BladderScan® BVI 9400

Important Information

Product Description

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

The BladderScan® BVI 9400, with patented NeuralHarmonics™ technology, is a portable 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® is noninvasive and comfortable for the patient. It is accurate, reliable, quick 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® BVI 9400 calculates and displays the bladder volume. A sonographer is not required.

Patented NeuralHarmonics™ technology (abbreviated from “neural network harmonics”) 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® BVI 9400 measurements can be printed via an onboard printer or transmitted, using HIPAA-compliant ScanPoint® with QuickPrint Imaging Technology Software (optional), to your office or facility computer for viewing, printing, or archiving.

Intended Use Warnings and Cautions

The BladderScan® BVI 9400 should be used only by individuals who have been trained and authorized by a physician or the institution providing patient care. All users must read this entire User’s Manual prior to using the BladderScan® BVI 9400. Do not attempt to operate this instrument until you thoroughly understand all instructions and procedures in this manual. Failure to comply with these instructions may compromise the performance of the device and the reliability of its measurements. For the most current version of the User’s Manual, please visit the Verathon® Web site at: http://www.verathon.com, then select the BladderScan® > Customer Support links to open a link to this manual and other training materials.

Biological Safety

To date, exposure to pulsed diagnostic ultrasound has not been shown to produce adverse effects. However, ultrasound should be used only by medical professionals when clinically indicated, using the lowest possible exposure times indicated by clinical need.

The ultrasound output power of the BladderScan® BVI 9400 is not user adjustable and is limited to the minimum level necessary for effective performance. Data on acoustic output levels can be found in the “Technical Description” section of this manual.

Amber: Battery charging.

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® BVI 9400 draws very little power when it is turned off. However, if you do not plan to use the BladderScan® 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.
