CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

Where EdgeCare Bladder Scanners Make a Clinical Impact

  • Emergency Medicine & Urgent Care
    Rapid PVR assessment helps differentiate urinary retention from other causes of abdominal pain. Non-invasive approach reduces unnecessary catheterization in high-risk patients.
  • Hospitalist & Acute Care Nursing
    Enables nurse-driven assessment for indwelling catheter management, post-surgical retention, and age-related dysfunction without delay.
  • Urology & Specialty Practices
    Supports diagnostic workup for lower urinary tract symptoms, overactive bladder, and outlet obstruction with non-invasive assessment.
  • Geriatric & Post-Acute Care
    Protects vulnerable elderly patients from unnecessary catheterization while providing accurate volume assessment for person-centered care.
  • Educational Institutions
    Supports clinical training and resident development with portable, accurate technology for realistic clinical education.
WORKFLOW ADVANTAGES

How EdgeCare Streamlines Clinical Workflows

  • Faster Point-of-Care Assessment: Measurement takes seconds vs. minutes for catheterization or laboratory ultrasound
  • Reduced Unnecessary Procedures: Objective PVR data supports evidence-based catheterization protocols
  • Nurse-Driven Implementation: Designed for nurse-led assessment, reducing physician time and ultrasound technician dependence
  • Integration with Existing Infrastructure: No new electrical infrastructure or facility upgrades required

FAQ

EdgeCare Bladder Scanner FAQs

Both deliver accurate PVR measurement with same core technology. Key difference: UH10 has standard LCD display (typical clinical use); UW20 has enhanced color LCD (detailed imaging visualization). Choose UW20 for advanced imaging capability or training.

EdgeCare validation studies show ±10% accuracy or ±25 mL (whichever greater)—clinically acceptable for PVR assessment and comparable to catheterization gold standard.
Yes. By providing objective PVR data, EdgeCare helps implement evidence-based protocols. Studies show 20–40% reduction in straight catheterization rates with non-invasive screening implementation.
Yes. EdgeCare is designed for nurse-driven point-of-care assessment. One-button operation and brief training (15–30 minutes) enable rapid adoption across nursing staff.
Most staff become proficient with brief hands-on training. Comprehensive training provided during deployment. Advanced training available for broader ultrasound competency development.
Full charge provides 8–10 hours typical clinical use. Recommend charging at shift end. Replacement batteries available for continuous-use facilities.
Yes. EdgeCare interfaces with most major EHR platforms via USB or network connection. Contact technical team with EHR details for compatibility confirmation and integration guidance.
Annual preventive service recommended to ensure accuracy and longevity. Service includes calibration verification, probe inspection, and software updates.
Yes. Portable, battery-powered design makes EdgeCare suitable for bedside assessment in homes, assisted living, and remote clinics—supporting distributed care models.
Pricing varies by model, quantity, condition (new vs. refurbished), and service options. Flexible lease, rental, and purchase options available. Contact sales for facility-specific quote.
