The Verathon BladderScan BVI 9400 is a portable, noninvasive ultrasound device that quickly and accurately measures the volume of the urinary bladder. It was discontinued in 2019 and is no longer supported by Verathon, which now promotes the newer Bladderscan i10

• Noninvasive and easy to use: The device measures bladder volume using ultrasound technology, eliminating the need for invasive catheterization. A sonographer is not required to operate the scanner.
• NeuralHarmonics® technology: This proprietary technology uses a 3D ultrasound process to provide more accurate bladder volume measurements than conventional 2D ultrasound. It also helps to more accurately differentiate the bladder from the uterus in postpartum women.
• Multiple modes: The scanner has distinct modes for different patient types: men, women (including a mode for women who have not had a hysterectomy), and small children.
• Onboard printer: The unit includes a thermal printer to provide immediate patient records or for reimbursement procedures.
• Data management: With the ScanPoint® image management software, exam data can be transmitted to a computer or Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.
• Portability: The compact, battery-operated console and handheld probe make it easy to transport and use in various clinical settings, such as hospital rooms, the ER, or the ICU.
• Patient data features: Voice annotation can be added to exams to retain valuable patient data.

• Assessing urinary conditions: Helps in diagnosing urinary retention, postoperative urinary retention (POUR), and other urological concerns.
• Preventing complications: Reduces the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and eliminates unnecessary and potentially traumatic catheterization.
• Improving efficiency: Reduces costs and saves staff time by providing quick and reliable bladder volume measurements.
• Aiding diagnosis: Can help differentiate between types of incontinence to determine appropriate care.
