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.
