From Verathon Inc.;
'Verathon Inc.'s (formerly Diagnostic Ultrasound Corp.) new Mobile BladderScan® instrument noninvasively performs and stores a minimum of ten patient bladder volume exams, each associated with a voice annotation, so health care providers can conveniently monitor patients' bladder function on their rounds. The easy-to-use, handheld instrument provides an alternative to diagnostic urinary catheterization, eliminating unnecessary urethral trauma to the patient. Studies have shown that BladderScan® technology prevents unnecessary catheterization, reduces the incidence of catheter-related urinary tract infections, and improves satisfaction with care provided among both staff and patients.'

Diagnostic Ultrasound Corporation updated its company name to Verathon Inc. at October 11, 2006.
Verathon Inc. formerly 'Diagnostic Ultrasound' was founded in 1984 by Gerald McMorrow. His vision was to use emerging ultrasound technology to develop noninvasive, easy to use medical devices that would fill unmet needs in health care.
In the beginning, the company was no more than one man working alone in his basement. Today, the company has 150 employees and has sold more than 100 million dollars worth of its products worldwide.
