Benefits
All patients with an indwelling urinary catheter are at risk for developing a CAUTI. CAUTI increases pain and suffering, morbidity & mortality, length of stay, and healthcare costs. Evidence shows that the risk of CAUTI is directly related to the duration of catheterization. Therefore the benefits of using noninvasive bladder volume instrument are as the following:
• Reduce unnecessary catheterization.
• Prevent CAUTI (Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection) through accurate scan and measurement results.
• Identify different types of urinary incontinence to determine the proper nursing
• Beneficial for the post-operative recovery.
• Cost efficiency and save inspection time.

Appropriate indwelling catheter use can prevent many infections and deaths every year. Hospital and other medical institutions are implementing evidence-based practices to prevent indwelling catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Measurement results of this device provides a solid base for medical staff to determine necessity of catheter insertion. This greatly improves patient care quality.
