Is PADnet+ Venous Edition a clinically accurate and reproducible test?
A PADnet+ venous test includes a thorough physical examination and automated diagnostic procedure utilizing clinically proven optical probe (photoplethysmography (PPG) technology). The PPG is used to assess the circulatory hemodynamics, or motion of blood in the skin by gauging the perfusion, or transportation of blood and reflux of blood in the lower limb. The venous refill test is a reliable indicator of venous valvular insufficiency. PADnet+ was tested for substantial equivalency against existing vascular lab equipment performing similar tests (venous refill exam) and was found to be substantially equivalent to such equipment.
