The TBL-ABI is indicated for use on adult subjects at risk of having or developing peripheral arterial disease (PAD). TBL-ABI is intended for the rapid measurement of ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI), or ankle-brachial index (ABI), and pulse volume recording (PVR) / volume plethysmography in adults. It is suitable for use in wound care assessment, for assessing symptomatic PAD, and as a screening device for PAD. It may also be used on patients with venous or arterial ulcers prior to the application of compression therapy. TBL-ABI can be used on patients with unilateral lower limb amputation.
An electrically-powered device designed to noninvasively measure blood pressure using a manually-inflated cuff that typically fits around a limb (arm or thigh). It typically displays current heart rate and mean arterial pressure in addition to systolic and diastolic blood pressures; it may have memory to store blood pressure values and may sound an alarm if blood pressure exceeds pre-set limits. This device is not designed to be portable and is typically used bedside.
