VitaScan PD - Ultrasound Bladder
Scanner
Real-me bladder scanning is a safe and
easy, non-invasive method to measure
bladder volume. Bladder scanning
measures ultrasonic reecons within
a paent’s body and dierenates the
urinary bladder from the surrounding
ssues.
The VitaScan PD is a B-mode ultrasound
instrument, portable and baery
operated, intended for the non-invasive
measurement of urinary bladder volume.
A mechanical sector scanning transducer
provides cross-seconal images of the
bladder from up to twenty-four scan
planes. Based on these images the
VitaScan PD automacally calculates the
esmated bladder volume in milliliters and
displays it on a screen.
VitaScan PD is applicable in many clinical
areas to determine bladder volume, me
for bladder emptying and detecon of
post-void residual volume (PVR).
A real-me image of the bladder during
pre-scan makes it easier to detect the
bladder before scanning.
Noce To All Operators:
The VitaScan PD should be used only by
individuals who have been trained and
authorized by a physician or the instuon
providing paent care. All operators
should read this manual prior to using
the VitaScan PD. Failure to comply with
these instrucons may compromise the
performance of the instrument and the
safety of the paent.
Biological Safety:
To date, exposure to pulsed diagnosc
ultrasound has not been shown to produce
adverse physiological eects. However,
ultrasound should be used only by medical
professionals when clinically indicated,
using the lowest exposure mes possible
commensurate with clinical ulity.
The ultrasound output power of the
VitaScan PD is not user-adjustable and is
limited to the minimum level necessary for
eecve performance. Data on acousc
output levels can be found in the secon
tled, “Technical Specicaons” in this
manual.
It is recommended that users read the
Health Canada Guidelines for the Safe
Use of Diagnosc Ultrasound before using
this, or any other diagnosc ultrasonic
device. (hp://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-
semt/alt_formats/hecs-sesc/pdf/pubs/
radiaon/01hecs-secs255/01hecs-
secs255-eng.pdf, note this link may
change over me).
Statement of Intended Use:
The VitaScan PD projects ultrasound
energy through the lower abdomen of the
paent to obtain an image of the bladder.
This image is used to determine bladder
volume noninvasively.
Contraindicaons
The VitaScan PD is not intended for fetal
use or pregnant paents.
Warning: Exposure to low power diagnosc ultrasound has not been shown to
produce adverse eects. However, medical professionals should use ultrasound
only when clinically indicated.
Warning: There is the hazard of possible explosion if the VitaScan PD
instrument is used in the presence of ammable anesthecs.
First me users We advise new operators to use the VitaScan PD on paents
with moderately full bladders, rather than inially aempng to locate nearly
empty bladders.

qualied technician.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not operate the
system in the presence of ammable gasses
or anesthecs.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only
properly grounded equipment.
Shock hazards exist if the power supply is
not properly grounded. Grounding reliability
can only be achieved when equipment is
connected to a receptacle marked “Hospital
Only” or “Hospital Grade” or the equivalent.
The grounding wire must not be removed
or defeated. Connect equipotenal ground
terminal whenever integrity of the external
protecve earth conductor arrangement is in
doubt.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, before
using the VitaScan PD, inspect the housing,
cable, and probe. Do not use the VitaScan
PD if these are damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always
disconnect the power inlet before cleaning
the system.

not use any transducer that has been
accidentally immersed in any liquid, or has
been immersed in any liquid for cleaning or
any other purpose.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not
touch USB port or Ethernet port and the
paent at the same me.
Cauon:
Although your system has been
manufactured in compliance with
exisng EMC/EMI requirements
(EN60601-1-2), use of the system in the
presence of an electromagnec eld can
cause degradaon of the ultrasound image. If
this occurs oen, Vitacon suggests a review
of the system environment. Idenfy and
remove the possible sources of the emissions
or move your system.
Medical Electric Equipment can be aected
by portable or mobile RF communicaon
devices. Turn OFF any portable or mobile RF
device before operang your system.
Electrostac discharge (ESD), or stac shock,
is a naturally occurring phenomenon. ESD is
common in condions of low humidity, which
can be caused by heang or air condioning.
Stac shock is a discharge of electrical
energy from a charged body to a lesser or
non-charged body. The degree of discharge
can be signicant enough to cause damage
to a transducer or an ultrasound system. The
following precauons can help reduce ESD:
an-stac spray on carpets, an-stac spray
on linoleum, and an-stac mats.
Do not use the system if an error message

Safety and Performance Summary
Safety and Performance Summary
The VitaScan PD computes the volume of
the urinary bladder based upon twenty-four
cross-seconal ultrasound images (or less).
For maximum accuracy, be sure to hold the
Scan head moonless while scanning.
The most accurate measurements are
obtained when the paent rests quietly in
the supine posion.
Accuracy is compromised if the user does
not obtain an opmal, repeatable image.
Errors in usage tend to result in the
underesmaon of bladder volume, except in
cases where the Scan head is moved during
scanning. In this case, the measurement may
overesmate the paent’s bladder volume.
The paent being scanned should not have a
catheter in his/her bladder. This could create
micro bubbles in the bladder, which aect
the accuracy of the measurement.
Do not use the VitaScan PD on paents
with open skin or wounds in the suprapubic
region.
Use care when scanning suprapubic and
pelvic surgery paents. Scar ssue, surgical
incisions, sutures, and staples can aect
ultrasound transmission and reecon.
