The InterCare Vascular Diagnostic Center (Model 300) is a mains electricity (AC-Powered) Vascular laboratory that integrates, into one device, various modules that provide indices of significance to peripheral vascular and cardiovascular function. These modules includes Patient Data, Framingham and BMI, ABIgram(tm) Ankle/Brachial Index, PADogram(tm) Segmental Pressure Analysis, Vasogram(tm) Arterial Compliance procedure and Endogram(tm) Endothelial dysfunction measurement (poor vasodilatory response) through the noninvasive measurement of arterial pulsatile volume changes in the arm of a patient during a reactive hyperemia test (occlusion of blood flow followed by abrupt release). InterCare Vascular Diagnostic Center Model 300 also offers administrative capabilities such as creating periodic system usage reports which show test dates, procedures performed, patient names and physician name. Physically, the system consists of hardware and electronics housed in a cart with four wheels. The device includes a computer board, pneumatic circuit, monitor, keyboard, joystick, printer, tubing, blood pressure cuffs, and power cord. It also incorporates Colin Medical Instruments' Oscillometric blood pressure module M1050, a standard high-end, off-the shelf-NIBP system which has passed UL and SP-10 testing.
An electrically-powered assembly of devices designed to assess peripheral artery endothelial dysfunction (poor vasodilatory response) and/or arterial stiffness through the noninvasive measurement of arterial pulsatile volume changes in the fingertip during a reactive hyperemia test (occlusion of blood flow followed by abrupt release). It typically includes a dedicated bio-sensor applied to a finger or arm and a computer/software-controlled device used to process, store, display, and help analyse peripheral arterial tone (PAT) data received from the sensor. Endothelial dysfunction is a recognized marker of sub-clinical arteriosclerosis which is used as a predictor of cardiovascular events.
