Description
M5 3D Bladder Scanner – Bladder Volume & Wall Thickness
The M5 is a 3D bladder scanner designed for non-invasive measurement of bladder volume and bladder wall thickness in hospitals, long term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and urology clinics. It combines a console with a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a built-in printer, a probe with an ultrasound transducer, and a dedicated medical cart.
With high volume measurement accuracy, no calibration required, and fast scanning times, the M5 provides a reliable basis for bladder management, post-void residual assessment, and information to support bladder and kidney disease diagnosis.
Key features and clinical benefits
- Non-invasive bladder volume and wall thickness: Measures bladder volume and bladder wall thickness without catheterization, supporting safer, more comfortable assessments.
- High volume measurement accuracy: Volume measurement accuracy of ±7% helps clinicians make confident bladder management decisions.
- No calibration required: Designed to operate without routine calibration, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.
- Automatic patient type selection: Automatically selects patient type to streamline setup and scanning.
- Pubic bone interference indicator: A dedicated indicator helps the operator recognize and adjust for pubic bone interference for clearer measurements.
- Supports multiple care settings: Suitable for hospitals, long term care, rehabilitation centers, and urology clinics that need consistent bladder volume and wall thickness data.
Display, workflow, and usability
The M5 is built around a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen console with integrated information management, printing, and review functions.
- 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen display with touch key operation.
- Bladder positioning guide on the mini screen of the probe to assist probe placement.
- Both patient information and bladder values are printable via the built-in printer.
- Search for a patient by name to quickly review all historical readings for that patient.
- Information storage for images, results, and other patient information.
- Information management functions to check history, restore data, store, print, delete, and export information.
- Information entry fields for patient gender, ID, name, and age.
3D and 2D imaging capabilities
The M5 combines 3D and 2D imaging modes to provide a comprehensive view of bladder volume and bladder wall thickness.
- 3D bladder scan display shows real-time scan images, bladder volume value, bladder shape, bladder projection, and 3D image.
- 2D bladder scan display shows real-time scan images and bladder wall thickness value.
- 2D tissue harmonic imaging to enhance image quality.
