The BladderScan BVM 9500 bladder volume instrument, with NeuralHarmonics® technology, is a portable, 3D ultrasound device that quickly, accurately and noninvasively measures urinary bladder volume, post-void residual (PVR) and bladder wall thickness in adults.

The BladderScan BVM 9500:

• Measures bladder volume and bladder wall thickness
• Helps diagnose urinary retention and post-operative urinary retention (POUR)
• Helps evaluate many common urological concerns
• Helps prevent unnecessary catheterization which eliminates unnecessary trauma to patients
• Helps reduce rates of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (caUTIs)
• Helps differentiate between types of incontinence to determine appropriate care
• Improves efficiency of health care professionals by reducing costs and saving staff time

Technology

NeuralHarmonics® - New technology in the science of ultrasound

NeuralHarmonics enables quick and more accurate measurements than conventional two-dimensional ultrasound
In bladder volume measurements, a unique second harmonic differentiates the bladder, urine and hypo-echogenic regions such as the uterus. This results in a better analysis, a faster answer, and a more accurate measurement from the device

BladderScan is quick and easy to use. When the user releases the scan button, within seconds, the instrument measures ultrasonic reflections on multiple planes inside the body and produces a three-dimensional image. Based on this image, the BladderScan calculates and displays the bladder volume
