SONARA - MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN

TRANSCRANIAL DOPPLER PERFORMANCE
SONARA was developed with modern digital Doppler technology for the
benefit of patients and TCD sonographers. Enjoy CW Doppler advantages
with your PW ultrasound probe. Get an immediate scan of spectrums
along the beam to obtain a quick Doppler measurement. Change your
multigating standards and benefit from M-mode operation.
EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A
TRADITIONAL TCD SYSTEM AND MORE
SONARA's digital technology provides more data to aid in the diagnosis
and monitoring of patients at risk for stroke. Quickly investigate flow
disturbances noted on the high resolution 250 gate M- mode display with
the actual spectral data by simply touching the area of interest. Customize
the display using Multigate Spectral Windows to the specific area of
interest for continuous display of information.
Operation is simple and intuitive, allowing you to
perform all standard and unique TCD features
quickly. The large integrated display with touch-
screen controls provides easy operation as well as a
shortened learning curve for your clinical staff.
Simply touch what you want to change - whether it
is the system time or the color of the spectral
waveforms. The user-friendly hand-held remote control makes ergonomic

 WE ARE COMMITTED TO STROKE PREVENTION
VIASYS Transcranial Doppler systems are important clinical
tools that enable clinicians world- wide to screen and diagnose stroke.

Impact of Stroke
• On average,> every 45 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke.
• Each year about 700,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke.
- 14% of persons who survive the first stroke will have a second stroke within 1 year.
- 22 % of men and 25% of women who have a stroke will die within a year.
- 35 to 50% of stroke survivors are permanently disabled or require institutional care.

• In 2005> estimated direct and indirect cost of stroke was $ billion in the United States.

ADDRESS THE FULL RANGE OF CLINICAL

APPLICATIONS WITH VIASYS TCD PRODUCTS
• Standard Diagnostic Evaluations - Protocol driven examination combined
with superior sensitivity allows clinicians to focus on the patient and not the procedure. Add our DICOM
connectivity solution to further increase productivity and decrease reporting errors.

• Emboli Detection Monitoring Combine our state of the art emboli detection algorithm with tools like
-

Continuous SoundTrak, M-mode with Multigate Spectral displays and SoundTrak Display for superior
emboli evaluation.

• Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) TCD has been shown to be as accurate as TEE for screening for the
-

presence of PFO, when using agitated saline or contrast agent. Expanded use for migraine with aura
patients may be appropriate based on recent research related to PFO with stroke.

• tPA Treatment for Stroke Microembolic signals detected by TCD at the site of arterial obstuction, can
-

indicate clot dissolution.2 Recent studies have shown that in patients with acute ischemic stroke,
continuous TCD augments tPA induced arterial recanalization.

• Vasospasm monitoring with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Establish a diagnosis of vasospasm before it

becomes clinically symptomatic and follow its course and response to treatment.

• Sickle Cell Disease Detect and follow intracranial stenosis and time transfusion therapy to decrease
-

incidence of stroke in children diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease.

• Monitoring during Surgery Reduce the risk of perioperative stroke by expanding your monitoring during
-

vascular surgeries where significant flow changes and emboli can result in poor patient outcomes.

• Interventional Procedures Use TCD monitoring for vascular interventional procedures such as Carotid
-

Stent Placement or Test Balloon Occlusion where emboli or flow changes may impact patient outcomes.

• Pre- operative Assessment of High-risk Cardiovascular patients - Vasomotor reactivity evaluation in

addition to a complete diagnostic TCD exam will help identify patients with an increased risk of stroke.

• Cerebral Circulatory Arrest - TCD detection of persistent cerebral circulatory arrest can be used as a
confirmatory test for brain death.
