Description
Verathon BVI 9400
The Verathon BladderScan BVI 9400 is a portable, noninvasive 3D ultrasound system designed for accurate measurement of urinary bladder volume and post-void residual (PVR). It is widely used in clinical settings to assess urinary retention and bladder function without the need for catheterization, helping improve patient comfort and safety.
Powered by advanced NeuralHarmonics technology, the system uses intelligent neural network algorithms to capture and analyze multiple ultrasound images. These images are reconstructed into a precise three-dimensional model of the bladder, enabling fast, automated volume calculations within seconds. This technology minimizes operator dependency and ensures consistent, reliable results across different users.
The device features a lightweight handheld probe paired with a compact console equipped with a color LCD display. The probe performs a 360-degree scan across multiple planes, providing comprehensive bladder visualization. Its intuitive user interface allows healthcare providers to perform scans quickly, making it ideal for fast-paced environments such as hospitals, emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities.
Clinically, the BladderScan BVI 9400 supports a wide range of applications, including the evaluation of urinary retention, monitoring of post-operative bladder function, and management of urinary incontinence. By reducing the need for unnecessary catheterization, the device helps lower the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) while enhancing overall patient care.
In addition to its diagnostic capabilities, the system improves workflow efficiency through features such as voice annotation, onboard printing, and data management integration. These functions allow seamless documentation and easy access to patient records, supporting better clinical decision-making and streamlined operations.
The BVI 9400 is designed to accommodate various patient types, offering multiple scanning modes for adults, pediatric patients, and female patients without hysterectomy. Its rechargeable battery supports extended use, making it suitable for high-volume clinical environments.
Although now succeeded by newer models, the BladderScan BVI 9400 remains a reliable and widely recognized solution for noninvasive bladder volume assessment, known for its accuracy, ease of use, and contribution to improved patient outcomes.
