Technology

BladderScan BVI 9400

NeuralHarmonics^® - Advanced technology in the science of ultrasound

NeuralHarmonics enables quick and more accurate bladder volume measurements than conventional 2-dimensional ultrasound.

In bladder volume measurements, a unique second harmonic differentiates the bladder, urine, and hypo-echogenic regions such as the uterus. This results in a better analysis, a faster answer, and a more accurate measurement from the device.

FloPoint Elite

The advanced technology in the FloPoint Elite Uroflow System provides an accurate and convenient method to assess bladder function. The FloSensor records and transmits patient voiding data wirelessly to the ScanPoint^® Remote.

Key measurements provided to assess bladder function include:

Peak flow and average flow
Time to peak flow
Voided volume
Void time

This data can help determine, for example, if the patient is obstructed and requires treatment. ScanPoint image management software also enables exam data storage and provides convenient exam reports.

Reimbursement

The BladderScan and FloPoint tests can be conducted easily in only a few minutes by your staff. The CPT/HCPCS codes for:

Post-void residual	(51798)
Uroflowmetry	(51741)

are approved for reimbursement by Medicare and many private insurers.
