This is a particularly niche referral program for the recently approved Butterfly iQ handheld ultrasound.

Both the referrer and the referee get an additional 3-months of the pro software subscription.

(Edit: Seems that the program is just for the referee)

The Butterfly iQ is an all-in-one portable ultrasound that uses your mobile device as the screen. Current price is $3299 (inc GST) for the unit and then ($726/year) for the advanced software subscription.

Having used the product for a few months now - I can highly recommend this tool to other docs and think it is particularly well suited to practitioners working in Emergency, Anaesthetics, Rural GP, or Retrieval Medicine. The linear and curvilinear functions work very well, but I personally find the cardiac views less reliable. The shortfalls are outweighed by the portability, multiple-use cases and price compared to competitors (Philips Lumify, Clarius, GE Vscan).

Pro software includes:
*20 clinical applications
*B-Mode, Color Doppler
*M-Mode, Power Doppler
*1 User
*Unlimited secure storage and sharing
*PACS, VNA, Qpath™, and worklist integration guides
*Butterfly Education video learning platform
*Educational View Guidance
*Butterfly TeleGuidance™
*Unlimited software updates

      Really I would think that most of us have access to a USS machine readily.
      Maybe not private practices / GPs, but certainly anyone in any hospital should have access.

      In all honesty, the best reason for this is the tax deduction you can get and this is a "just in case" thing. My opinion, don't chew my head off for it. And I'll probably end up getting one anyway

  Thanks OP. I am sure it will be useful for some.

      It's tough times for handheld ultrasound devices.

  My understanding is that the referrer does NOT get 3 months.

    Just reread the scheme and it looks like you are correct, have adjusted the original post.

  Spent over $3k for a device, and still have to pay $700 per year?

  • 

    azukay on 10/07/2020 - 14:22

    You must be new to the medical industry, a lot of software in the medical industry have subscription fees. Some products you can choose to not pay a subscription, but you cease to get updates and access to any cloud based functions and storage.

    Also depending on the device with updates you can get the latest normative values for statistical analysis etc.

    3k for a portable ultrasound is not expensive at all if it performs well.

    • 

      TitanFather on 10/07/2020 - 23:26

      Absolutely. The competitors in this industry cost ~$8-10k for single probes. This is by far the cheapest option, and the company have pushed several software updates in the 3 months that I've had the device.

  I think it's disappointing how many features were disabled and only for "pro mode" or whatever.
  Sharing and saving images? Really? I mean I could screenshot if I wanted. I get it might be on thier secure server but surely it shouldn't be a paid feature to save it on your phone?
  Doppler is important to me so it makes it somewhat more worth it but it makes me feel a little disappointed how I have to keep paying for something that I would have thought is critical to USS. To me it's like saying buying an RGB keyboard, but needing to pay a subscription for it to light up. Maybe not the best analogy, but I'm just a little disappointed.

    Errr, one is an imaging device, the other is a treatment device.

  • 

    tm001 on 12/07/2020 - 00:22

    Not at all. The OP's device is an imagining tool while your link is to a device which just produce ultrasound.
    It is like to compare a $1000 infrared camera to a $30 heater.

  How does this compare with the Phillips portable one??
  Does it include training tutorials??

    TitanFather on 10/07/2020 - 23:22

    Mike Stone (World renowned US ED Physician has partnered with their education branch and they have put out about 100 video tutorials using the iQ)

    Philips generally has better quality images, but costs 3x as much for a single probe.
