The BladderScan® BVI 9600, with AortaScan® mode, is a portable, 3D ultrasound instrument with dual functionality. In AortaScan mode, it quickly, accurately, and noninvasively measures the diameter of the abdominal aorta; in BladderScan mode, it measures urinary bladder volume.

BladderScan Mode

When scanning the bladder with BladderScan mode, the BVI 9600 measures urinary bladder volume and post-void residual (PVR). It helps assess urinary retention and postoperative urinary retention (POUR), evaluate many common urological conditions, prevent unnecessary catheterization, and helps reduce rates of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). These can help eliminate unnecessary trauma to patients as well as improve the efficiency of healthcare professionals. It also has been proven to reduce costs and saving staff time to focus on other jobs and patients.

AortaScan Mode

When scanning the Aorta with AortaScan mode, the BladderScan 9600 provides a measurement of the abdominal aortic diameter. This helps physicians identify the presence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using Verathons patented Vmode technology. AortaScan mode was designed to be a quick, easy-to-use tool for measuring the diameter of the abdominal aorta without the need for a sonographer.
