  • Page 15: Introduction

    • Familiarize yourself with the contents of this manual. • Watch the onboard tutorial provided on the instrument. The BladderScan BVI 9400 has two main components: the console and the probe. The console and probe are linked by a detachable cable.

  • Page 16: Probe Components

    PROBE COMPONENTS The probe transmits and receives ultrasound waves, automatically moving its internal transducer 360º to scan twelve planes to produce a three‑dimensional image of the bladder. The probe is attached to the console by a cable. The probe has three main features: Figure 2.

  • Page 17: Console Components

    CONSOLE COMPONENTS The console provides most operating controls for the scanning process by means of five variable function buttons. The measured bladder volume and target‑shaped aiming icons are clearly shown on the main display. The console also provides controls for adjusting brightness and volume, turning the power on/off, interfacing with a Scan Point host computer (optional), and adjusting user settings and preferences.

  • Page 37 SCAN COUNTER FEATURE ON THE SELF TEST SCREEN The BladderScan BVI 9400 is equipped with a scan counter feature. It counts all Scan button pushes captured by the console. It is designed to enable clinical users or service technicians to determine the number of scans the device has performed over its lifetime.
  • Page 38 To ensure reliability, a backup copy of the scan count is stored in device memory. If both the scan counter and its backup copy are corrupted, the scan counter will automatically reset to a zero value. The scan counter feature is designed so that the value cannot be manually reset or modified by the clinical user or service partner.
  • Page 39 TROUBLESHOOTING The scan counter feature is designed for redundancy, so the scan value is stored in multiple locations in the instrument’s internal memory. If one of the storage locations fails, the text “EEPROM Failed” will be added to the DSP status line. In the event of an EEPROM failure, the counter will continue to work but will not have a backup copy stored in the instrument.
  • Page 40 Home screen. The Scan Point screen displays information about the ® status of the link between the BladderScan instrument and the Scan Point host computer. Note: The Scan Point screen (connected) is only available if the optional Scan Point software is installed on a PC. Figure 8.
