  • Page 38: Self Test Screen

    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 39 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 40 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.
