Vitacon, from Trondheim, Norway, has received FDA clearance for the VitaScan LT USB bladder scanner. The VitaScan LT consists of a handheld 3D ultrasound probe that connects to a standard Windows-running laptop or tablet using USB. It enables real-time bladder volume measurement in hospitals, clinics and home health.
Bladder volume measurements are almost fully automatic and happen within just a few seconds, only requiring the operator to keep the probe in the right place. Both a three-dimensional image and calculated volumes are displayed. Storage of images, records and reports can be done on the connected computing device or directly in the EMR.
