What Are The Clinical Advantages Of The Atys Systoe?

The Atys SysToe is a ground breaking device designed for the rapid and automatic assessment of toe or finger systolic pressures. Here are some of its key clinical advantages:

  1. Ease of Use: The SysToe is user-independent, meaning it can be operated easily by healthcare professionals without extensive training
  2. Accuracy and Reliability: Utilizing infrared photoplethysmography (PPG) and a patented algorithm, the SysToe provides accurate and reproducible measurements, even in patients with conditions like diabetes or chronic renal failure
  3. Versatility: It can measure pressures as low as 20 mmHg and is suitable for use in various settings, including vascular labs, diabetic units, and general practice
  4. Clinical Validation: The device has been clinically validated, showing good agreement with traditional methods like laser Doppler. It is particularly useful for patients with calcified arteries where other methods might fail
  5. Comprehensive Assessment: The SysToe can calculate the toe brachial index (TBI) or finger brachial index (FBI) when brachial pressure is known, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI)
  6. Patient Comfort: The automatic inflation and deflation of the occlusion cuffs ensure a comfortable experience for patients
    These features make the Atys SysToe an invaluable tool for healthcare providers, enhancing the diagnosis and management of vascular conditions with efficiency and precision.
