Using the Results screen, verify that the aim was accurate. NO ARROW
SOLID ARROW
FLASHING ARROW
If no arrow is displayed, then the bladder was completely contained within the scanning cone. The measurement is accurate.
If a solid arrow is displayed, then the bladder was mostly inside the scanning cone. The results are satisfactory, but in order to ensure accuracy, Verathon recommends that you re‑aim in the direction of the arrow and perform the scan again.
If a flashing arrow is displayed, then the scan is off-target, and the bladder was not enclosed within the scanning cone. Re‑aim the probe in the direction indicated by the flashing arrow and perform the scan again.
If you want to save the scan, record a voice annotation as follows: • Press and hold the top button until you hear a tone. • Hold the microphone approximately 6 inches (15 cm) from your mouth and speak clearly. • When you have finished recording, release the top button and listen to your annotation play back. • If you are satisfied with the annotation, do not press any buttons. After several seconds, the BVI 6400 automatically accepts and stores the annotation with the exam.
