Here are a few innovative products from VIASYS:

Companion III

The Companion III is an advanced Transcranial Doppler system that provides non-invasive assessment of blood flow in the major arteries in the brain and throughout the body, including evaluation of numerous neurologic vascular problems such as vasospasm, and intracranial stenosis. The portability and light weight of the Companion III make it extremely valuable in the ER, OR and bedside locations in the hospital, clinic or in everyday office use. The system has an integrated TFT and a convenient touch screen control panel. Data acquisition is done easily via our latest version 3.7 of WinTCD software and NicVue patient database. Data storage is a breeze with a sizeable hard drive and an integrated CDR/RW drive. The Companion III offers you everything you could ask for in a portable TCD machine: probes ranging from 1.6 to 20MHz, color M-Mode display, pre-programmed diagnostic protocols or advanced monitoring and trending capabilities.

PIONEER TC8080

Our Pioneer TCD system allows non-invasive assessment of the major arteries at the base of the brain as well as most arteries throughout the body. Transcranial Doppler applications include: detection of intracranial stenosis, detection and serial tracking of vasospasm, evaluation of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFI), intraoperative monitoring for changes in blood flow or potential embolic events during cardiac and Carotid artery surgery. Standout features on the Pioneer include up to 4 simultaneous channels of Doppler, multi-depth options, the original SoundTrakTM utility, power and color Doppler M-Mode and a choice of quality 1.6, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 20MHz to suit practically every Doppler requirement.

The Pioneer operates on Windows XP using the latest version 3.7 of our proprietary WinTCD software. Networking capabilities and our exclusive NicVue patient management software allow communication with other VIASYS products for seamless data integration of multiple systems and labs. The Pioneer is powerful and flexible yet remains user friendly.

Our proprietary software makes the VasoGuard easy-to-use, combining intuitive commands with on-screen instructions and an on-line manual. All requested calculations for Doppler spectral waveforms appear on the screen at the touch of a button: rise time, maximum frequency, maximum velocity, pulsatility index and resistance index. VasoGuard Autopick function allows the user to automatically select the moment when the pulse returns in a pressure study making the test virtually effortless. VasoGuard offers a variety of ways to store your data: a large hard drive and a built in CDR/RW drive.
