    In order to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilize natural resources prudently and rationally – do not dispose of waste electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) as unsorted municipal waste. Contact local WEEE disposal sites. Safety of Ultrasound The Summit Doppler LifeDop L300 ABI System was designed with physician and patient safety in mind.

  • Page 6: Product Description

    Product Description The LifeDop L300 ABI is a full-featured handheld Doppler designed to serve the needs of clinicians performing the ankle brachial index (ABI) exam. Limb systolic pressures are obtained with a highly sensitive bi-directional ultrasound Doppler probe. Each limb pressure can be stored for calculation of the left and right ABIs.

  • Page 7: Installation And Basic Operation

    Installation and Basic Operation Preparing the Equipment for Use Recharge the printer before use. Plug the probe cable into the main unit, and become familiar with the equipment’s capabilities and limitations by reading the LifeDop and Printer User Manuals prior to use. Connecting the Printer Ensure that the printer is loaded with paper and connect the cable to the LifeDop and printer as shown, with connector tabs down as labeled “THIS SIDE UP”.

    Controls, Indicators & Connectors Probe Connector Volume Headphone Jack On/Off Printer Connector Site Store Waveform Print Numbers Clear On/Off Control Turn the LifeDop L300 ABI on by pressing the On/Off button. LCD indicators show power status. The LifeDop automatically shuts itself off after 5 minutes if it is not being used, or after 20 minutes if a limb pressure or ankle waveform has been saved.
  • Page 9 ABI/Pressure Data Battery Indicator Site Locations Flow Direction Keypad Numerals 0-9 Enter each limb’s systolic pressure data using the numeric keypad. The pressure is stored in the site location shown on the display. Once the pressure is entered the unit automatically advances to the next site location.

  • Page 10: Performing The Abi Examination

    Performing the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) Examination The ABI for each leg is determined by dividing the ankle pressure by the higher of the two arm pressures. Doppler waveforms from the ankles aid in the diagnosis of PAD and are usually required for reimbursement.
  • Page 11 Right Brachial Artery Pressure 3. Connect the hose from the hand pump to the cuff on the right arm. Apply a small amount of gel over the patient’s brachial artery on the right arm and place the Doppler probe at approximately 45 degrees, pointing in the direction toward the shoulder as shown in Figure 3.
  • Page 12 Right Ankle Waveform 7. Acquire a Doppler signal at either the posterior tibial (PT) or dorsalis pedis (DP) artery as shown below. Start by applying a small amount of gel to the site and tilt the probe at a 45 degree angle, pointing the probe tip toward the calf and knee.
  • Page 13 Right Ankle Pressure 9. Connect the cuff hose to the right ankle cuff. Use either the PT or DP artery to obtain the ankle systolic pressure. Acquire the Doppler signal. Brace your probe hand while inflating the cuff to a pressure 20 mmHg above the occlusion pressure, which is the point at which flow sounds are no longer heard.
  • Page 14 Viewing and Printing the ABI Results 15. The ABI for the left leg is displayed after the L-BRA pressure is entered. The ABI for the right leg can be seen by pressing the SITE key once. ABI for the Right Side 16.

  • Page 15: Interpreting The Examination Results

    Interpreting the Examination Results Ankle Brachial Index The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is determined by dividing the ankle pressure by the higher of the two brachial pressures. A separate ABI is determined for each leg. These calculations are done automatically by the LifeDop L300 ABI. ABI = ankle pressure higher brachial pressure...
  • Page 16 The Doppler waveforms are automatically scaled to a maximum frequency of either 1 KHz, 2 KHz or 4 KHz for optimal waveform height. Markings on the vertical axis are provided every 1 KHz. Printer calibration is not required. Auto-Scaling - 1 KHz, 2 KHz and 4 KHz Blood flow in the direction toward the probe is shown above the baseline.

  • Page 18: Maintenance And Cleaning

    Maintenance and Cleaning Warnings • The LifeDop is not designed for liquid immersion. Do not soak the Doppler main unit or probes in liquids. Do not use products containing bleach. • The LifeDop is not designed for sterilization processes such as autoclaving, gamma radiation or hydrogen gas.

  • Page 19: Replacing Lifedop ® Batteries

    Periodically (at least annually): Inspect the main unit and probes for signs of cracks or breaks in the mechanical housing. Inspect cables and connectors for signs of wear or failure. The user should discontinue use of the unit with any sign of loss of housing integrity. Contact CooperSurgical for service (800) 444-8456 or +1 (203) 601-9818 for international calls.

  • Page 20: Recharging Printer Batteries

    Recharging Printer Batteries Caution • Use only the battery and AC adapter supplied with the printer. Use of any other battery and or AC adapter is hazardous and may cause damage to the equipment. Warning • Do not connect the printer to the Doppler while the printer is charging. It is recommended that the printer be recharged prior to first use.

  • Page 21: Troubleshooting Problems

    Troubleshooting Problems Warnings • Use alternate equipment in case of unit failure. Call the CooperSurgical Service Department if the probe or main unit malfunctions at (800) 444-8456 or +1 (203) 601-9818 for international calls. • Do not drop or mishandle the LifeDop, probes, aneroid or other accessories. Damage to sensitive electrical components, speakers, cables, transducers or plastic is likely to occur.

    Printer Not Printing (Error 9) The LifeDop and printer have lost communication. This may be due to a printer jam, paper empty, low printer battery or any of the previously listed printer error codes. To clear the error, lift the paper cover lever, reseat the paper roll and close the cover. If printer communication is re-established, the LifeDop will automatically print the buffered waveform.
