Automatic Vascular Doppler

• A healthcare professional can identify the
  problematic valves using an Automatic Vascular
  Doppler with simple one-button operation.
• The device can be used to assess the valvular
  competency of the Vein. The study is completely
  safe and does not require injecting medicine or
  radiation into the body.
• The sonographer requests the patient to take
  particular positions and movements to examine the
  legs and measure the blood flow

How to use the Automatic Vascular Doppler for
Venous Reflux Study?

• The Photoplethysmography (PPG) Probe of the
  Doppler is placed in the Right/Left Great
  Saphenous vein at about four or five fingers
  distance above the ankle bone.
• The patient has to perform the tiptoe reflux for
  five times as we observe the venous refilling
  pattern.

The results of the test are evaluated as follows

• If the refilling or recovery time is more than 20
  seconds, it indicates good valvular competency of
  the vein to push the blood upwards.
• If the refilling or recovery time is between
  18-20 seconds, it is questionable and a repeat
  test is conducted.
• If the refilling or recovery time is less than 18
  seconds, there is a venous condition and may
  require Physician intervention.

Venous Reflux Study using the Automatic Vascular
Doppler

• A Vascular Doppler uses ultrasound waves to
  visualize the pattern of blood flow in your veins
  and arteries.
• Depending on the results of the vascular doppler,
  you can discuss your venous anatomy with a
  physician and understand treatment options in
  more detail.
