Bidop ® 10. OPERATING PRINCIPLES 7 is designed to obtain blood flow velocity through the use of ultrasound, which is Model Bidop ® transmitted from the probe to the patient’s body and reflected by the blood (hemocyte, etc.) The unit amplifies the high frequency oscillation output and then supplies it to the transmitter trans- ducer.
Bidop ® 13. OPERATION, STORAGE & TRANSPORT OPERATING ENVIRONMENT • 10° to 37°C • 85% humidity or less with no condensation CAUTION Do not drop or place in an area where the unit may fall. CAUTION Care should be taken to avoid RF emitters, eg. RFID, diathermy, electrocautery, mobile phones, computers, &...
Bidop ® 15. CLEANING Clean the Doppler & probes after use. DOPPLER BOX To clean the Doppler box, wipe down with a damp cloth, then with a soft dry cloth. Take care not to allow water to penetrate the unit. CAUTION The Doppler box should not have direct contact with the patient or be placed in the sterile area.

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Bidop 7 is used exceeds the appli- cable RF compliance level above, the Bidop 7 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal perfor- mance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Bidop 7.
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 1. ANKLE BRACHIAL INDEX (ABI) The Ankle Brachial Index is the ratio of the highest systolic pressure at the arm to the systolic pressure at the ankle. This simple test is performed much like taking a standard blood pressure, except that a Doppler is used instead of stethoscope.
Page 48
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 1. ANKLE BRACHIAL INDEX (ABI) (Cont.) Record the systolic pressure at that point, then repeat on the other arm. To calculate the ABI, use the highest arm systolic pressure to rule out subclavian steal syndrome. Take the systolic pressures at the ankle Place a blood pressure cuff snugly above the ankle and connect a sphyg to the cuff.
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 2. SEGMENTAL BLOOD PRESSURES Segmental pressure studies are performed with the same method as an Ankle Brachial Index, but incorporate additional cuffs wrapped above and below the knee, and optionally at the high thigh, in addition to the ankle. Significant pressure differences between adjacent cuff sites indicate narrowing of the artery or blockage in that portion of the leg.
Page 50
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 2. SEGMENTAL BLOOD PRESSURES Interpreting the Results Observe pressure differences between adjacent cuff sites on the same leg. Pressure differences between cuff sites are used to localize the disease. Pressure difference between two adjacent levels of less than 20 mmHg is considered normal within limits.
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 3. PPG TOE PRESSURES & TOE BRACHIAL INDEX (TBI) (Requires the optional PPG probe) PPG (photoplethysmography) toe pressure studies and related TBI’s (Toe Brachial Index) are performed to assess the vascular condition of the foot by obtaining systolic pressures at the toe.
Page 52
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 3. PPG TOE PRESSURES & TOE BRACHIAL INDEX (TBI) (Cont.) Watch the LCD and wait for steady cyclic waveform motion to appear. NOTE If the waveform is not steady or absent, check the sensor for good contact, the limb for possible vasoconstriction, and the pulse for ectopic beats.
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 4. VENOUS REFLUX (Requires the optional PPG probe) Venous reflux studies use a PPG probe affixed adjacent to the posterior tibial artery. The patient is asked to dorsiflex the foot, which acts as a pump for venous augmentation.
Page 54
Bidop ® Vascular Testing Instructions 4. VENOUS REFLUX (Cont.) After dorsiflexing, the patient should relax the foot and avoid all movement. The test is complete when the waveform on the LCD returns to the baseline amplitude. The Bidop ® 7 will automatically freeze and display the results.
