The bundle features the iQ+ Bladder probe, streamlined software, compact rolling cart, tablet and power splitter. Altogether, the ultrasound-based bladder scanner provides automated bladder volume calculations with 3D visualizations in seconds.

We listened to the unique needs of our nursing and bladder scanning customers and brought them a purpose-built, streamlined solution that meets their fast pace and high workload.”
