What is a PADnet+ test?
A PADnet+ test is a non-invasive physiologic study which includes patient care required to perform the study, supervision of the studies, and interpretation of the study with copies for patient records or hard copy output results with analysis of all data. PADnet+ sends study data to a secure web server which supports HIPAA compliance for delivery to vascular specialists who provide professional interpretation. Specifically, PADnet+ includes bilateral segmental pressures at multiple levels, and Pulse Volume Recordings (PVR) which provide waveforms to analyze the quality of blood flow. ABI values can sometimes be non-diagnostic due to arterial calcification. PADnet+ solves this problem because the PVR test can uncover disease in locations where arterial calcification masks the underlying problem. Below is a brief description of each of the components of the PADnet+ test: Segmental Pressures: A test to evaluate and compare the systolic blood pressures in a patient’s arms and ankles (deve
