Device Description The FloPatch (FP120) is a non-invasive blood flow detection device to be used in a medical/hospital setting for use by a medical professional. The device uses ultrasound and the Doppler effect to assess the flow of blood. The device consists of a signal processing unit and an adhesive strap. The device transmits ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic transducer to a peripheral vessel. The Doppler shifted ultrasonic waves are reflected by moving blood cells back to the ultrasonic flow transducer. The reflected signal is received by the signal processing unit which outputs the Doppler signal wirelessly to a mobile medical application. The mobile medical application then processes the Doppler signal and displays a Max Velocity trace, Max VTI (Velocity Time Integral) and the Corrected Flow Time. 6. Intended Use The FloPatch FP120 is indicated for use for the noninvasive assessment of blood flow in peripheral vasculature. FloPatch FP120 operates in a single mode, the Continuous Wave (CW) mode only.
