moorVMS-PRES Pressure Cuff Controller: Reliable, Automated Vascular Assessment

The moorVMS-PRES Pressure Cuff Controller delivers consistent, reproducible, and automated pressure cuff protocols, streamlining vascular assessment in research.

The system helps to overcome the traditional challenges of manual operation and offers precise control, reliable data, and reduced analysis time.

Coupled seamlessly with Moor’s laser Doppler monitors and moorVMS-PC software, the system enables robust, single-operator control for comprehensive vascular analysis. Also suitable for use with our faster imaging systems. ”

Key Features:

Fully automated pressure inflation, targeted pressure settings, hold times, and deflation protocols.
Flexible standard protocols including Toe Blood Pressure (TBP), Skin Perfusion Pressure (SPP), Post Occlusive Reactive Hyperaemia (PORH), Pulse Volume Recording (PVR), and Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI).
Versatile cuff sizes from digit to thigh, with reliable air-tight connections.
Standalone compatibility or integration with existing laser Doppler monitoring and imaging systems.
Medical-grade quality with a three-year warranty.

This section lists the more common questions our customers have with regards to the moorLAB-PRES. If you have a question you would like answered that does not appear below then please email us. We are happy to help!

Q. What is the fastest way to deflate the cuff?
A. You can set the moorVMS-PRES to automatically deflate at MAXIMUM rate, or we can supply a cuff with a manual deflation valve ideally suited to the Post Occlusive Reactive Hyperaemia protocol - please ask for further details.

Q. Can I change the position of the green markers in the review trace window?
A. Yes - double click on the marker you wish to move and type in the time position you wish to move it to.

Q. Can I use the moorVMS-PRES with other flow detectors?
A. Yes. moorVMS-PRES can operate in stand alone mode as a cuff control system to reliably automate inflation/ deflation protocols. Standard built in protocols can be edited and operated from the front panel (without a PC or additional equipment). Analogue outputs are provided to integrate the pressure signal with your own device.

Q. How can I use the moorVMS-PC software for analysis?
A. All moorVMS modules link to your PC through USB connections. This allows automation of the pressure protocol with analysis markers inserted into the trace. This allows the software to calculate and report on the various parameters associated with the trace. You can choose which parameters you want calculated and how!

Indications for use

The moorVMS-PRES pressure cuff controller is a device for cuff inflation and deflation control and pressure measurement. It is intended to allow non-invasive measurement of skin perfusion pressure, pulse volume, systolic blood pressure and ankle/toe brachial pressure index when used with a laser Doppler monitor either manually by the operator or automatically by separate dedicated PC software.
