Operations & Maintenance Manual: Introduction
INTRODUCTION
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The BladderScan BVI 6400 is a portable, hand‑held ultrasound device that scans the patient’s bladder. It is
battery‑powered with an ergonomic design. Using patented V
mode
®
technology, it provides a noninvasive
measurement of urinary bladder volume. The display provides aiming assistance and provides an array of
bladder measurement information.
The device measures ultrasonic reflections on multiple planes inside the body, producing a three‑dimensional
image. Based on this image, the device calculates and displays the bladder volume. A sonographer is not
required.
Volume measurements made with V
mode
ultrasound are more accurate than those from conventional
ultrasound, as they are based on a more complex, three‑dimensional image of the bladder.
The device includes an integrated microphone for recording voice annotations. Voice annotation allows up to
10 exams to be stored on the device.

This hand‑held, portable device:
• Measures bladder volume noninvasively.
• Takes scans quickly, providing test results in a matter of seconds.
• Is easy to operate: staff members can easily learn to scan patients quickly
and accurately.
• Provides the capability to voice annotate each exam (10 seconds to record
patient ID and relevant exam information), ensuring that valuable patient
and exam data is retained.
• Stores voice‑annotated data for up to ten exams.
• Improves efficiency of healthcare professionals who examine multiple
patients on their rounds.
• Allows for exam results and images to be downloaded, viewed and
printed using the optional Scan Point ® Image Management Technology.
• Is battery‑operated, lightweight, and portable.
SCAN POINT IMAGE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY (OPTIONAL)
You may transmit bladder volume measurements and ultrasound images from your BladderScan device to
Scan Point image management software. Scan Point installs on a Windows
®
‑based computer and allows
viewing, printing, and archiving of patient exam results, including ultrasound images for patient records and
reimbursement (when applicable). Exam data and ultrasound images may be printed in a variety of report
formats from adhesive labels that may be affixed to patient charts, to full, letter‑size formats.
Scan Point can also be used to calibrate your device. The Scan Point image management technology
(Scan Point software, license, and accessories) is available with the purchase of many BladderScan systems.
Comprehensive service and warranty are provided under the Scan Point Total Reliability
SM
