Doctors: Give Your Patients A Heads Up on Arterial and Heart Disease!
-
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death.
-
1 in 7 people die of cardiovascular disease.
-
Many times the 1st and only symptom is a heart attack or stroke.
-
Cardiovascular disease accounts for over $503 billion dollars of annual healthcare spending.
The Meridian Digital Pulse Analyzer is used to measure and analyze pulse waveforms, heart rate and show arterial indexes. It provides information by way of a non-invasive, infrared light fingertip probe.
The measurement probe consists of a light-emitting diode (infrared LED) and a photodiode placed on the opposite side (of a finger) as a light receiver. The Photodiode detects the changes in the amount of light absorbed by hemoglobin, which tracks against time the density of blood in the fingertip, allowing the device to graph the pulse of blood flowing from the heart.
The Meridian DPA converts the changes of transmitted light into a waveform and displays digital values of pulse rate as well as a graphic display of the pulse waveform and indices on the LCD screen. The DPA also displays the second derivative pulse waveform (Accelerated Plethysmograph or APG) to provide a better evaluation of arterial health.
Pulse wave analysis uses the shape of the pulse wave at the fingertip as recorded by a pulse ox to create specific indexes that can show arterial health.
The Meridian DPA performs a second test, by using a PC based program, the DPA is able to measure Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and provide the quantitative analysis of the stress response. It indicates the regulation status and balance of the autonomic nervous system.
Meridian Digital Pulse Analyzer – Medical Grade Cardio Wave Analysis.
1. Early stage exam of cardiovascular diseases by Cardio waveform measurement and analysis
- Early diagnosis of arteriosclerosis and peripheral circulatory disturbance.
- Analysis on blood circulation indexes
- Analysis on blood vessel indexes
- Ability to plan the treatment and follow up with the patient under treatment at an early stage
2. Exam of autonomic nervous system by HRV(Heart Rate Variability)
- Saves the HRV data and analyzes its data in 5 min.
- Body response on stress evaluation
- Makes it easy to evaluate the treatment methods or effectiveness of medicine
3. User friendly operation
- Simple exam procedure
- Quick 1 – 5 minute measurement time
- Convenient operation by automatic measurement and analysis
- Simple and fast operation by using Window software
- Easy management of the patient database
Non -Invasive
Our device uses a small clip that you place over the patients finger which detects the changes in pressure, blood flow and velocity through the full arterial pulse wave cycle.
Pays For Itself After A Few Months.
Based on normal fees for the tests delivered, a Digital Pulse Analyzer will pay for itself within a few months of use, meaning that the machine will be helping your patients and providing steady income for many years to come.
Important Tool for Prognosis
Measuring the arterial pulse wave and using this to estimate the characteristics of the blood vessel walls and pulsatile function of arteries means that the practitioner has important prognostic and therapeutic information far beyond what can be obtained through traditional blood pressure measurements.
