Peripheral artery disease is often silent until it isn’t. By the time a patient has leg pain at rest, a wound that won’t heal or a cold, discolored foot, the disease is usually advanced. Fast, accurate peripheral vascular diagnosis helps catch it earlier, and that depends on having the right testing equipment where patients are seen. 

The Falcon XPRESS Vascular Diagnostic System was built for exactly that. It brings a full physiologic vascular lab into a compact system that works in a hospital, an outpatient clinic, a wound care center or a mobile practice. Here’s a look at what it does, where it fits and why vascular teams are choosing it. 

What is the Falcon XPRESS? 

The Falcon XPRESS is an FDA-cleared vascular diagnostic system for non-invasive physiologic testing of the arteries and veins in the arms and legs. It combines Doppler, pressure cuffs and PPG sensors with automated software, so technologists can run complete exams quickly and consistently. 

It’s part of the Falcon family of vascular diagnostic equipment distributed and supported in the United States by Image Monitoring USA, based in Buffalo, NY. The Falcon XPRESS offers much of the functionality of our higher-end systems in a more compact, more affordable package. 

Key features 

• 8 MHz spectral Doppler for clear arterial and venous waveforms 

• Two UltraSense PPG sensors with removable clips for digit and toe studies 

• Automatic cuff selector that supports up to 8 cuffs, so a full segmental study inflates and deflates without swapping hoses 

• Automatic PVR with post-processing tools 

• Touchscreen operation plus a wireless remote, so the technologist can run the exam from the bedside 

• DICOM and DICOM SR for sending results and structured reports to PACS 

• EMR and HL7 integration to fit into your existing clinical workflow 

Clinical applications 

One Falcon XPRESS covers the most common physiologic tests in a vascular lab: 

• ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index) 

• TBI (Toe-Brachial Index) 

• Segmental pressures and PVR (Pulse Volume Recording) 

• Post-exercise (stress) testing 

• Digit PPG studies, including Raynaud’s evaluation 

• Venous reflux assessment 

• PWV (Pulse Wave Velocity) 

• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) studies 

• Palmar arch evaluation 

• Fistula steal testing for dialysis access 

That range makes it a fit for PAD screening, wound care, limb salvage, vascular surgery follow-up and dialysis access programs. 

Configurations for every setting 

Every lab works differently, so the Falcon XPRESS comes in several configurations: 

Model	Setup	Software
FX5	19” touchscreen desktop on a sit-stand cart	Premium
FX6	Tablet on a pole cart, rechargeable battery	Premium
FX7	Desktop	Standard
FX8	Tablet on a pole cart	Standard
FX9	Mobile, pole cart	Standard
FX10	Most compact, with a carrying bag	Standard
FX11	Laptop, optional pole cart	Standard

Premium software (FX5 and FX6) lets you fully customize protocols for every test type. Standard software gives you one configurable protocol for ABI, TBI, segmental and post-exercise testing, with preset protocols for specialty studies. 

For practices that travel between sites, the FX10 packs into a carrying bag. At one high-volume, multi-location wound and vascular practice, staff can save waveforms right from the pressure screen, which does two tasks in one step. 

Benefits for your vascular lab 

Flexibility. Desktop, tablet, cart, bag or laptop. You pick the setup that matches your space, your patient volume and whether you travel. 

Faster, more consistent exams. Automatic cuff inflation and deflation, automatic pressure capture, automatic PVR and customizable protocols cut down on manual steps. Every technologist follows the same workflow, which makes results more reproducible. 

Easy reporting. Technologists perform the exam. Physicians get a clear, structured report they can review and interpret without touching the equipment. DICOM SR and EMR integration send those reports where they need to go. 

Advanced capability at a mid-range price. The Falcon XPRESS brings full physiologic testing to labs that don’t need, or can’t budget for, a top-tier system. 

Support from a U.S. team. Image Monitoring USA provides installation, hands-on clinical training, technical support and service from Buffalo, NY. 

Who is the Falcon XPRESS for?
