significant increase in
the clinical utilization
of these products. Now,
you can implement an
effective QC program
and perform quick QC
checks of your Doppler system with the AccuFlo Doppler Flow Phantom.
AccuFlo is the first and only inexpensive, easy-to-use Doppler QC test phantom using
blood mimicking fluid.
AccuFlo also eliminates the problems associated with traditional, high-cost, complex Image demonstrating Doppler flow and velocity
Doppler flow phantoms.
The AccuFlo Doppler Flow Phantom is an easy-to-use blood flow simulator that is
completely self-contained; it houses a pump, a simulated vessel, blood mimicking fluid,
and internal electrical components.
AccuFlo is supplied with a specification validation certificate for propagation speed,
sample gate depth, Doppler angle, and peak flow velocity.
Applications
The AccuFlo Doppler Flow Phantom operates in a continuous (non-pulsed) flow mode.
Using the phantom, you can:
• Check the accuracy of the sample gate location by positioning the gate in the center of Color Doppler B-mode image which
the vessel demonstrates flow through the simulated vessel
• Use the ultrasound system’s pulse Doppler mode to check the relative accuracy of the
ultrasound system’s velocity readout
• Compare the location of the vessel on B-mode with the location of the vessel as
indicated by the color flow pattern
• Check the ultrasound system’s ability to discern direction, after noting the flow
direction indicated on the phantom’s exterior. Both conventional and color Doppler
modes should be checked
