MedTech Edge supplies Dolphin TCD machines in Australia and New Zealand, supporting fast and reliable brain death assessment for healthcare professionals.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) technology is now an essential tool in neurocritical care, allowing clinicians a non-invasive way to assess cerebral blood flow. Dolphin TCD machines stand out among available solutions, delivering trusted, rapid brain death assessment to support vital clinical decisions in acute care. With advanced automation and established reliability, Dolphin TCD systems represent a benchmark in neurological diagnostics and are now utilised in neurocritical care, supported by MedTech Edge, throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Brain death assessment is a vital procedure in clinical and emergency contexts, used to definitively determine the irreversible loss of all brain function. This process is especially critical in ICUs, emergency departments, and neurology units, where fast, accurate diagnostics enable timely decisions and effective patient management. Leveraging technologies like TCD and transcranial Doppler systems allows clinicians to conduct brain death assessments efficiently, minimising delays and supporting urgent care workflows.
Speed and accuracy in brain death diagnosis matter because they:
• Enable prompt identification of organ donation candidates.
• Ensure legal criteria and complete medical documentation are met.
• Minimise uncertainty for families and offer clarity to care teams.
• Optimise the use of critical care resources.
• Align with national and international clinical standards and guidelines.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound is a non-invasive, bedside method for measuring cerebral blood flow, using ultrasonic waves through the skull to gauge blood velocity in the brain’s main arteries. TCD gives clinicians a quick, real-time view of cerebral circulation, making it invaluable for brain death assessment.
Compared to ancillary techniques like EEG and CT angiography, TCD offers several advantages for intensive care and emergency settings:
• Delivers immediate, real-time bedside results
• Involves no radiation, contrast agents, or sedation
• Portable and usable in any clinical location
• Enables repeat assessments as patient condition changes
The Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) Statement on Death and Organ Donation (Edition 4, 2019) recognises TCD as a valuable screening tool. According to the ANZICS guidelines, TCD helps determine the best timing for confirmatory brain perfusion imaging, reducing unnecessary procedures and streamlining care.

Optimise stroke monitoring using robotic Transcranial Doppler by MedTech Edge for accurate, continuous cerebral blood flow assessment and diagnostics.
Round-the-clock cerebral monitoring is essential in managing stroke cases, especially during the post-acute phase. Robotic Transcranial Doppler (TCD) facilitates this requirement through its capability to perform non-invasive and uninterrupted evaluations of intracranial blood velocity. Continuous tracking supports informed decision-making in time-sensitive scenarios.
Application within high-dependency units ensures patients at risk of secondary strokes are monitored without delay. Stroke recurrence and silent infarcts are tracked using dynamic waveform interpretations, offering clinicians data that guide interventions. The system’s non-contact operation limits patient disturbance while maintaining consistent signal accuracy.
Neurological care facilities benefit from this method by incorporating seamless automation. Reduced reliance on manual handling minimises user variability and promotes consistent surveillance. Such automation fosters efficiency in clinical workflows while maintaining diagnostic integrity across extended care durations.
The Transcranial Doppler proves valuable in neurocritical environments by providing automated cerebral blood flow surveillance with minimal operator input. Its application in neurological intensive care supports timely interventions through accurate and consistent data outputs.
• Supports early autoregulation assessment: Continuous waveform tracking reveals shifts in cerebral autoregulation dynamics. This facilitates timely interventions that stabilise brain perfusion before deterioration sets in.
• Monitors elevated intracranial pressure (ICP): Changes in flow patterns and pulsatility indexes are captured through non-invasive means. Early signs of raised ICP are flagged without relying on invasive probes.
• Reduces clinician workload: The device automates probe positioning and calibration, requiring minimal manual adjustment. This allows personnel to allocate attention to broader aspects of neurocritical care.
• Improves waveform consistency: Robotic mechanisms maintain precise transducer placement throughout prolonged monitoring sessions. This reduces variability and enhances the reliability of diagnostic data.
• Enables data-driven decisions: Trend data and real-time analytics support clinical teams in assessing cerebral perfusion status. Informed adjustments to treatment protocols can be made with minimal delay.
• Adapts to patient movements: The system sustains alignment and contact even as patients reposition during monitoring. Accurate readings are maintained without interruption to workflow.
• Prevents missed deterioration: Subtle changes in flow velocity or pulsatility are automatically flagged for review. This enables early recognition of secondary complications or cerebral ischaemia.
• Integrates with ICU systems: The Transcranial Doppler interfaces with central monitoring platforms for unified data visualisation. Synchronised integration streamlines decision-making and response coordination.
