DESCRIPTION
Bladder Scanner
The Verathon BladderScan BVI 3000 Bladder Scanner is a portable, 3D ultrasound instrument that quickly, accurately, and noninvasively measures urinary bladder volume and post-void residual (PVR). It is battery-operated, easy-to-use, and quickly provides accurate results. In less than 5 minutes, you can use the Verathon BVI 3000 to obtain a precise reading of a patient’s bladder volume. The BVI 3000 supplies information that caregivers need to diagnose, treat and manage urinary conditions.
This BladderScan has clinical applications in various disciplines, from private practice to acute and extended care. When you use the BladderScan, you can be confident that you’re providing your patients with the best care available.
The BVI 3000 calculates bladder volume using patented VMODE technology. Volume measurements made with VMODE ultrasound are more accurate than those from conventional 2-dimensional ultrasound, as they are based on a more complex, 3-dimensional image of the bladder.
VMODE ultrasound is easy to use and comfortable for the patient. When you press the scan button, within seconds, the VMODE technology measures ultrasonic reflections on multiple planes inside the body and produces a 3-dimensional image. Based on this image, the BVI 3000 calculates and displays the bladder volume, and displays multiple B-mode images.

FEATURES
- LCD screen displays bladder position and volume; aiming icon assists in proper probe placement.
- 3D display shows the bladder in 2 cross-sectional images to verify an accurate scan.
- Easy-to-print exam results for patient records or reimbursement procedures.
- Helps document cost savings and catheterizations-prevented based on user-determined statistical input.
- Anesthesiology Reduce the need for catheterization during surgical procedures. Verify bladder emptiness before anesthesia.
- Geriatric ward Assess urinary incontinence and retention and the necessity of indwelling catheterization.
- Neurology Determine the voiding capability of stroke and Spinal Cord Injured (SCI) patients.
- Pediatric ward Verification of adequate bladder volume prior to suprapubic taps for urine samples. Create feedback for bladder training.
- Post operative recovery room/ Post operative wards Determine the need to catheterise patients with voiding blockage after anesthesia. Verify catheter blockage versus anuria.
- Rehabilitation Assess voiding dysfunction. Implementation of Volume versus Time based intermittent catheterization programs.
- Urology Measure post-void residual (PVR) for the assessment of urinary retention caused by obstruction of the prostate. Verify bladder volume prior to and after uroflowmetry.
- Uro gynaecology Monitor bladder volume to avoid the risk of over-distention after spinal anesthesia. Verify bladder emptiness prior to pelvic surgical procedures.
- Post partum assessment of bladder volume prior to catheterization
