The BioCon bladder scanners will display volumes between 0 and 999 ml. If a bladder contains more than this the scanner will display 999+. NB: An empty bladder can be difficult to locate and may not be visible on the screen. To find small/empty bladders it is recommended to aim the ultrasound rays towards the patient's feet (to see the bladder neck).

No. The BioCon bladder scanners are bladder volume measurement devices however, prior to obtaining the reading, a live image of the bladder is displayed to help locate the bladder for greater accuracy (pre-scan).
