PeriScope is the state-of-the-art PC Windows* based Vascular Analysis System with interpretation

PeriScope uses automatic simultaneous limb NiBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) measurement and ECG waveform to calculate important parameters like Arterial Stiffness Index, Pulse wave velocities, Ankle brachial Index, Ejection slope etc. Additionally, it incorporates Oscillometric envelopes and interpretive monograms. These are established as independent markers to analyze the arterial stiffness and Atherosclerosis.

PeriScope also calculates Mean Arterial Pressure, Pulse Pressure, %MAP, Ejection Time etc. All these parameters give a complete picture of vascular function of the patient. It is a very useful tool for prevention, detection and treatment follow up of vascular diseases.

Windows* based PeriScope software & serial port (optional USB Port) communication with the PeriScope instrument turns any PC into a full-fledged vascular analysis system, with online real time graphs on screen. It gives a multicolor / B& W one-page report on A4 size paper. In-built patient database with more than 1000 patients memory helps you keep track of patient history. All at your mouse clicks in the very user-friendly PeriScope software environment.

PeriScope has been validated for Repeatability and reproducibility. Based on these studies, a research paper "Validity and reproducibility of arterial pulse wave velocity measurement using new device with oscillometric technique : a pilot study" has been published in the international journal Biomedical Engineering Online.

PeriScope has undergone extensive Clinical Trials on Normal Subjects and Patients with CAD, HTN, DM, CKD, RA etc. One of the major trial was carried on nearly 4000 patients. It has established the strong link between arterial stiffness and CVD of various kinds. This original research article can be viewed at Indian Journal of Pharmacology (IJP) website. A study validating the Aortic pressure parameters found by PeriScope by comparing them with another validated device based on tonometry has also been carried out. This study establishes a very good correlation and agreement in results of both the devices as per BHS and AAMI protocols. This research article can also be downloaded from IJP website. Another major study has been carried out on Normal subjects and Patients having controlled or uncontrolled Hypertension. This is a milestone study in cardiology in India which proves that arterial stiffness measurement is an essential part of Anti-hypertensive therapy. This research article can be viewed here online. The editorial article with international perspective and south Asian focus emphasizes the role of Arterial Stiffness measurement in Patients as well as asymptomatic general population.It also reveals the role of PeriScope test as a counter-check mechanism for the treating physician to let him know that the therapy is producing desirable effects.
