Authors' results and conclusions:
The Impedimed Imp SFB7 device appears to be effective for diagnosis of lymphoedema, although the studies were small in nature and lacked high quality design. Larger studies in which the device is directly compared with the standard methods for lymphoedema diagnosis are required. Additionally, varied stages of lymphoedema manifestation should be included.
Authors' recommendations:
The Impedimed Imp SFB7 device appears to be an effective tool in the diagnosis of lymphoedema. The use of this device does not require Medicare Benefits Schedule item number. Therefore HealthPACT has recommended that further assessment of this technology is no longer warranted.
