BladderScan^® Patient Assessment Kit Benefits

• BladderScan BVI 9600 portable 3D ultrasound bladder volume instrument with AortaScan^® Mode
• FloPoint^® Elite uroflow system

The instruments in the kit enable rapid and noninvasive measurement of abdominal aortic diameter, urinary post-void residual (PVR) and urinary flow, by your staff (no sonographer required) to:

• Help identify the presence of abdominal aortic aneurysms
• Detect high PVR or abnormalities in urinary flow
• Monitor progress of therapy for continued treatment

• Measures the diameter of the abdominal aorta to help identify the presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
• Measures bladder volume noninvasively on a wide range of patients
• Helps diagnose urinary retention
• 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

NeuralHarmonics^® - New technology in the science of ultrasound

NeuralHarmonics enables quick and more accurate bladder volume 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.

The AortaScan Mode on the BVI 9600 uses VMODE^® technology. VMODE is a patented, three-dimensional ultrasound technology from Verathon^®, designed to provide optimum accuracy and ease of use. VMODE technology works by measuring ultrasonic reflections on multiple planes inside the body to produce a 3-dimensional image. Diameter of the abdominal aorta is then calculated automatically, based on the 3-dimensional image.

The advanced technology in the FloPoint Elite uroflow system provides an accurate and convenient method to assess bladder function. The FloSensor records and transmits patient voiding data wirelessly to the ScanPoint remote.

Key measurements provided to assess bladder function include:

• Peak flow and average flow
• Time to peak flow
• Voided volume
• Void time
• Flow pattern

This data can help determine, for example, if the patient is obstructed and requires treatment. ScanPoint image management technology also enables exam data storage and provides convenient exam reports.

The AortaScan, BladderScan and FloPoint tests can be conducted easily in only a few minutes by your staff. The CPT/HCPCS Codes for:

are approved for reimbursement by Medicare and many private insurers.
