Configure the device for acute and emergency environments
The following considerations should be made regarding the configuration of the Vscan Air for use in acute and emergency environments.
• The Auto-freeze time can be adjusted to keep device scanning for a longer period if exam is expected to be performed with no or infrequent user interface interactions but note that freezing the image when image acquisition finishes will reduce battery drainage and minimize device heating when device is not being used. It can be configured from Menu → Configuration → Scan → Auto freeze time.
• The probe button can be configured for additional functionality (Store or Freeze) that can be helpful during an emergency exam to minimize interaction with the display device. It can be configured from Menu → Configuration → Scan → Probe button action. Note that accidentally pressing the button for 3 seconds or more could lead to an unintentional shut down of the probe.
• To avoid additional delays when starting the Vscan Air probe and app the display unit should if possible be configured to not accept automatic app updates. If an app and/or a probe update is to be performed the availability of the device for scanning might be delayed by up to 3 to 5 minutes. In addition, a possible delay must be expected if the probe software needs to be updated and the probe battery is not sufficiently charged (50%) for the software update to start. See Upgrade Software.
• An internet connection will be required for a user to sign in. Be aware that an Automatic sign out configuration setting will give users an option to control the duration of a signed in session. Configuration is available via Menu → Configuration → Security → Automatic sign out.
