HELP Please !

Post  KAREN EDWARDS on Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:21 pm

Hi Everyone
My old faithful scimed portable vascular lab has finally become obsolete and I have to find a replacement for it. The only equivalent machine that i could find is the Viasys Microlite however my finance department wants me to provide three different quotations for three different machines or else cost every single individual item required for all the different tests!
What do other members use or recommmend?
I need to be able to perform the following examinations:CW doppler, exercise testing, toe and finger pressure measurements with PPG, segmental pressures, and venous refill times.

Any suggestions welcome
Thanks
Karen

I haven't used the vicorder system but saw it demonstrated at the SVT meeting last year and it looked very good. Visit www.skidmoremedical.com for details. Hope all's well in sunny Wales!
