Description
The Newman Medical simpleABI-Q screens for peripheral arterial disease in one to two minutes using pulse volume recording. No Doppler skill is required, so virtually any trained team member can run the exam. PVR reads volume changes in the limb, which keeps the test valid in diabetic patients whose calcified arteries defeat pressure-based screening.
- 1 to 2 minute exams – push-button rapid screening for high-volume settings
- Doppler-free PVR – no vascular training or Doppler signal needed
- Calcification-proof – works in patients with incompressible, calcified arteries
Rapid PAD Screening Without a Doppler
The ABI-Q is the screening front door of the simpleABI family: fast, repeatable and operator-independent. The simpleABI software calculates indices automatically, stores each exam with a time stamp, and produces reports that carry your logo and contact information. Drop-down ICD-10 codes and suggested CPT codes speed documentation, and reports export in PDF, TIFF, CSV, BMP and JPG formats, with DICOM integration available as an option. The package includes the simpleABI software, the PVR unit, two 10 cm cuffs, an inflation bulb, the user manual and quick reference guides, and a computer is supplied as a system component with the software loaded. Abnormal or borderline screens refer onward to Doppler-based confirmation on diagnostic simpleABI systems, the gold-standard pathway the AHA and ACC recognize. For diabetic foot clinics, primary care and community screening events, it turns PAD detection into a staff-driven routine.

Why Screening Programs Start with the ABI-Q
Most PAD is found late because diagnostic testing is slow and skill-bound. A two-minute Doppler-free screen lets a practice test broadly first, then spend diagnostic time only on the patients the screen flags.
- Throughput – one to two minute exams fit screening into routine visits
- Staff-driven – no Doppler expertise required to run the test
- Diabetic reach – PVR stays valid where calcified arteries block pressure methods
