These features may be enabled or disabled according to the instructions in “Configure Exam Settings” on page 32: • Live B‑Mode Aiming—The system displays a real‑time B‑mode ultrasound view of the patient’s abdomen, allowing you to aim the probe and locate the bladder before scanning.
  • Page 48 4. Hold the probe by grasping it with the probe cable running up your wrist and forearm. 5. Gently press the probe onto the lower abdomen through the gel. The probe cable should be oriented at 90 degrees to the sagittal plane of the patient. Sagittal plane 90°...

  • Page 49: Procedure 4. Review Exam Results

    9. Press the probe button or tap Scan on the Home screen. • If live B‑mode aiming is enabled, continue to Step 10. • If live B‑mode aiming is disabled, hold the probe steady while the scan is in process, and then continue to the procedure “Review Exam Results”.
  • Page 50 1. When the Results screen appears, check whether a yellow greater than (>) symbol appears next to the recorded volume and the bladder is shown in yellow. If this occurs, a portion of the bladder was outside the ultrasound field of view, and the actual bladder volume may exceed the displayed result. You should aim the probe again and rescan the patient.
  • Page 51 2. If you want to rescan the patient, on the Results screen, tap Scan. Repeat the scanning procedure as necessary to adjust your aim or confirm the initial measurement. 3. When you are finished scanning, you can review the results in B or C modes. (C‑mode is displayed by default.) You can save scan results, and you can print scan results if you have the printer installed.
  • Page 52 6. If you want to show individual scan measurements, tap the Scan History arrow. 7. Tap the scan measurement number to see the scan display. 8. To discard the displayed scan, tap the Delete icon. 9. If you want to transfer the scan result to an EHR or EMR system using a barcode reader, continue to the procedure “Generate a Barcode containing an Exam Result”.

  • Page 53: Procedure 5. Generate A Barcode Containing An Exam Result

    PROCEDURE 5. GENERATE A BARCODE CONTAINING AN EXAM RESULT Once the system has been configured to generate barcodes, you can display a barcode containing the largest scan result of the current exam on the console’s touchscreen. You can then use a barcode reader to collect the scan result and transfer it to your facility’s medical records system (which can be either an EHR or an EMR system).

  • Page 54: Procedure 6. Print, Save, Or Exit An Active Exam

    PROCEDURE 6. PRINT, SAVE, OR EXIT AN ACTIVE EXAM When the exam is complete, you can take several actions from the Results screen. If you want to… Tap… Record patient information Patient ID Print Print the exam results Save the exam results (the system stores the Save and Exit largest measurement) Exit without saving the exam results...

  • Page 55: Managing Saved Exams

    MANAGING SAVED EXAMS The system can store saved exams in its internal memory or on external devices such as USB flash drives. If you scan the patient multiple times during an exam, the system saves the largest measurement. If no external devices are attached, the system stores saved exams in its internal memory. If the system runs out of internal memory, it overwrites the oldest exams as needed to make space for new ones.

  • Page 56: Procedure 2. Delete A Saved Exam

    3. If you want to sort exams using a different value, tap a sortable field header. The field headers let you sort the exam list using the following fields. The columns may be sorted in ascending or descending order. The currently selected sorting field is highlighted in white, and an arrow icon indicating the direction of the sort is shown next to the column label.

  • Page 57: Procedure 3. Export Saved Exams

    PROCEDURE 3. EXPORT SAVED EXAMS Use this procedure to move exams from the system’s internal memory to an external USB drive. By default, saved exam results are retained in the system’s internal memory. When you insert a USB drive into the console, the system immediately begins reading the new drive for saved exam results.
