IMPORTANT INFORMATION

OVERVIEW

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The BladderScan i10 system provides noninvasive measurement of urinary bladder volume. The system
calculates the bladder volume using ImageSense™, a proprietary Verathon artificial intelligence algorithm
that draws on real‑world data to create a consistent evaluation of the bladder's location, size, and shape.
The primary components of the system are a console and a probe. The console's touchscreen displays
critical information such as bladder volume, directional aiming with real‑time feedback, configuration and
administrative settings, and indicators for battery level and charging status. The touchscreen also provides
most of the system's controls, both during exams and between them. A clinician with appropriate access
permission can use the touchscreen to retrieve stored exams at any time.
The console includes a bay for a rechargeable lithium‑ion battery. When the console is connected to external
power, it charges the battery.

STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE

The BladderScan i10 system is an ultrasound device intended to be used for measuring the urine volume in
the bladder noninvasively.
