Note to First Time Users: Verathon
®
advises new operators to use the
BladderScan BVI 3000 on patients with moderately full bladders, rather
than initially attempting to locate nearly empty bladders. An in-service
training video has been supplied with your BVI 3000. We recommend
that you view the video to supplement the information in this manual with
an actual demonstration of BVI 3000 use.
• Turn the BVI 3000 on by pressing the on/off button
• The Main Menu screen is displayed.
• From the Main Menu, press the SCAN button to go to the Scanning
screen.
Note: The Scanning screen
may also be selected by
pressing the scan button on the
scanhead. This is especially
practical when the scanhead
is already positioned on the
patient’s abdomen.
Selecting Gender
• Press the Male/Female button to select the patient gender. The LCD
screen shows a male or a female icon to indicate the gender that is
selected. Use the female option ONLY for women who have NOT
undergone a hysterectomy (the “Female” option allows the instrument
to exclude the uterus from the measurement, which may resemble the
bladder ultrasonically). For all other patients, use the “Male” option.
Preparing the
Scanhead
• Clean the rounded end of the scanhead by wiping it gently with a
cleaning pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or a hospital disinfectant
solution.
Note: If the calibration
due date for your BVI 3000
has passed, the message
“Calibration Due” will
appear every time you turn
on the instrument. You can
still measure bladder volume;
however, this message will
continue to appear until
an authorized Verathon
Service Center calibrates
the instrument. Press OK to
continue.
