Verathon^® is pleased to introduce a new, innovative diagnostic tool for Urologists. The BladderScan® BVM 6500 measures UEBW (ultrasound-estimated bladder weight) and bladder volume noninvasively, using patented, 3-D VMODE® ultrasound technology. The BVM 6500 is the first "2 in 1" handheld scanner that measures both UEBW and bladder volume.

Some recent clinical studies indicate that bladder wall thickness and related bladder wall mass may correlate with bladder outlet obstruction. The BVM 6500 provides a noninvasive means of assessing bladder wall mass via portable ultrasound.

The BladderScan® BVM 6500 is:
	Fast
	Easy to use
	Noninvasive
	Accurate
	Handheld and portable

Verathon^® is pleased to introduce a new Bladder Assessment Kit to help primary care physicians identify, prescribe for, and treat minor urinary complaints, while helping to ensure that patients with more serious conditions are referred to an urologist.

Common bladder conditions are prevalent among American adults, but seriously under diagnosed.

With the help of the Bladder Assessment Kit, primary care physicians can make assessment of bladder function an integral part of the office visit. The kit provides the essential tools and knowledge base, including a BladderScan^® bladder volume instrument, a FloPoint^® Uroflowmeter, patient questionnaires, reimbursement assistance, and focused, clinical training in urology for primary care.

The convenient, handheld Mobile BladderScan® BVI 6400 instrument measures and stores a minimum of ten patient bladder volume exams, each associated with a voice annotation, so healthcare providers can monitor patients’ bladder function on their rounds. Detailed reports of stored exam results can be viewed later using the ScanPoint® online imaging and calibration service. The Mobile BladderScan^® is noninvasive, easy to use, and quickly provides accurate results.

BladderScan^® technology assists in the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions, and is clinically proven to prevent unnecessary catheterization; reduce the risk of upper urinary tract damage, infection, and other catheter-related complications; and improve satisfaction with care provided among both staff and patients. With multiple exam storage and voice annotation capabilities, the Mobile BladderScan^® provides enhanced performance and ease of use.
