This user manual is intended to assist in the safe and effective operation of Butterfly iQ™. It is important that all
users review and understand all instructions in this user manual before operating the device, paying careful attention
to the warnings and cautions throughout the manual. The following conventions are used throughout this manual to
highlight safety concerns:
Ultrasound Benefits and Risks
Ultrasound is widely used because it provides many clinical benefits to the patient and has an excellent safety re-
cord. Ultrasound imaging has been used for over twenty years and there have been no known long-term negative
side effects associated with this technology.
Ultrasound Benefits
• Multiple diagnostic uses
• Immediate results
• Cost-effectiveness
• Portability
• Safety record
Ultrasound Risks
Ultrasonic waves can heat the tissues slightly. It is normal that the probe may feel warm to the touch while charging.
If you remove the probe from the charging pad before or immediately after charging is complete, it is recommended
that you allow the probe to cool down before use. Since the system limits patient contact temperature and will not
scan at or above 43°C (109°F), allowing the probe to cool down before use will optimize scan time performance.
