The NEW Vantage ABITM
A Clinical Innovation for the ABI Exam
ONE TOUCH – 3 MINUTE ABI
The Vantage ABI is an innovative system with a cuff-based technology for performing the ankle-brachial index (ABI) exam to assist in the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (P.A.D.)
Market OverviewMarket Overview
Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D.)
Affects 8–12 million people in U.S.1
Under-diagnosed and under-treated
Narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis)
Symptoms can be misinterpreted as normal aging or arthritis pain
Undetected P.A.D. associated with 2 to 3 fold increase in mortality 2 to 6 fold increase in heart attack and
stroke as well as severe decline in quality of life Leading cause of leg amputation (150K annually)2
More common than heart disease, cancer and stroke

Market OverviewMarket Overview
Fortunately…
Current increase in public and professional awareness of P.A.D.
Early detection can prevent further cardiovascular events: heart attack, stroke & death
Reimbursement rates increased to an average of $114/exam*.
Doppler ultrasound for diagnosis of P.A.D. Now easier to use Less expensive to acquire Reimbursable
•This average is based on Medicare Fee Schedules, CMS Part B Contractors, 2011. Arterial exams must be medically necessary in order toseek reimbursement. Other requirements, such as vascular accreditation may apply. Healthcare providers are advised to contact their third-party payers for specific coverage, coding and payment information. Summit Doppler Systems, Inc. makes no promise or\guarantee of reimbursement by Medicare or any other third-party payer.
Market OverviewMarket Overview
Annual testing is recommended for patients at risk by national health organizations
Ankle brachial index (ABI) exam is performed for the diagnosis of P.A.D.
Patients at high risk 70+ years of age Smokers 50+ years of age Diabetics 50+ years of age Diabetics < 50 who smoke with 1 or
more additional risk factors Abnormal pulses during exam Claudication in the leg Critical limb ischemia (CLI)
Awareness & Diagnosis of P.A.D.Awareness & Diagnosis of P.A.D.
The American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are currently working to promote awareness nationally.
In 2006, the National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute (under the NIH) developed “Stay In Circulation”, a 3 year campaign, in cooperation with the P.A.D. Coalition, an alliance of national organizations and professional societies united to raise awareness.
Research has led to new medications that can help manage P.A.D. thus, pharmaceutical companies have launched public awareness campaigns to increase the education of P.A.D.
Increase in public and professional awareness opened up a market opportunity for Summit Doppler’s ABI systems for physicians to diagnose the disease.
Awareness & Diagnosis of P.A.D.Awareness & Diagnosis of P.A.D.
Patient lays in a supine or SEATED position (using the Vista AVS)
Clinician obtains the systolic pressures at the lower and upper extremities
Cuffs occlude arteries & a bi-directional Doppler probe or arterial photoplethysmography (PPG) probe detects the blood flow
Pressure at the ankle < pressure at the arm = some stage of P.A.D.
Printer creates waveform printouts on adhesive-backed paper
Waveforms acquired with a Doppler probe or with pulse volume recording (PVR) using blood pressure cuffs meet reimbursement criteria

For the first time ever, the ABI exam can be performed while the patient is sitting!
The Seated ABI, a clinically proven method* makes it possible to easily assess patients with mobility impairments. Physically disabled or wheel chair
bound Degenerative disease of the spine Severe back pain Advanced cardiopulmonary disease Orthopnea
This feature is U.S. patent pending. * Gornik HL, Garcia B, Wolski K, Jones DC, Macdonald KA, Fronek A. Validation of a Method for Determination of the Ankle-Brachial Index in the Seated Position Journal of Vascular Surgery 2008; 48: 1204-10.

Product OverviewProduct Overview
Features of the Vantage ABI Convenient touch-screen to navigate the system. Displays patient data,
exam information, instructions and menu options.
A USB memory stick is used for exporting data to a personal computer.
Uses digital Fourier oscillometric (DFO) waveform analysis, which Summit Doppler co-invented with researchers from the Cleveland Clinic where the technology was clinically validated.
New technology is a significant improvement in ankle and pressure determination and P.A.D. assessment over traditional
forms of oscillometric ankle pressure measurement.
After the cuffs are wrapped and the patient rests, touch one button and the Vantage ABI completes the exam in just 3 minutes!
