RD2 Bi-directional Doppler
and PPG System
Four application areas in one unit:
• DVT Screening
• CVI Screening
• ABPI measurements
• Fetal heart detection
Dopplex RD2 handheld unit combines
Digital Photoplethysmography (PPG)
with Bi-directional Doppler to make a
complete arterial and venous
assessment system. It can provide
printouts of venous refill curves and
blood fl
ow waveforms using Dopplex
DR3 software or the Dopplex Printa II
package.
DVT Scr
eening with the Dopplex RD2
The Dopplex RD2 unit has been clinically pr
oven to be
effective in screening patients for the absence of a Deep
V
ein Thr
ombosis (DVT) in the lower limb.
Clinical studies have shown that Dopplex RD2 is a r
eliable
screening tool in patients with suspected lower limb DVT
and is suitable for bedside and community based
practice.
(Tan et al, 1999; Hennings et al, 2000)
Recent studies have shown that when the Dopplex RD2
is used in conjunction with D-Dimer, 100% NPV for DVT is
obtained. This has also resulted in significant cost savings
for the hospital by reducing the number of Duplex scans.
(T
ovey et al, 2000; W
illiams et al, 2002)
The RD2 unit is ideal for A&E departments, Medical
Assessment Units, GP and Leg Ulcer Clinics.
CVI Screening with the Dopplex RD2
The Dopplex RD2 unit can also be used for assessing
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).
Applications include:
• Rapid assessment of overall venous function.
(McEnroe
et al, 1988)
• Differentiation between deep and superficial venous
insufficiency
(Neumann et al, 1992)
• Measurement of ABPI
• Detecting Fetal heart beat (with optional OP2)
