Description
MDPro M4 Handheld Bladder Scanner – Wireless 3D Bladder Volume & PVR
The MDPro M4 is a handheld, portable bladder scanner that connects wirelessly to phones and tablets, making it easy to perform non-invasive urinary bladder volume measurements at the bedside. It is designed for use in surgery, emergency, ICU, obstetrics, gynecology, radiotherapy, home health, and nursing home settings.
The M4 provides the basis for clinical catheterization decisions, evaluates post-void residual (PVR) after patient urination, and supports auxiliary diagnosis of bladder and kidney diseases. It is also suitable for patients with lower body disability or loss of auto-urination function to help confirm the proper timing of urination.
Key features and clinical benefits
- Non-invasive bladder volume measurement: Performs non-invasive urinary bladder volume measurements and post-void residual evaluations within seconds.
- High measurement accuracy: Volume measurement accuracy of ±7% supports confident clinical decision-making and catheterization planning.
- Helps reduce unnecessary catheterization: Provides objective data that can help reduce unnecessary catheterization and associated patient discomfort.
- Supports bladder and kidney assessment: Helps evaluate post-void residual and supports auxiliary diagnosis of bladder and kidney diseases.
- Useful for complex patients: Well suited for patients with lower body disability or loss of auto-urination function, helping confirm the proper timing of urination.
- No annual calibration needed: Designed for low-maintenance ownership with no annual calibration requirements.
Fast 3D scanning and easy operation
The M4 Bladder Scanner is built around a simple, guided workflow so clinicians can obtain accurate bladder volume results quickly.
- Rapid scanning with measurement results available within seconds.
- Performs 3D imaging of bladder volume for clear visualization.
- Provides two orthorhombic images for additional anatomical context.
- Modes selection: Easy, Expert, and Intelligence Mode, with Expert as the default.
- Easy to learn and use, with on-screen guidance for probe positioning and scanning.
