scan again using the appropriate adult setting (for a larger
scan depth of 23cm).
−Clean the probe before and after with detergent wipes in
accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines. Apply
ultrasound gel to the probe.
−Ensure the patient is in the supine position with abdominal
muscles relaxed.
−Position the probe midline on the patient’s abdomen
approximately 3cm above the pubic bone.
−Ensure the patient icon on the top of the probe is facing
towards the patient’s head/feet.
−Angle the probe slowly under the patient’s pubic bone –
towards the patient’s feet (without moving the head of the
probe).
−Press scan (once) either on the probe or on the console
touchscreen – you are now in the pre-scan window.
It is not necessary to keep moving the probe head just a slight adjustment of angle or change of pressure.

FURTHER INFORMATION
EPR: you can download readings to your electronic patient record (EPR), you will need to install CUBEPro software to do this.
WiFi:the BioCon-1100 has WiFi capability.
Barcode reader: your BioCon-1100 bladder scanner can also be used with an Mcube barcode reader for patient and user
identification, rather than manually entering details.
Consult the operator’s manual for more details.
THE BIOCON-1100 SHOULD BE CLEANED AND DISINFECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
MANUFACTURER’S GUIDANCE AND TRUST RECOMMENDATIONS.
OTHER SUPPORTING MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE.
Between scans, monitor the current volume versus the max volume to check all scans are giving consistent readings, this
will build your confidence and scanning technique.
Automatic correction function compensates for a non-centred bladder .
Scan again if bladder not fully captured within the crosshairs.
Typically:
Large pink cross identifies a larger bladder
Small pink cross identifies asmall bladder, (~less than 50ml)
Smaller bladders are not easy to locate or visualise and you may need
to apply a little more pressure.
It is not essential to align the pink cross with the green centre line.
It is important to have the green vertical line near the centre of the bladder.
It is recommended that you do 2-3 scans per patient.
Scan guide (optional):for probe placement assistance.
Find the biggest view of the bladder (black image):
angle your probe slowly, ensuring the green centre line
is near the centre of the bladder.
Capture the scan:hold the probe still and press the
scan button again or tap the scan icon on the
touchscreen.
Tap to manually enter patient information or enter via barcode if available.
