SMART-XT-LINK SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The Smartdop XT6 CAN ONLY BE OPERATED VIA THE SMART-XT-LINK SOFTWARE.
Please refer to the sections titled “3.Getting Started (pg 6)” and “4.Testing (Pg 8)” in the pdf manual supplied on the USB Flash Drive
for instructions for software installation and initial set-up of the device.

(1) Open the Smart-XT-Link software and enter
“Automatic Arterial Testing” from the Main Menu.
(2) Wrap cuffs snugly, positioning bilaterally for arm, ankle and hallux.

(3) Hook up colour coded tubing between cuff and inflation port on the XT6 for each site being used. Be sure to match colour coded tub-
ing with the same colour inflation port for each site. Left & Right tubing and inflation ports are also colour coded with blue rubber secured
on the end of each “Right” tube, while a blue strip on the device identifies all “Right” inflation ports (see pictured at end of manual).
(4) Connect 2 PPG probes to the Smartdop XT6 and secure each PPG transducer with the clear side against the pad of each great toe.
You can use either the Toe Clips provided or Micropore tape to secure the probes.
(5) Once all cuffs and probes are secured in place, click
“Auto Start”. The Smartdop XT6 will start on both sides simultaneously, going
through each selected site individually. Once complete,
the message shown on right will appear. Click OK to close it and
ABI and TBI will be calculated automatically during the tests.
Please Note: If for some medical reason one arm site cannot be tested (i.e. dialy-
sis), simply leave the cuff off the site and complete auto testing. An error message
will appear, click ignore and the results will appear.
(6) If a site fails, the message shown on right will appear,
explaining which site has failed. Simply adjust the cuff, ensure all
tubing is tightly secured and click “Yes” to retry or “Ignore” to skip
the site and carry on with procedure.
Once complete, click “Return to Main Screen”.

(1) Enter “Doppler Arterial Testing”. This screen should already be set up
with the necessary sites from your Initial Set Up process.
(Refer to Initial Set-Up Manual)
(2) Connect 8Mhz probe to Smartdop XT6 and have doppler gel ready.
(3) Click on any individual site and a Monitoring Screen will appear,
ready to detect a waveform.
(4) Palpate relevant pulse and apply doppler gel.
(5) Position probe on pulse and angle at approximately 60 degrees to the vessel. Adjust the
probe angle until clear, crisp sounds are heard and a
defined waveform is visible on the Smart-XT-Link Software.
(6) Once you have found an ideal waveform, use “Freeze” button on the
probe. If you are unsatisfied with current waveform, press “Freeze” button
on the probe again to continue searching for an ideal waveform.

(7) Once you have an ideal waveform identified on the Monitoring Screen, click “Decision” to save
waveform and click “Return”.
(8) Repeat previous step across all required sites.

DOPPLER WAVEFORMS - INTERPRETATION
TRIPHASIC (Normal)
• Triphasic sounds indicate bi-directionality and a compliant artery at the point of probe contact.
• The first long sound is the systolic forward component.
• The second short sound is the reversal component and is seen below the baseline
of the waveform print out. It is thought to occur upon closure of the aortic valve.
• The third sound indicates wall motion characteristic of a compliant artery.
BIPHASIC (Normal to Mild PAD)
• Biphasic sounds indicate bidirectional flow velocity having both forward systolic
and reverse diastolic component but no third component.
• While they are considered normal, the lack of the third component may indicate minor to
moderate blood flow impairment or simply improper probe angle this is why it is important to
carefully adjust the probe to obtain the best sounds.
MONOPHASIC (Severe PAD)
• Monophasic sounds are low frequency sounds having a single cycle.
They are low in intensity and indicate severe disease.
ABI
Ankle Brachial Indexes provide quantitative
measurements of peripheral circulation.
However, elevated readings >1.3 are common
with patients with diabetes due to calcification
of the vessels which results in an invalid
reading.
ABI = ankle systolic blood pressure
brachial systolic blood pressure
TBI
Toe Brachial Indexes are now commonly used as the chance of an invalid reading
due to calcification of the vessels is less likely when compared with ankle pressures.
TBI = toe systolic blood pressure
brachial systolic blood pressure
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) <0.9
Mild PAD 0.7-0.9
Moderate PAD 0.4-0.69
Severe PAD <0.4
Normal 0.65-1
Severe/Critical PAD <0.2
Absolute Toe Pressures
Absolute toe pressures are also used to indicate wound healing potential.
Absolute toe pressures >30mmHg indicate there is an increased chance of healing.
These quantitative measurements can assist in establishing a baseline to track a
patient’s progress over time, as well as being an excellent screening tool to identify
potential foot health risk.
