PBSV4.2 Bladder Scanner
Product Introduction
The
PBSV4.2 Bladder Scanner is a non-invasive ultrasound device designed for rapid
measurement of bladder urine volume. Consisting of a host unit and an
ultrasound probe, the system scans the patient's bladder, identifies its
position and contour, and calculates the estimated urine volume without
requiring catheterization.
Featuring
real-time bladder imaging, 24 scanning sections, and multiple patient
measurement modes, the PBSV4.2 supports convenient bedside bladder assessment.
Its 8.4-inch TFT color touchscreen, manual contour correction, and integrated
case management functions provide an intuitive workflow for healthcare
professionals.
The
bladder scanner is suitable for clinical assessment of patients with urinary
retention, prostatic hyperplasia, neurogenic bladder, and other conditions
requiring bladder volume evaluation. It can also support bladder function
training, intermittent catheterization management, and residual urine volume
assessment alongside urine flow rate testing.
Performance Features
• Non-Invasive
Ultrasound Measurement: Measures bladder urine volume externally
without catheter insertion.
• Rapid Bedside
Operation: Supports convenient bladder volume assessment at the patient's bedside.
• Real-Time Bladder
Imaging: Displays bladder shape, position, and scanned image boundaries.
• 24 Scanning Sections: Uses
multiple scanning sections to support bladder contour identification and volume
calculation.
• Multiple
Patient Modes: Provides male, female, pediatric, and phantom measurement
modes.
• Flexible
Scanning Options: Includes expert mode and simple mode for
different operating requirements.
• Manual
Contour Correction: Allows operators to manually adjust the
identified bladder contour.
• Large
Touchscreen Display: Equipped with an 8.4-inch TFT color LCD
touchscreen and physical keyboard.
• Case and Image Storage: Stores up
to 100 cases and 1,200 images, with browsing and export functions.
• Multiple
Output Interfaces: Supports thermal printer, USB, and Bluetooth
communication interfaces.
• Portable
Rechargeable Power: Uses four general-purpose 18650 rechargeable
lithium batteries.
• Bionic Model Training: Supports
training and operational practice using a bionic bladder model.
Working Principle
The
PBSV4.2 bladder scanner uses ultrasound technology to examine the bladder
non-invasively. The probe transmits ultrasound signals into the lower abdominal
region and receives echoes reflected by internal anatomical structures.
The
host processes these signals to identify the bladder boundary and generate
real-time bladder images. By analyzing the bladder contour across 24 scanning
sections, the system calculates the estimated urine volume and displays the
result on the touchscreen.
Operators
can review the bladder image, position prompts, and measurement results. If
necessary, the manual correction function allows adjustment of the identified
bladder contour. Measurement data and images can then be stored, browsed,
exported, or transmitted through the available interfaces.
