ABI-Q System

Newman Medical: ABI-Q System (We offer in-person or remote Zoom demonstrations for ABI Systems)


This unit does not obtain blood pressures, only PVR waveforms at the ankles. The ABI-Q study is the simplest and fastest test to identify patients with peripheral arterial disease and is extremely affordable.   

• A new test for PAD that is easier and faster than any other
• Requires only the ankle PVR cuffs – no Doppler
• Two versions:
  • A stand-alone PC based system (simple ABI-Q)
  • An additional test/report added to Cuff-Link systems (ABI-Q report)

How does the ABI-Q work?
The ABI-Q is based on our PVR waveforms. The PVR has been a staple of vascular testing for over 30 years. Recent studies have shown that it can have 97% accuracy compared to ultrasound duplex scanning. Recognizing that interpreting a waveform can be subjective, we digitize the waveform and calculate a numerical index similar to (but not identical to) the standard ABI:

In extensive testing the ABI-Q was found to be 94% accurate in identifying patients with PAD or at risk of developing PAD.
