Important Information BladderScan® BVI 9400

Important Information

Product Description

BladderScan® instruments are the gold standard in bladder volume measurement.

The BladderScan ultrasound instrument that provides a noninvasive measurement of urinary bladder volume. The device consists of an ultrasound probe that scans the patient’s bladder, and a compact, battery-operated console that provides an array of measurement-related information.

BladderScan and easy to use. When the user releases the scan button, within seconds, BladderScan measures ultrasonic reflections on multiple planes inside the body and produces a threedimensional image. Based on this image, the BladderScan displays the bladder volume. A sonographer is not required.

Patented NeuralHarmonics™ in the BVI 9400, sharpens accuracy and accelerates speed of measurement. Volume measurements made with NeuralHarmonics™ technology are more accurate than those from conventional two-dimensional ultrasound, as they are based on a more complex, multifaceted image of the bladder. This technology, applying multi-spectral analysis to a robust data set, helps reduce margin of error and minimize uncertainty in essential measurements of bladder function.

BladderScan transmitted, using HIPAA-compliant ScanPoint Software (optional), to your office or facility computer for viewing, printing, or archiving.

Install a Battery Pack in the Console

WARNING! Risk of serious injury.

If the battery pack is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective gloves to handle it and discard it immediately. Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on the electrodes during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire, or electrical shock. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

To insert a battery pack:

Insert the charged battery into the battery well in the Console, slide it under the ledge and push down gently until the battery clicks into place.

NOTE: The battery pack is designed to prevent incorrect installation. NOTE: If the battery pack does not slide into the battery well easily, move the battery and

try again. Do not force the battery into position.

Battery Care

The BladderScan do not plan to use the BladderScan

BVI 9400 draws very little power when it is turned off. However, if you

for several weeks, you should remove the battery to

prevent it from discharging.

When batteries are not in use, they should be stored in the Battery Charger so they remain fully charged.
