With the patient supine, apply gel

Have the patient lie in the supine position with abdominal
muscles relaxed.

Palpate the patient's symphysis pubis (pubic bone). Place
an ample quantity of gel (with as few air bubbles as possible)
midline on the patient's abdomen, approximately one inch
(3 cm) above the symphysis pubis.

Aim toward the bladder

Standing at the patient’s right side, place the Probe on the
gel and aim toward the expected location of the bladder.
For most patients, this means tilting the Probe slightly
toward the patient's coccyx (tailbone) so the scan clears
the pubic bone.

Press the SCAN button

Press the SCAN button, located on the underside of the Probe.
As the scan progresses, sections of the bladder will appear on
the console screen. When you hear the end-scan tone, the
scan is complete.

Verify the scan

If the scan is “on target” all 8 arrows will flash on the Probe
screen, and the bladder will be shown in the center of the
crosshairs on the Console screen. Since no re-aiming is
needed, no arrows will appear on the Console screen.

Re-aiming

If the scan is “off target” the Probe will show an arrow
indicating the direction to move the Probe to be “on target.”
If the arrow is solid, it means you are slightly “off target.”
If the arrow is flashing, it means you are significantly “off
target” and must re-aim and re-scan. On the Console, the
bladder will not be on the crosshairs, and there will be an
arrow pointing in the direction for re-aiming.

To re-aim

To re-aim, note that the small dot at “6 o’clock” on the
Console target represents the feet of the patient. The
“12 o’clock” position represents the head of the patient
and the upper left quadrant (9-12 o’clock) represents the
right shoulder of the patient. This orientation should help
you in re-aiming the Probe to capture the complete bladder
in the ultrasound “cone.”

Pubic Bone

You may also see a screen that indicates the pubic bone is
“inside” the ultrasound cone. If this occurs, you may want
to re-aim and re-scan. Although the bladder may be shown
as centered in the ultrasound cone, and your measurement
could be complete, there is a possibility that the pubic bone
is obscuring some of the bladder. By re-aiming, you can
ensure you have captured the bladder fully inside the
ultrasound cone.
