2.5. Electrical Safety
WARNINGS!
• Before use, carefully inspect the probe. Always inspect the probe before and after cleaning,
disinfection, or use. Check the lens face, cable, housing, seams, and connector for signs of
damage such as cracks, chips, abrasions, or leaks. To avoid the risk of electrical hazards, do
not use the probe if there is any sign of damage. For Butterfly iQ+/ iQ3 probes, check that the
cable is fully installed.
• Dropping the probe may cause damage. Always inspect the probe before and after cleaning,
disinfection, or use. Check the lens face, cable, housing, seams, and connector for signs of
damage such as cracks, chips, abrasions, or leaks. To avoid the risk of electrical hazards, do
not use the probe if there is any sign of damage.
• Comply with IEC 60601-1 when using additional equipment along with the ultrasound device.
• Use of accessories, probes, and cables other than those specified or provided by the
manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because
it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• Electrical shock to the patient or operator may result if voltages exceeding IEC 60601-1 for
patient-applied parts are exceeded.
• The probe is designed to remain sealed. Do not attempt to open the probe or tamper with the
device internals, including the battery. Doing so may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• The cable on the Butterfly iQ is not designed to be removed by the user. The cable on the
Butterfly iQ+/ iQ3 is designed to be removed by the user, but the user should check that the
cable is fully installed to ensure the probe is protected from the external environment.
• Do not immerse the Butterfly iQ/ iQ+ probe beyond specified levels. Immersion beyond specified
levels may result in electrical shock.
• Butterfly iQ3 is an IPX7 rated device meaning it is waterproof and that the full device can be
fully submerged into 1-meter deep water for up to 30 minutes and still be able to maintain
functionality after that.
WARNINGS!
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Butterfly
iQ/ iQ+/ iQ3, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result.
