Frequently Asked Questions

Answering All of Your Questions About VascuChek^®

You Asked About Our Vascular Doppler—We Answered

Does the Transceiver Require Batteries?

No, the batteries are rechargeable and built in, so the end user cannot replace the batteries as they age.

Will the Device Automatically Power Down?

Yes, if there is no probe attached to the transceiver, the system will automatically shut down after three seconds. If a probe is attached to the transceiver, the system will stay on until the user powers it down.

How Long Will a Battery Charge Last?

On average, the charge will last 3-3.5 hours of use, but we highly recommend placing the transceiver in the speaker dock when not in use. The transceiver will charge while stored into the plugged in dock.

What Is the Best Way To Clean the Reusable Part of the Device?

After surgery, we recommend wiping the transceiver or charger with a dry, soft cloth, and flushing difficult to clean areas with 60 mL of cold water two times using a 60 mL syringe.

You should also use a soft bristle brush to brush the device for one minute, paying close attention to the speakers, seams, and labels.

Then, wipe the transceiver or charger with PDI Super Sani Cloth Germicidal wipe (Quaternary/high-alcohol formula (14.85%)) for three minutes. Do not squeeze the cloth directly on the transceiver or charger.

Next, wipe the transceiver or charger with a lint-free cloth dampened with deionized water for one minute two times using a fresh cloth for each wiping session.

Finally, let the device air dry and check for residual, organic material. If present, remove it and disinfect the transceiver again.

Please see VascuChek’s Instructions for Use (IFU) for detailed instructions.

Do I Need a Bluetooth Speaker To Use VascuChek?

No, the transceiver features two integrated speakers and if necessary, the audio can be transferred to the Bluetooth^® speaker in the dock for increased volume and clarity. The operator has complete control of the volume using the buttons on the transceiver.

Are There Multiple Types of Probe Tips Offered?

Currently, we have a single probe tip designed for clinical use and surgical use. The surgical probe tip offers a sheath and arrives sterile. Both probe tips are of the same geometry and sensor size. Additional probe designs are in the works.

What Comes With the VascuChek?

With the VascuChek kit, you get the handheld, rechargeable transceiver, non-sterile charging base, and one clinical probe. We sell our surgical use probes, and additional probe sensors separately.

What Type of Vascular Screenings Can You Perform With the VascuChek?

VascuChek is intended for the intraoperative and transcutaneous evaluation of blood flow in Intraoperative (Microvascular and Vascular), Intraoperative Neurological, and Peripheral Vascular. The clinical device is intended for the non-invasive transcutaneous evaluation of blood flow.
