Training

The Uscan device is intended to be used by clinicians with appropriate professional qualifications and clinical
training. Intended users include physicians, nurses, nurses' aides, midwives, and physical therapists.
All users should read the generic ALARA education program supplied with your Uscan (see enclosed ISBN
1-93004 7-71-1, Medical Ultrasound Safety) or the Health Canada "Guidelines for the Safe Use of Diagnostic
Ultrasound" available on the Health Canada website. This program outlines the guiding principle for
diagnostic ultrasound, where the qualified user keeps ultrasound exposure to "as low as reasonably
achievable" while performing a diagnostic examination.
In addition to the above, users intending to use the general imaging must have appropriate training in
ultrasound. Appropriate information on training may be obtained by contacting
professional body.
For users measuring bladder volume an understanding of anatomy and location of the bladder is required.
Ultrasound training is required if bladder outline adjustments are to be performed.
Warning
 You must have appropriate ultrasound training before using the system for general ultrasound imaging
or adjusting bladder measurement outlines.
