Butterfly iQ+ is a handheld ultrasound device from Butterfly Network that uses a single Ultrasound-on-Chip™ semiconductor probe to perform multiple imaging types across the whole body. It connects to compatible iPhones and Android devices and is FDA cleared for a broad range of clinical applications. iQ+ is Butterfly's accessible entry point into handheld POCUS for individual clinicians, practices, and training programs.

Butterfly iQ+ uses Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology — a CMUT-based semiconductor chip — instead of traditional piezoelectric crystals to generate and receive ultrasound waves. The probe connects to a compatible smartphone or tablet running the Butterfly app, which displays live imaging, provides AI-guided acquisition feedback, and connects to cloud storage and workflow tools through an active membership.

Yes. Butterfly iQ+ is FDA cleared for multiple clinical applications including cardiac, abdominal, lung, vascular, musculoskeletal, obstetric, and procedural guidance imaging. Clearance covers use across a broad range of clinical specialties and care settings.

Butterfly iQ+ can be used for abdominal imaging, lung ultrasound, vascular evaluation and access, musculoskeletal exams, obstetric imaging, and procedural guidance. The single probe covers all of these applications.

Butterfly iQ+ is well suited for individual clinicians and organizations looking for a cost-effective POCUS solution. Clinicians who need the highest image quality and most advanced AI tools for high-volume or high-acuity settings may prefer the Butterfly iQ3.

Butterfly iQ+ includes AI-powered image guidance tools that provide real-time feedback during scanning to help clinicians acquire better images. Additional AI features vary by membership tier. The iQ3 offers more advanced imaging capabilities. Both devices receive new AI features through software updates tied to an active Butterfly membership.
