Simple ABI Kit with Manual Cuffs, manufactured by Newman Medical, is an ankle-brachial index (ABI) and vascular testing diagnostic system designed for single level ABI and toe-brachial index (TBI) studies in clinics and vascular labs. The system uses simpleABI software that can be updated to reflect current ICD coding and coverage policies, helping practices keep studies aligned with documentation requirements.
The manual simpleABI system uses a handheld arterial Doppler, manual cuffs, and PC-based software to guide single level ABI and TBI testing from one cart or exam room. The system supports Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) screening by recording segmental pressures and pulse volume recording (PVR) waveforms, which can help identify patients who may need further vascular evaluation.
Because the kit relies on manual inflation and a compact Doppler, it can be used in primary care offices, outpatient clinics, and mobile screening events. Practices can export and review reports electronically, which supports consistent documentation and easy sharing with referring or treating specialists. Compared to larger vascular systems, simpleABI manual kits are structured to offer ABI and PAD testing capabilities at a lower upfront cost for practices that do not need a full vascular lab platform.
