Product overview Applicable specialties Financial incentives Benefits of Summit Doppler Summary Other diagnostic products Featured Products Reimbursable ABI Systems Vista AVSTM LifeDopTM 300 ABI for the Diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D.) Featured Products 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 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 1. American Diabetes Association 2. Jeff MR, Biamino G. Conquering Critical Limb Ischemia. Endovascular Today. February 2004; 3 (2). Market 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 to seek 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 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. 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. 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 adhesivebacked paper Waveforms acquired with a Doppler probe or with pulse volume recording (PVR) using blood pressure cuffs meet reimbursement criteria Product Overview Summit Doppler’s Reimbursable ABI Systems LifeDop 300 ABI System Convenient keypad for fast ABI calculation and dual ankle waveform printout. Affordable, ultra-portable system for performing the ABI exam – Doppler, bi-directional probe and printer Vista AVS Full-featured system - 3 modalities: PVR, bi-directional Doppler probe & arterial PPG – Seated ABI, automated segmental exams, PPG pressures –PC download capability (EMR compatible) Product Overview Features of the LifeDop 300 ABI Convenient keypad for entering pressure data for ABI calculation Sensitive, bi-directional probe & hand-held Doppler stores two ankle wave-forms prior to printing Portable, rechargeable printer Fast, waveform printout on adhesivebacked label paper Automatic scaling and calibration Small & easily transportable Superior sound quality Display shows pressure data, blood flow direction & ABI results after the exam is completed. Product Overview Features of the Vista AVS 3 modalities: PVR, bi-directional Doppler probe & Arterial PPG (photoplethysmography) probe Perform the Seated ABI on mobility impaired patients Automated segmental studies to customize exam Automatic cuff inflation/deflation & index calculation PPG probe for obtaining toe and limb pressures Graphic waveform display with step-by-step exam instructions Accommodates standard and custom exams Built-in printer for waveforms on adhesivebacked label paper Full-page reporting, exam storage and PC download capability Product Overview The Seated ABI For the first time ever, the ABI exam can be performed while the patient is sitting! Performing a Seated ABI using the Vista AVS. 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 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! Product Overview Vantage ABI uses Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) to obtain the ankle waveforms to assist in P.A.D. diagnosis SAMPLE OF NORMAL PVR Sharp systolic upstroke Dicrotic notch SAMPLE OF ABNORMAL PVR Applicable Specialties Cardiologists Vascular labs General practitioners Podiatrists Osteopaths Endocrinologists Internists Interventional radiologists Financial Incentive What’s in it financially for the customer? Quick return on investment Summit Doppler ABI Systems pay for themselves in as little as 3 weeks ABI exam is reimbursable under CPT® Code 93922 an average of $114/exam.* With the Vista AVS, 2 additional (reimbursable) exams can be performed: Segmentals (CPT code 93923) average is $177/exam* Stress Testing (CPT code 93924) average is $221/exam*. •These averages are based on Medicare Fee Schedules, CMS Part B Contractors, 2010.
