Important Information
Product Description
The BladderScan BVM 9500 is a portable ultrasound instrument that provides
noninvasive measurements of urinary bladder volume, bladder wall thickness and
Ultrasound-Estimated Bladder Weight (UEBW). The device consists of an ultrasound
Probe that scans the patient’s bladder and a compact, battery-operated Console that
provides an array of measurement-related information.
The BladderScan BVM 9500 is noninvasive and comfortable for the patient. It is quick,
accurate, reliable, and easy to use. When the user releases the scan button, within
seconds, the BVM 9500 measures ultrasonic reections on multiple planes inside the
body and produces a three-dimensional image. Based on this image, the BladderScan
BVM 9500 calculates and displays the bladder volume, bladder wall thickness and
UEBW. A sonographer is not required.
Patent-pending NeuralHarmonics® technology (abbreviated from “neural network
harmonics”) in the BVM 9500, sharpens accuracy and accelerates speed of bladder
volume measurement. Volume measurements made with NeuralHarmonics technology
are more accurate than those from conventional two-dimensional ultrasound, as they are
based on a more complex, multifaceted image of the bladder. This technology, applying
multi-spectral analysis to a robust data set, helps reduce margin of error and minimize
uncertainty in essential measurements of bladder function.
BladderScan® BVM 9500
If needed, after a scan has been taken, a unique aiming icon guides the operator to
optimal Probe placement with a comprehensive display showing the bladder in two crosssectional images verifying that a complete scan has been achieved. Bladder volume,
patient type, directional aiming with real-time feedback, battery status, and usage rate
indicators are all displayed on the device’s LCD screen.
BladderScan BVM 9500 measurements can be printed via an onboard printer or
transmitted using HIPAA-compliant ScanPoint® image management technology for
storage and archiving on Verathon® servers. Stored exams can be accessed at any time
from your ofce’s computer for viewing or printing. (NOTE: Use of ScanPoint software is
optional.)
Exam results may also be transmitted to a computer running ScanPoint with QuickPrint
software via a proprietary wireless connection. ScanPoint with QuickPrint allows the user
to archive data, calibrate the device, update software, print, and transfer data through a
Web-based interface.
A Calibration Targeting System, consisting of a spiral-shaped calibration target along with
a special calibration container, allows the user to easily calibrate the device by scanning
a known target.
The BladderScan BVM 9500 system also includes a universal battery charger for
the custom, user-replaceable Lithium Ion battery incorporated in the system. The
BladderScan BVM 9500 may be mounted on a wheeled cart which holds the instrument
securely and provides a holder for the Probe and a bottle of ultrasound gel.
