Portscan 3D - Portable Bladder Scanner for Precise Measurements

The Portscan 3D by Laborie is an advanced 3D automatic bladder scanner that sets a new standard in non-invasive bladder volume measurement. Ideal for reducing the frequency of unnecessary catheterizations and minimizing the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), this portable device is a valuable tool in various clinical environments, from hospitals to medical offices.

Ultrasound technology, as used in the Portscan 3D, is a proven method for non-invasively visualizing, monitoring, and measuring various aspects of the human body. For bladder volume measurement, it differentiates the bladder from surrounding tissues using ultrasonic reflections and calculates the volume based on a clinically validated algorithm.

The Portscan 3D features a two-button system and an intuitive touchscreen interface, making it accessible to both novice and experienced users. Its design eliminates the need for probe orientation, offering optimal flexibility and ease of use in any setting. Universal gender settings and the automatic bladder wall recognition algorithm further enhance its accuracy and reliability, ensuring consistent results for all patients.

One of the standout features of the Portscan 3D is its automatic imaging capability. The probe captures 12 images and over 3000 lines of data in just 3 seconds without user intervention. This automated process not only speeds up the scanning procedure but also improves accuracy, providing clear and reliable results that clinicians can depend on.

Real-time ultrasound viewing is another significant advantage of the Portscan 3D. This feature allows healthcare professionals to monitor bladder volumes as they are being scanned, enabling more precise measurements and reducing the risk of errors. The device’s high-resolution color LCD touchscreen further enhances user interaction, making the scanning process simple and efficient.

Designed for versatility, the Portscan 3D is lightweight and portable, weighing only 2 kg (4 lbs). Its compact dimensions (14 cm x 32.5 cm x 15.5 cm) make it easy to transport and store, while the durable ergonomic cart minimizes the risk of probe damage during handling. This ensures that the device is always ready for use, even in the most demanding environments.

The Portscan 3D is equipped with a high-capacity internal memory capable of storing up to 100 scans, with unlimited storage available through PC software integration. The device also supports DICOM/PACS connectivity, allowing for seamless data transfer and integration with electronic medical record (EMR) systems. This feature is particularly beneficial for facilities requiring extensive data management and analysis capabilities.

The device's durability is backed by a top-tier 5-year warranty program, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind. Additionally, the Portscan 3D requires no calibration, significantly reducing the time and costs associated with annual maintenance. Combined with its intuitive design and advanced features, the Portscan 3D represents an excellent investment for any medical facility looking to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.
