FAQ

1. How accurate is the bladder scanner?

   • The BladGo 2.0 Handheld Bladder Scanner uses advanced algorithms that ensure high accuracy in measuring bladder volume. It can accurately measure bladder volume, even in cases where the bladder has an abnormal shape. This is due to its ability to handle various patient types with different bladder conditions and its use of multiple bladder metrics. The scanner's precision is also enhanced by the fact that it can accommodate different patient modes (e.g., Male, Female, Child, Obesity), which allows for tailored measurements depending on individual needs. While the device provides accurate readings, it's always a good practice to consult healthcare professionals for critical assessments or in cases requiring advanced diagnostics.

     
     

2. How do you use a hand held bladder scanner?

   • Using the BladGo 2.0 Handheld Bladder Scanner is simple and effective for measuring bladder volume quickly and accurately. To start, power on the device and select the appropriate patient mode (male, female, child, obesity, or female with hysterectomy) based on the patient's profile. Position the patient comfortably on their back, exposing the lower abdomen for easier access to the bladder area. You may optionally apply ultrasound gel for better sound wave transmission. Once the probe is placed on the bladder area, activate the scan by pressing the scan switch on the ergonomic probe. Hold the probe steady while the device scans, and it will display the bladder volume on the 3.5” LCD screen. You can save the data and images to a USB drive using the U-Disk feature for future reference. The device also offers two modes: Lite Mode, which is user-friendly for beginners, and Expert Mode, which is designed for healthcare professionals requiring more advanced settings. This portable scanner is ideal for non-invasive, precise bladder measurements at home or in clinical settings.

     
     

3. How much does a bladder scan cost?

   • The cost of a bladder scan can vary depending on where it's performed and the type of scan used. In a clinical or hospital setting, a bladder ultrasound typically costs between $100 and $500 per scan, with additional fees for consultations or follow-up appointments. For those looking for more convenience, investing in a portable bladder scanner for home use, such as the BladGo 2.0, can be a more cost-effective solution in the long run. While the initial price of a portable scanner ranges from $3,799.00 to $4,799.00, this allows for repeated, non-invasive scans at home without additional costs per use. Insurance may cover the cost of medical bladder scans in some cases, but it's best to confirm with your provider. Though the upfront cost for home-use devices can be significant, it can save money over time, especially for individuals who need regular monitoring of bladder health.
