Non-invasive, fully automated computer-based system that provides a thorough analysis
More than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or prediabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As of 2015, 30.3 million Americans – 9.4 percent of the U.S. population – have diabetes. Another 84.1 million have prediabetes, a condition that if not treated often leads to type 2 diabetes within five years.
Early detection of cardiovascular and peripheral neuropathies is key to managing diabetic patient populations. We are proud to offer leading-edge Autonomic Nervous System testing solutions that enable physicians to detect and manage ANS conditions. Our equipment measures galvanic skin response and Heart Rate Variability through a simple, quick, and non-invasive test that gives providers the ability to detect autonomic neuropathy before it becomes symptomatic.
Peripheral and cardiovascular neuropathy are among the largest concerns for diabetic patients, and it has been repeatedly proven that the earlier this condition can be detected and treated, the more likely a patient is to live a long and healthy life. Current estimates put the likelihood that a diabetic patient showing physical symptoms of peripheral neuropathy will survive through the next five years at between only 25 and 50 percent. By catching this condition through regular testing, health care providers can make a positive difference.
Autonomic Nervous System testing requires only minutes to set up and operate – the benefits for your patients last a lifetime. Also, with insurance billing codes that work with major private insurance, including Medicare, you can be sure that this is one solution that truly benefits your practice as well.
Introduction
ProMED ANS Device is a non-invasive, fully automated computer-based system that provides Heart Rate Variability (HRV), blood pressure analysis and Pulsewave Velocity analysis for quantitative assessment of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).
Over stress and immobilization are conventional health risk factors, triggering the development of life threatening specific diseases. VitalScan ANS PWV Pro offers the possibility of Cumulative Physical and Mental Stress Assessment.
ProMED ANS Pro Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) analysis is based on physiological phenomenon, observable and measurable in the arterial elasticity and stiffness during blood circulation.
ProMED ANS Device is the result of more than three decades of very profound scientific research. Testing can be performed easily in almost all medical branches. ProMED ANS Device offers the possibility to manage the effect of any health promoting strategy.
*According to Published Studies “Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy occurs in about 17% of patients with type 1 diabetes and 22% of those with type 2.
* Of patients with symptomatic autonomic dysfunction, 25% to 50% die within 1 to 5 years of diagnosis.
* A patient’s history and physical examination are ineffective for early detection of CAN, and therefore noninvasive tests that have demonstrated efficacy are required.
* Screening for Autonomic Neuropathy should be instituted at Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes and 5 years after the diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes – 2005 ADA Standard of Diabetes Care.
* Although it can cause severe cardiovascular problems and sudden death, surveys show that only 2% of people with diabetes are tested for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN).
* Easily adaptable towards general and specific requirements of almost all medical branches.
* Presents a quick and reliable supplementary assessment of primary health risk factors. Assesses the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system.
* Reliably discovers ventricular and supraventricular extrasystoles.
* Assesses autonomic physical dysregulation, accumulated physical and mental stress.
* Assesses physical training needs based upon an individual’s cardiovascular fitness levels.
Reveals development of possible health risks.
Provides early indications of health risks for quick detection and prevention of illness, disease, and progressive stress conditions before onset and development.
* Efficiently screen mass population to detect potential risks and reserve costly, full medical checkups for only those exhibiting health threats.
