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.
The BladderScan BVI 3000 calculates bladder volume using patented Vmode® ultrasound technology. A BVI 3000 exam is quick, easy, and comfortable for the patient. When you press the scan button, within seconds, the instrument measures ultrasonic reflections on multiple planes inside the body producing a 3D image. Bladder volume measurements made with Vmode ultrasound are more accurate than those from conventional 2-dimensional ultrasound, as they are based on this more complex, 3D image.
BladderScan technology reduces unnecessary catheterization by nearly 50%2, lowering the risk of infection. Discover how BladderScan systems save time, minimize costs and maximize efficiency — no sonographer required.
Accurate measurements by 3D data sampling. The three-dimensional image of the bladder is composed of 12 planar scans. A large number of samples ensures that accuracy is not affected by irregular bladder morphology. Measurements can be performed in supine, sitting and standing positions. The 120∞ angle of the scan planes makes it easy to locate the bladder.
Accuracy has been validated many times under different clinical conditions. In their study1) Dr. Graham Coombes and Dr. Richard Millard concluded that the accuracy is as good as a routine catheterization.
Dependable measurements When replacing catheterizations with a technological way of volume measurement one must be certain that the results are as dependable. The unique positioning icon, as shown here, ensures that the operator will correctly position the sensor to sample the whole bladder. It guides the operator to angle the sensor in the required direction to obtain an accurate measurement. Therefore this procedure can be performed by the most relevant staff no matter what their seniority.
The BladderScan® printout shows the aiming icon of the final measurement taken. This confirms to the decision-maker that the reported value is dependable. This combination makes the method completely foolproof.
Fast results BladderScan® provides you with information about bladder volume much faster than a properly executed routine catheterization. An important benefit with the increasing workload of today. As a result, BladderScan® not only respects the patients' dignity and avoids trauma, but also saves valuable time for the physician and nursing staff.
Ultrasound machines uses high-frequency sound waves to display live images from the inside of your body. Ultrasounds do not use radiation, which is why this is the preferred method for viewing a developing fetus in the womb. Ultrasonic imaging uses frequencies of 2 megahertz or higher which allows resolution of small internal details in structures and tissues.
In medicine, most people associate ultrasound machines and scans with pregnancy. These ultrasound scans provide a first look and periodic checkups on how the fetus is doing throughout the pregnancy. However, Ultrasound machines have many other uses in the medical field. Your doctor might order an ultrasound scan if you’re having pain, swelling, or other symptoms that require an internal view of your organs. Some of the most common parts of the body that doctors and sonographers scan are:
