Product catalog summary
Introduction: The document introduces the boso ABI-system, a tool for measuring the ankle-brachial index (ABI) to screen for peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD), a significant risk marker for heart attack and stroke. The system is designed for use in primary care settings, offering a quick and reliable method for early detection of PAOD, even in asymptomatic patients.
Specifications: The boso ABI-system 100 measures ABI using an oscillometric method, which is faster and more accurate than the traditional Doppler ultrasound method. It measures blood pressure in all four limbs simultaneously, reducing time and improving accuracy. The system includes a measuring device, arm and leg cuffs, a power pack, a USB connection cable, and software for data management.
Procedures: The ABI measurement with the boso system takes approximately one minute and can be performed by healthcare staff without special training. The system also offers optional pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement to assess arterial stiffness, providing additional cardiovascular risk information.
Clinical Validation: The boso ABI-system has been clinically validated and shown to be superior to Doppler-assisted ABI measurement. The system's accuracy and efficiency make it suitable for routine checks and early detection of PAOD.
Software and Data Management: The system includes software that automatically assesses ABI and other cardiovascular parameters, such as blood pressure differences, pulse, and potential arrhythmias. Data can be transferred to a doctor's system via a GDT interface.
Relevance and Recommendations: The document emphasizes the importance of early detection of PAOD, especially in high-risk groups like smokers, diabetics, and the elderly. The boso ABI-system is recommended for routine use in primary care to improve cardiovascular diagnosis and management.
Conclusion: The boso ABI-system offers a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for PAOD screening and cardiovascular risk assessment, enhancing patient care in clinical settings.

boso ABI-system 100 PAOD-Screening with the boso ABI-system. The new standard for primary care. The ankle brachial index is the best predictor of heart attack, stroke and mortality. The measurement of the ankle-brachial index with the boso ABI-system takes 1 minute and also discovers asymptomatic patients. Reliable and simple – so it can easily be delegated to employees. An ABI reading of < 0.9, compared with the angiogram as the gold standard, has a sensitivity of up to 95 % in identifying PAOD, and conversely rules out this condition in healthy people with a specificity of almost 100 %.¹ The...

boso ABI-system 100 The boso ABI-system 100 Outstanding: The boso ABI-system. The patented boso ABI-system offers many benefits for doctors and patients compared to the previous Doppler ultrasound method. Early detection and routine check In the past, tests were only carried out in cases of suspected disease, because the test was time-consuming and expensive. In addition, PAOD often was not detected early enough as it does not cause any symptoms for a long time. The boso ABI-system is an innovative and rapid way of measuring the ankle-brachial index (ABI). This allows to carry out this test on...

boso ABI-system 100 Informative: The assessment. Blood pressure Oscillation profile The sophisticated software accurately calculates the ABI both on the left and on the right side. Pulse pressure Other important cardiovascular parameters are also measured, such as individual blood pressure readings in arms and legs, differences in blood pressure on different sides of the body (subclavian artery stenosis), pulse, pulse pressure, oscillation profile and pointers to possible cardiac dysrhythmia disorders. This information is easily identifiable as all critical values are highlighted in a different...

Pulse wave velocity. For a better management of patients with hypertension, tests for arterial stiffness provide additional information about the cardiovascular risk. The recent guidelines published by the Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an additional tool to diagnose PAOD and to measure arterial stiffness.
