Vantage ABI System.
This is what you might call the ‘Premium’ version of the regular Vantage ABI, as it provides a significant number of extra features that make it stand-over its more basic counterpart. Of course, because of that, it is also far more expensive.
Features
With the VANMAX Vantage ABI Package, you’re looking at everything that you get with the regular Vantage ABI System, and then some. That includes the following and more.
Tests Performed
With the VANMAX Vantage ABI System, you get an automated ABI testing machine that uses technology that was created in a cooperation between the Cleveland Clinic and Summit Doppler. This technology allows for the instant calculation of ABI and can identify atherosclerotic patients in just three minutes!
Most of the operation is dependent on the software used in the main operating unit. Which handles the auto-inflation and auto-deflation of the blood pressure cuffs. Recorded PVR waveforms are then calculated automatically as well and can be printed off for later review.

As mentioned, a lot is reliant on the software provided. The software is in charge of automatically deflating and inflating the blood pressure cuffs, analyzing the results, and then producing a report within three minutes.

It’s a very sophisticated DFO waveform analyzing machine, and it is significantly more efficient than most of the other available ABI machines out there. Especially those that use the more outdated form of testing ABI with Ultrasound dopplers and the like. In that sense, it is already leagues above its current competition.
