Revolutionizing Bladder Assessment: The BladderScan Prime
The BladderScan Prime by Verathon represents a significant advancement in bladder management technology, providing healthcare professionals with an efficient, non-invasive solution for accurately measuring bladder volume. This cutting-edge 3D ultrasound system is particularly valuable in clinical settings where quick and reliable bladder assessments are necessary, including urology clinics, nursing homes, and hospital wards.
At the heart of the BladderScan Prime system is a sophisticated console equipped with a vibrant touch-screen display, enabling intuitive navigation and operation. This user-friendly interface allows clinicians to perform scans, manage results, and customize settings with ease. The console also features controls for adjusting brightness and volume, alongside a standby mode for energy conservation. The integration of an onboard tutorial and help screens further enhances usability, ensuring that users can quickly access necessary information and assistance.
The BladderScan Prime utilizes an ergonomic probe containing a high-performance ultrasound transducer, which automatically rotates 360 degrees to capture images of the bladder across twelve planes. This comprehensive scanning capability results in precise three-dimensional representations of bladder volume, facilitating more accurate diagnoses and patient management. The probe is connected to the console via a flexible cable, allowing for ease of use during examinations.
One of the standout features of the BladderScan Prime is its ability to operate in various scanning modes tailored to the patient's anatomy. Whether assessing male, female, or small child patients, the system adjusts its parameters to ensure optimal performance. This adaptability makes the BladderScan Prime an indispensable tool in diverse clinical scenarios.
Moreover, the console offers an optional live imaging pre-scan mode, which displays a B-mode view of the abdomen in real-time. This feature allows clinicians to locate the bladder prior to performing the volume measurement scan, improving accuracy and efficiency. Following the scan, results are immediately displayed, showing bladder volume and targeting information, which can be saved, printed, or transferred for further analysis.
The BladderScan Prime is powered by a reliable lithium-ion battery, with the accompanying battery charger capable of charging one or two batteries simultaneously. This design ensures that the device remains operational at all times, allowing healthcare providers to swiftly respond to patient needs without delay. A unique feature of the battery system is its test button, which allows users to check the charge level without having to install the battery in the console. This capability provides added convenience and peace of mind.
In addition to its core features, the BladderScan Prime supports a variety of accessories and configuration options, including a mobile cart for enhanced portability, a printer for immediate result documentation, and external memory solutions for data management. These accessories are designed to complement the system’s functionality, making it a versatile solution for any clinical environment.
With operating conditions designed for both indoor use and a wide temperature range (10 to 40°C), the BladderScan Prime is well-suited for various clinical settings. Its robust design ensures functionality even under challenging environmental conditions, with storage capabilities extending to temperatures of -10 to 60°C.
The BladderScan Prime by Verathon is a state-of-the-art solution for non-invasive bladder volume measurement. With its innovative features, ease of use, and adaptability, it enhances clinical workflow and patient care, making it a must-have tool for healthcare providers dedicated to improving bladder management.
