CARESONO PadScan HD 5 Plus User’s Manual

INTRODUCTION

The PadScan HD 5 Plus developed and manufactured by Caresono Technology Co., Ltd. Provides

noninvasive real-time measurement of urinary bladder volume. The device calculates the bladder volume

by using patented ultrasound imaging and measuring technology. When the scan is complete, multiple 2D

plane ultrasonic images are acquired in several seconds.

It features:

 Expert and Easy operating modes.

 Correct, reliable, fast, and simple operation.

 Printouts of ultrasound images with many parameters.

 Portable 8-inch LCD screen(800x600pixels)

 Power supply available by AC adapter and a built-in battery.

Intended Use

The PadScan HD 5 Plus is used for measuring the urine volume in the bladder noninvasively by projecting

ultrasound energy through the lower abdomen of the patient to obtain images of the bladder.

Contraindications

The PadScan HD 5 Plus is contraindicated for any patient who is not a candidate for ultrasound scanning.

 To prevent cross-infection, do not use on patients with open skin or wounds in the suprapubic region.

 This device is not intended for fetus use or for use on pregnant patients.

 Do not use on patients with ascites

 If you scan a patient with a catheter in his/her bladder, the catheter may affect measurement accuracy.

However, the information obtained from the measurement and real-time ultrasound image could still

be clinically useful for detecting problems such as a blocked catheter.
