The DFree is a revolutionary, lightweight, high-tech, yet simple device that uses safe ultrasound technology to monitor the fluid volume of your bladder. The steady monitoring and intelligent algorithm develop a prediction of when you will need to use the restroom. There is an alert setting on the free mobile app that will send a message to your smart-phone so you have plenty of time to find the next restroom. The device includes a main transmitter that weighs less than 3-ounces and controls the power, recharging center, and Bluetooth connectivity. There is the included abdomen sensor that sends ultrasound waves to continuously monitor the volume of your bladder. This sensor weighs 0.64-ounces and can be medically taped with a layer of ultrasound gel in between the sensor and your skin.
This device is ideal for individuals living with limited control of their muscles, those recovering after surgery, or for those curious about fluid intake and recording patterns. DFree uses Bluetooth technology to connect to your smartphone or tablet. This will work for Apple devices using OS 11 and Android devices using version 4.4 or later. There is a rechargeable battery with a 24-hour life. The charging USB cable is included for your benefit.
For the sensor to work properly, the lightweight sensor should be secured about 0.5-inches above your pubis bone. A layer of ultrasound gel should be applied between your skin and the sensor. Then the sensor should be taped in place using medical tape. By placing the sensor above the pubis, it is anatomically lined up with the bladder. As you consume fluids throughout the day, the meter will rise and you will eventually receive a notification when the volume threshold has been reached. Once you have relieved your bladder accordingly, press Record on the main unit to reset the volume back to 0. This will begin a new recording session.
The device charges with the main transmitter unit connected to a power supply. There is a simple power button on the main device. The button should be held down for three seconds to pair it with your smart-device. Red and green LED lights will flash alternately while the device is pairing. A green light will flash twice once the connection is secured. When the device is charging, the red light will remain illuminated. Once the 240hour battery has been recharged, it will maintain a solid green light.
This device can be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral detergent. Alcohol should only be used when necessary. Do not submerge with water. Do not charge the device while wearing it. The DFree might not work effectively on areas with loose skin, scar tissue, pregnancy, excessive fat, or for those under the age of 6.
DFree is not a medical device and is not intended to be used in the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases or medical conditions.
