VitaScan PD User and Service Manual
Introduction VitaScan PD - Ultrasound Bladder Scanner Real-time bladder scanning is a safe and easy, non-invasive method to measure bladder volume. Bladder scanning measures ultrasonic reflections within a patient’s body and differentiates the urinary bladder from the surrounding tissues. The VitaScan PD is a B-mode ultrasound instrument, portable and battery operated, intended for the non-invasive measurement of urinary bladder volume. A mechanical sector scanning transducer
provides cross-sectional images of the bladder from up to twenty-four scan planes. Based on these images the VitaScan PD automatically calculates the estimated bladder volume in milliliters and displays it on a screen. VitaScan PD is applicable in many clinical areas to determine bladder volume, time for bladder emptying and detection of post-void residual volume (PVR). A real-time image of the bladder during pre-scan makes it easier to detect the bladder before scanning.
Important Information Notice To All Operators The VitaScan PD should be used only by individuals who have been trained and authorized by a physician or the institution providing patient care. All operators should read this manual prior to using the VitaScan PD. Failure to comply with these instructions may compromise the performance of the instrument and the safety of the patient. Biological Safety To date, exposure to pulsed diagnostic ultrasound has not been shown to produce adverse physiological effects. However, ultrasound should be used only by medical professionals when clinically indicated, using the lowest exposure times possible commensurate with clinical utility. The ultrasound output power of the VitaScan PD is not user-adjustable and is limited to the minimum level necessary for effective performance. Data on acoustic
output levels can be found in the section titled, “Technical Specifications” in this manual. It is recommended that users read the Health Canada Guidelines for the Safe Use of Diagnostic Ultrasound before using this, or any other diagnostic ultrasonic device. (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewhsemt/alt_formats/hecs-sesc/pdf/pubs/ radiation/01hecs-secs255/01hecssecs255-eng.pdf, note this link may change over time). Statement of Intended Use The VitaScan PD projects ultrasound energy through the lower abdomen of the patient to obtain an image of the bladder. This image is used to determine bladder volume noninvasively. Contraindications The VitaScan PD is not intended for fetal use or pregnant patients.
!
Warning: Exposure to low power diagnostic ultrasound has not been shown to produce adverse effects. 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 flammable anesthetics. First time users: We advise new operators to use the VitaScan PD on patients with moderately full bladders, rather than initially attempting to locate nearly empty bladders.

This system complies with the applicable medical equipment requirements published in the European Norm Harmonized Standards, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). For maximum safety observe the following warnings and cautions:
!
Warning:
Caution:
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or injury, do not open the system enclosure. All internal replacements must be made by a qualified technician.
Although your system has been manufactured in compliance with existing EMC/EMI requirements (EN60601-1-2), use of the system in the presence of an electromagnetic field can cause degradation of the ultrasound image. If this occurs often, Vitacon suggests a review of the system environment. Identify and remove the possible sources of the emissions or move your system.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gasses or anesthetics. 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 equipotential ground terminal whenever integrity of the external protective 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. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do 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.
!
Medical Electric Equipment can be affected by portable or mobile RF communication devices. Turn OFF any portable or mobile RF device before operating your system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, is a naturally occurring phenomenon. ESD is common in conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or air conditioning. Static shock is a discharge of electrical energy from a charged body to a lesser or non-charged body. The degree of discharge can be significant enough to cause damage to a transducer or an ultrasound system. The following precautions can help reduce ESD: anti-static spray on carpets, anti-static spray on linoleum, and anti-static mats. Do not use the system if an error message appears on the display: note the error code; turn off the system; call Vitacon or your local representative.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not touch USB port or Ethernet port and the patient at the same time.

Safety and Performance Summary The VitaScan PD computes the volume of the urinary bladder based upon twenty-four cross-sectional ultrasound images (or less). For maximum accuracy, be sure to hold the Scan head motionless while scanning. The most accurate measurements are obtained when the patient rests quietly in the supine position. Accuracy is compromised if the user does not obtain an optimal, repeatable image. Errors in usage tend to result in the underestimation of bladder volume, except in
PAGE
11
cases where the Scan head is moved during scanning. In this case, the measurement may overestimate the patient’s bladder volume. The patient being scanned should not have a catheter in his/her bladder. This could create micro bubbles in the bladder, which affect the accuracy of the measurement. Do not use the VitaScan PD on patients with open skin or wounds in the suprapubic region. Use care when scanning suprapubic and pelvic surgery patients. Scar tissue, surgical incisions, sutures, and staples can affect ultrasound transmission and reflection.
