Pinit Bladder Scanner

PINIT – Portable Bladder Ultrasound Scanner (PBUS), is medical device  dedicated for quick, accurate  non-invasive bladder volume contents measurement,
and also for basic exams and measurement of urinary organs and tracts.

Most common medical fields:

• urinary incontinence /PVR/
• urinary retention /POUR, AUR, CUR/
• uroflowmetry (urodynamics) support
• monitoring post-operative recovery
• to assess effectiveness of mechanical bladder emptying
• as a standard investigation for at-risk groups with urinary problems
• to determine bladder volume if catheter not draining or is blocked
• to identify any voiding problems prior to an invasive procedure

Advantages:

• limitation of unnecessary catheterization
• reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)
• non-invasive, no pain or discomfort
• instantaneous results
• help in managing incontinence
• enables wide-range diagnose and measurements of bladder, kidneys, prostate etc.
• easy and suitable for use with children and adults
• cost reduction and saving staff time

Urodynamics support:
– kidneys and bladder exams  for infection/ inflammation absence confirmation (B-mode visualization)
– bladder filling confirmation and measurement – before and after uroflowmetry test

Sophisticated and unique features

• bladder contents automatic estimated volume measurement – quick execution: single-click + 2 sec. = result
• semi automatic – multipoint/trace  contoured  volume measurement – unique and excellent method for often appeared “difficult cases” and small volume bladders
• professional mod WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get – non-blindfold measurements (real-time pre-scan)
• diagnostic scanning mode –  classical B-mode visualization, for urology  (kidneys, bladder) and general abdominal exams
• able to be assessed in the home or community setting
• touch-screen operation, easy and convenient for measurement and control.

Used abbreviations:
PVR – Post Void Residual ; AUR – Acute Urinary Retention; CUR – Chronic Urinary Retention; POUR – Post Operative Urinary Retention
