When time is critical and charging options are limited or unavailable
The following considerations should be made if the Vscan Air system is used in home healthcare or pre-hospital emergency environments where time is critical and the options to charge the Vscan Air probe or the display devices are unavailable or limited.
General considerations:
• Make sure that both the Vscan Air probe and Vscan Air app selected for use has been registered and are prepared as described in First time registration
• It is recommended for users to get comfortable with handling the Vscan Air prior to taking the device into a home healthcare or pre-hospital emergency environment.
• To help uncover any unexpected challenges with a stable connection between the Vscan Air probe and Vscan Air app, the selected Vscan Air probe and the preferred display device should be tested in an environment as close as possible to the environment where the service is to be provided.
• If an internet connection is not available and/or a user cannot sign in because of other reasons selecting Guest on the Sign in page will give the access to scan and store functionality. Review of images stored while using the guest option is available.
Before taking the device for use in a pre-hospital or home healthcare environment:
• Check the display device charge level and verify that the charge level is consistent with the charge level needed for the duration the display device is planned to be used. A good advice is to always keep the display device fully charged before taking it to pre-hospital or home healthcare environments.
• Check the Vscan Air probe battery charge level according to the description in the Vscan Air probe LED indication, and verify that the probe is fully charged, i.e., both LEDs are green.
• If the display device has been configured to not accept automatic app updates perform a monthly check for updates (see Upgrade software)
NOTE Please note if the Vscan Air probe Storage mode is enabled the probe has to be re-activated (see ‘Re-activating a probe from Storage mode on page 267) and battery charge level checked before taking the probe for use in pre-hospital or home healthcare environments.
After each use in pre-hospital or home healthcare environment:
• Check the display device charge level.
• Check the Vscan Air probe battery status according to the description in the section Vscan Air probe LED indication
• If needed charge the Vscan Air probe to a 90-100% level as described in the section Charging Vscan Air Probe.
• If needed charge the display device to a 90-100% charge level.
