How to Use the AvantSonic Z5 Bladder Scanner

Using the AvantSonic Z5 Bladder Scanner is straightforward, ensuring quick and accurate results with minimal effort. Here’s how you can make the most of this advanced device:

  1. Preparation: Start by selecting the appropriate patient profile on the scanner—Male, Female, Female post-hysterectomy, or Child. Apply ultrasound gel to the lower abdomen of the patient, approximately 3 cm above the pubic bone.
  2. Scanning Process: Place the 3D ultrasound probe vertically on the gelled area. The device will emit ultrasonic energy through the lower abdomen, capturing multiple 2D plane images of the bladder in real-time. These images are processed using advanced algorithms to calculate the bladder volume accurately.
  3. Mode Selection:
    • Expert Mode: This mode displays a real-time cross-sectional image of the bladder on the screen, with visual cues to guide probe positioning. A green outline indicates the bladder is correctly centered, while a yellow outline suggests the need for repositioning. This mode is ideal for users who prefer to manually verify measurements.
    • Easy Mode: In this mode, the scanner simplifies the process by guiding the user to locate the bladder. A green line appears on the screen, helping to align the bladder image correctly. The scanner automatically calculates and displays the bladder volume once the probe is correctly positioned.
  4. Printing and Data Management: If needed, the built-in thermal printer can print out the measurements for record-keeping. Additionally, patient data and measurements can be easily transferred to a PC via a USB disk, facilitating efficient data management.
  5. Battery and Power Manage ment:The AvantSonic Z5 operates on a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, offering up to 4 hours of use on a full charge. Recharging takes approximately 2 hours. To ensure optimal performance, the scanner should not be used during charging; always operate it on battery power alone during scans.
  6. Maintenance: One of the key advantages of the AvantSonic Z5 is that it requires no calibration throughout its 6-year lifespan, thanks to its patented imaging and measurement technology. This eliminates the need for regular maintenance, saving time and costs for your facility. However, if your institution’s policy requires annual calibration, this can be performed by your hospital’s engineering team or the supplier’s engineers.

In summary, the AvantSonic Z5 Bladder Scanner is designed for ease of use, reliability, and efficiency. By following these simple steps, healthcare professionals can ensure they are providing the highest standard of care with accurate and consistent bladder volume measurements. The AvantSonic Z5 makes bladder scanning not only accessible but also highly effective, catering to a wide range of clinical needs.
