abdominal muscles relaxed.

9. Hold the probe steady until the scan is nished.
When you hear the end-scan tone, the scan is complete.
10. Using the Results screen, verify that the aim was accurate.
If no arrow is displayed, then the
bladder was completely contained
within the scanning cone. The
measurement is accurate.
If a solid arrow is displayed, then
the bladder was mostly inside the
scanning cone. The results are
satisfactory, but in order to ensure
accuracy, Verathon recommends
that you re-aim in the direction of
the arrow and perform the scan
again.
If a ashing arrow is displayed,
then the scan is off-target, and the
bladder was not enclosed within
the scanning cone. Re-aim the
probe in the direction indicated by
the ashing arrow and perform the
scan again.
11. Note the patient’s bladder volume.
The BVI 6100 instrument will not save this measurement after a new scan is begun.
