Newman Medical: ABI-Q System (We offer in-person or remote Zoom demonstrations for ABI Systems)
Newman Medical ABI-Q System — Fast, Affordable PAD Screening Without Doppler
In-person and remote Zoom demonstrations available — contact us to schedule yours today.
The Newman Medical ABI-Q System introduces the simplest and fastest approach to Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) screening available today — requiring only ankle PVR cuffs, no Doppler device, and no vascular expertise. Affordable enough to be part of a routine vital signs procedure, the ABI-Q delivers results and a full report in seconds, making PAD screening accessible in virtually any clinical setting.
How the ABI-Q Works
The ABI-Q is based on Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) waveforms — a staple of vascular testing for over 30 years. Rather than relying on subjective waveform interpretation, the ABI-Q digitizes the waveform and calculates a precise numerical index for objective, reliable results. Recent studies have shown that PVR waveform analysis can achieve 97% accuracy compared to ultrasound duplex scanning. In extensive testing, the ABI-Q was found to be 94% accurate in identifying patients with PAD or at risk of developing PAD.
ABI-Q Index Results:
- >1.0 — Normal
- 0.91–0.99 — Borderline
- <0.90 — At risk for PAD
A Key Advantage for Diabetic & Calcified Artery Patients
Many patients — especially those with diabetes — have calcified, incompressible arteries that can produce inaccurate standard ABI pressure readings. Because the ABI-Q measures PVR waveforms rather than pressures, it is not affected by arterial calcification, making it a more reliable screening tool for this high-risk population.
Two Versions Available:
- Standalone PC-Based System — Complete simpleABI-Q system for independent PAD screening
- ABI-Q Report Add-On — Additional test and report added to existing Cuff-Link systems
Included with the ABI-Q System:
- Computer with simpleABI Software
- PVR unit
- 2x10cm ankle cuffs
- Inflation bulb
- Carry bag
- User manual
- Quick reference guides
Key Features:
- No Doppler required — ankle PVR cuffs only
- Results and full report generated in seconds
- Minimal training — no vascular expertise needed
- Less sensitive to operator error than standard ABI testing
- Ideal for diabetic patients and those with calcified/incompressible arteries
- 94% accuracy in identifying PAD and at-risk patients
- Simple enough to incorporate into routine vital signs procedures
- Available as a standalone system or an add-on to existing Cuff-Link systems
Demonstration Available: We offer both in-person and remote Zoom demonstrations for the ABI-Q System. Contact us to schedule a demo and discover how the ABI-Q can transform PAD screening in your practice.
