- Diagnosis of:
- Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO)
- Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)
- Overactive bladder (OAB)

Acute Care
In the Acute Care setting, the BladderScan assists in diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of post-operative urinary retention (POUR) and helps prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (caUTIs)
For Health Care Providers
BladderScan helps:
- Diagnose urinary retention
- Evaluate post-operative urinary retention (POUR)
- Reduce unnecessary catheterization
- Reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infection (caUTI)
- Identify a blocked Foley catheter*
- Evaluate the need to catheterize after Foley catheter removal
- Evaluate the need to catheterize during intermittent catheterization
- Assist in bladder retraining (biofeedback)
- Verify empty bladder
*If you scan a patient with a catheter in his/her bladder, the catheter may affect measurement accuracy. However, the information obtained from the measurement could still be clinically useful for detecting problems such as a blocked catheter.
