The FLOW COUPLER System consists of a FLOW COUPLER Device and a FLOW COUPLER Monitor. The FLOW COUPLER Monitor is a pulsed Doppler ultrasound system designed for the detection of blood flow in vessels. The FLOW COUPLER Device includes a 20MHz ultrasonic Doppler transducer (probe) attached to one of the FLOW COUPLER rings and an external lead. The probe connects to the Monitor via the external lead and emits a pulsed ultrasonic signal. An audible signal of varying volume strength is produced when the probe detects flow.
