The Robotic TCD System

The robotic probe is perhaps the most innovative advancement in TCD monitoring. The robotic probes, when integrated into a bilateral head frame are able to search, optimize, and keep track of bilateral TCD signals in the MCA. In "Tracking Mode", probes are automatically controlled, adjusted and fine tuned, ensuring an optimal signal even if the patient is moving. This is the first and most refined robotic TCD system on the market, enables the operator to comfortably insonate over time, without the need of manual adjustments. Particularly during surgical procedures or physiologic testing, this unique system offers substantial advantages in effort, time, and quality when compared to conventional, manual probe holders or the larger and less sophisticated options. 

 Up to eight high resolution spectra can be displayed, with sample volume gates changed individually or simultaneously. In M-Mode, colour coded blood flow velocities in up to 128 depths are displayed and controlled. The 1.6 MHz monitoring probes impress with better penetration, yielding better signal quality. In vasospasm, higher PRFs allow insonation velocities of up to 750 cm/s.
