Hi, I'm here both as a med student and a potential investor. I have no idea about the stock market but some experience with using similar devices. Let's exchange some knowledge! what is the meaning of this 'merge' between butterfly and longview? in your opinion will it be better to buy a stock before or after the spac and why? If i buy it before, and later on BFLY goes up 10%- what will be my profit? If you have questions about this in the medical aspect I'll be happy to try and help.
@@allonofer7514 so basically long view acquisition and butterfly stock merged through a spac or special purpose acquisition company. All this means is that long view has lots of capital (or cash) on hand and was looking for investment opportunities, while butterfly inc conveniently needed capital to operate more efficiently. Also, it does not really matter if you bought before or after the merger, as the shares will transform to butterfly, which now holds the ticker or stock name bfly. I hope that answered your questions. I have a few for you. Just how important is a mobile ultrasound device? Do you see this making an impact on the medical world years from now?
Wonderful comments i really appreciate a lot, correspond to my administratoron what..sa..pp to assist you make money in BTC +..1..3..5..2..9..0..0..6..1..3..3🇺🇸🇺🇸💯✅
This Butterfly device is a game-changer. $2000 is nothing for a Doctors office or hospital or midwife. A normal ultrasound machine costs $20,000 to $50,000 and they will become antiquated.
A high end ultrasound system can cost $200K however a system such as Dr. Haider is reviewing does have a niche but will never replace a high end system. It's good to triage a patient in the ED or for quick assessment.
I'm not 100‰ convinced on investing in them. Its a risky play because theres also lots of other products like these from phillips and one more (clairinx or something like that). I might take a small position in them but not too much.
For what they are, they are just ok. Add up the price of the probe and subscription fees and you will find you could get something way better for the price.
As a doctor, who performs many different ultrasound exams on daily basis, this is a dream came true. They only need to ditch the cable and make it wireless like the GE with another curvilinear probe on the other end.
4th yr med student. i have the chinease knockoff version of the ge v scan air. the mslp80 or something. same linear and convex probes, i think mine is like 112 elements instead of the 128 that the GE has on the convex probe. have been using it for the last 2 years on hospital and OB rotations. cost me about 1300 bucks usd all said and done. im definately the coolest medstudent in the room when i whip it out during codes and help the doc. really is the future of poc us
@@vevenaneathna It spares a ton of time too instead of taking the patient to US room. I’m curious what kinda device do you connect it to as a screen. Also is the image quality good and reliable to secure the diagnosis compared to the big ultrasound machine?
@@sherifbatawy i use an older 5th gen ipad mini coz its the biggest screen i can fit in my white coat pocket. the image quality is between the butterfly and the pedistool ultrasound i see in all the US hospitals. I think its sonosite or fujifilm? the laptop looking one on the pedistool. it uses wifi to connect. ive had to experiment with a couple apps and found that my technique actually greatly influences the refresh rate, it really is made to scan from the patients right side while using your right hand to reach across the patient. I do think the butterfly has better cardiac image quality, probably because of the better beam steering. I wouldnt use it for anything cardiac, but its more than adequate for anything OB (thats the easiest), and good at finding pleural edema, and liver/kidney stuff. ive been able to find gallstones/cbd dilation, but have not been able to image pancreatitis. thats probably down to my technique, ive been told not to mess with the pancreaus. ive visualized a bakers cyst in a ped's pt and was able to show my preceptor it was a simple cyst. I tried finding the shrapnel in my knee but i couldnt find it, probably too superficial or again technique. good at visualizing elbow effusion and gave us enough evidence to order an xray to find an olectron fracture.
What do you think about the viability of this for paramedics? Mostly for vascular access / assessment , maybe even to observe cardiac exacerbation obviously nothing definitively diagnostic just for additional on scene information. Thanks for the awesome video!
Zee I def thing it can have a role with paramedics if they are adequately trained. If anything - for vascular access and perhaps even basics for cardiac arrest etc. It will come down to comfort level and clinical competency for what it's utilized for. We shall see!
@@Yourheartdoc Agreed! Hopefully with the expansion of the availability of such devices an expansion of educational resources will come to match it. I could definitely see weekend classes / seminars for health care providers providing a good intermediary point for clinical guidance / training for pre - hospital specific applications.
I’m actually a paramedic in Minnesota and the service I work has these on our trucks. We use them for sliding signs, cardiac views (parasternal long and subxiphoid) and right upper quadrant (looking for free fluid). They are awesome for trauma patients and cardiac arrest patients and I really hope prehospital POCUS becomes more common.
Very nice review. The new BiQ+ does Pulsed Wave Doppler. But not calculations, yet. I think it could, because they got OB calculations approved. So probably just a matter of time and FDA approval. I am glad you brought up the cord!. The new BIQ+ has a user-replaceable cord, but is still not optimal. However, Wireless is in the works. With Bluetooth 5, would probably have the bandwith to do it.
The subscription fee is to save all your images onto their cloud network. Even with this fee from what Ive read and researched is way cheaper then the traditional ultrasound.
The wiring exit from the device begs for a stiffer strain relief. This is an engineering oversight by the manufacturer. Also, considering what a new I-Phone costs, this is reasonable.
Thanks for the great review Dr. Haider. As a new attending (MSK medicine) without access to a real Ultrasound machine, this seems to be the only affordable option. Maybe the only fix for that cord is to wrap it in tons of electrical tape 😂
Tried the Butterfly iQ, but not very impressed with the quality. I found the Clarius and Lumify superior in quality. But given this is cheaper you get what you pay for.
Reinforce the cord with electric tape wrapping. Wrap the base of the cord and surround 6 inches several times with electric tape. That is how I am still using my 10-year old iphone cables, reinforced them early on
For all investors in the comments section. This company will start making profit only when they expand their market to the 3rd world countries!! Countries where a high end ultrasound machine is a luxury.
even $2k for them would be expensive. Not to mention they probably don't own an iphone. Hopefully once this company scales up, they can make cheaper devices
this is really good as most issues can be seen immediately and u can send the patient for further investigations thereafter.. it saves time, cuts down anxiety of patient, better assessment, etc etc.. yes perhaps they shud improve on the physical cord of the device... i wud buy 1 if i know how to read that stuff on the screen lol... or if there is a Teledoc who will take the video and give me an initial diagnosis
cool. have you used other handheld devices like this? I suppose you liked this one enough to buy a replacement for your old one as opposed to buying a wireless one like the GE vscan.
its very expensive itseems for general public. so they sells these to Doctors. But Doctors may have already cheaper equipment so why would they buy ?. Its ease of use for sure. Even if public buys this equipment it would be nothing more than a toy as he cant analyze data medically. Im not convinced at all to invest in this stock now. Thank you Dr for your review.
It is cheaper for dr.s because just a regular used ge laptop ultrasound machine can be up to 10k... In USA, u might not see the demand for this technology(due to insurance) but in other countries dr.s or nurses are making a business of it. I wish, I knew about the ipo. Still not late at all I read somewhere they might be working with teladoc.
Very good information. Could venous mapping be done in obese patients, if used for venous endoablation procedure, could the fiber be clearly seen in its path through the superficial venous system? Thank you very much.
I haven't tried it for either but my guess is likely yes. Certainly for venaseal this would be usable. Very obese folks maybe tricky but again not certain
I have been looking at this device for the last year or so and found this video very helpful and consistent with other accounts that image quality is not up to "standard", much more expensive machines - including the Philips "Lumify" - despite the new technology with 9000 CMUT's in the probe - perhaps that can be improved with software changes. As with a previous comment I was shocked & disappointed to hear that there is no PW or CW Doppler. As a simpler (CW at least), older technology I had just assumed they would be there: before PW we could still get a lot of information on gradients/ flow patterns and the modality is still essential for high velocity jets eg in aortic stenosis. I hope that too can be a software addition - I will wait and see! Thanks again Dr Haider.
Are CW and PW very often used to complement quick-diagnosis? Or are they less often used, only in rare cases where complex ultrasound machines are needed?
If you are interested in actual real-time ("as it occurs") real-time teleultrasound technology (that will duplicate the originating ultrasound device's resolution up to & including 1980x1080p) I will refer you to my colleague Adam Wasserman (Adam.Wasserman@RMTCentral.com) who handles all of the company's international business, He can provide you with information about RMT's teleultrasound technology which is slightly different than this technology. That is, you need not be at the location with the patient & the sonographer. You'll be able to see the dynamic, streaming, real-time ("as they occur") at your workstation or iPad, iPhone &/or Android-based device. There are several other features & functions of this technology which may intrigue you, but I will let Adam amplify & clarify.
I have not been able to find a phone number of a dealer for the butterfly ultrasound, if you have one could you please give it to me, I´m a dermatologist from Colombia so I can not do it threw the butterfly page
Excellent device than can help patient quickly ascertain the true remedies for ailments. Most of the time we tend to see patients are being scared by doctors due to the hidden commitment to Hospitals, Corporate units of medicines and other obligation to stay in medical practice. Butterfly iQ+ will limit such scaring conditions of patient to find right diagnosis with this smart toolkit. Thanks to the maker and their support team towards inventing the small & portable device.
I'm wondering, are CDW and PWD very often used as quick-diagnosis tools, compared to other utilities this device has? I see Butterfly IQ more as a relatively cheap diagnosis enhancer rather than a replacement for standard ultrasound, would Butterfly IQ fit that role nicely?
If you are doing a lot of Echo, you may want to look at the NEW Mindray TE Air- great Echo IQ and with pulsed Doppler, color flow , measurements , and wireless.
10:44 -- "They also have a HIPAA-compliant cloud-based storage...." Can anyone who is actually & legitimately "IT knowledgable" tell me if this statement is really true? My impression was that PHI data items that were stored OUTSIDE of the medical organization's digital domain were, by definition, NOT HIPAA compliant! Does anyone have evidence-based (as opposed to opinion-based) knowledge one way or the other? THANKS!!
Hi, I am a telemedicine doc that uses bluetooth stethoscope technology which really blows. I can never hear anything and there is usually a bad sound delay. I use EKOS with one hospital system and some other wired steth that is horrible in another. I am considering advocating for this Ultrasound. Do you think it can replace it fully? The only issue is wheezing which obviously this cannot pick up.
Exactly costo prohibitive plus that monthly payment...if you missed a payment then what can you still use the machine????? the resolution seen in your images is little blurry
Looks good but in practice it may not be widely used because most doctors are not expert in ultrasound reading. For serious check up, cases would go to radiologists and they would use the conventional ultrasound machine anyway. Besides ambulance and military usage and under and developing countries, I don’t see significant application.
my take is It is handy diagnostic tool surely will speed up the process when you need to act quickly and I can see it would be extremely useful for a primary care doctor or EMD in an emergency to help evaluate the situation and relay the information to the ER . so they will know what to expect or look for upon arrival as a great starting point to speed up the process. On a side note Just curious that you made a big deal several times out of a cost of 2000 dollars for the tool? Surely you have spent a lot more than 2000 dollars in your practice for diagnostic equipment that may provide less value in assessing a problem.
From the business potential of ButterFly, they are having a reverse merger and getting listed on the US stock exchange. Do you think there is a big latent demand for this device since it is so affordable. How does this compare to Philips Lumify or GE VScan? If clinicians already have those devices, there wouldn't be a need for this device unless it is for replacement. Or how about ButterFly vs Clarius? Clarius is wireless and does not require annual subscription.
Actually Butterfly is the cheapest handheld device with acceptable quality. Clarius is double the price for a single probe. You would need at least two different Clarius probes (one superficial and one deep) to do all the different scans you can do with the Butterfly. So now it is 4x the price! Lumify and GE are even more expensive than Clarius.
You can ask someone to purchase it for you from inside USA and ship it to you. Though for the company, it is not legal. But i don't think they would mind turning a blind eye to this 😁
Hey there, I graduated from ultrasound about 2 years ago, been doing echo for about 6 months... unfortunately the butterfly imaging for cardiac is mostly poor, specially for apicals. The device is pretty good for other ultrasound areas like abdomen and vascular and some superficial scanning
@@Demiigodd Hello, can you talk us mora about The Butterfly. I want to buy one to work in urgencies and primary attention. How do you see the limitations? thank you so much
@@cvitanicz Hi there. I'm an ER consultant and would like to answer to your question. this device is perfect for POCUS in Emergency departments where you are only looking for a quick and simple "yes or no" answers. Like in a patient with hypotension or dyspnoea. Does his heart look so bad that it can be the cause? Yes or no! (Not looking for the accurate estimation of EF or measurements of chambers). Is that kidney having back pressure? Is there intra-abdominal hemorrhage? Is this shoulder dislocated? Is it back in? Is this leg pain caused be a DVT? Also useful in getting arterial line, central line, difficult peripheral line...etc. so YES, this devise is actually made for ER and critical care units.
Use me as a "I'm just here to learn about the stock I bought before understanding what they do" button

I'm just catching the hype and riding the momentum up
@@captalks6209 Use some risk capital and sell after the merger in Q1 '21
For what they are, they are just ok. Add up the price of the probe and subscription fees and you will find you could get something way better for the price.
This is good, especially to practitioners in the rural areas without access to bigger machines.
How much will the landing cost be in Nigeria?

At 3:20 - Sounds like you should tape that part up, or add some kind of plastic tube so there's not so much bending at that point in the wire.

The app to operate the machine is a one time purchase with free upgrades. There is an extra charge for image storage and special apps.
Can it do ocular scans?
Yes it can. Used to do it with "small organ" preset, but they have added an "ocular" preset a couple of months ago.
From the business potential of ButterFly, they are having a reverse merger and getting listed on the US stock exchange. Do you think there is a big latent demand for this device since it is so affordable. How does this compare to Philips Lumify or GE VScan? If clinicians already have those devices, there wouldn't be a need for this device unless it is for replacement.
Or how about ButterFly vs Clarius? Clarius is wireless and does not require annual subscription.
clarius more than 2x the price
Actually Butterfly is the cheapest handheld device with acceptable quality. Clarius is double the price for a single probe. You would need at least two different Clarius probes (one superficial and one deep) to do all the different scans you can do with the Butterfly. So now it is 4x the price!
Lumify and GE are even more expensive than Clarius.
@@Dr3afrotto you posted half a comment?
Does it work without suscription?
He said yes, just that you have less advanced options regarding saving scan images & such
Has anyone used this for cvc insertions?
Yes 👍
I'd like to see an update for 2022
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me what type of video files can be recorded? And is there any different output to share with a different monitor?

Hello Doctor, I need to get hands on this device in India. Can you help me from where can I get this??
Not available yet in india
You can ask someone to purchase it for you from inside USA and ship it to you. Though for the company, it is not legal. But i don't think they would mind turning a blind eye to this 😁
How to buy this in india
Can I buy your old one?
Great video, are you able to get all the Parasternal, apical and subcostal views? I’m a echo student and wanting more practice with scanning.
Hey there, I graduated from ultrasound about 2 years ago, been doing echo for about 6 months... unfortunately the butterfly imaging for cardiac is mostly poor, specially for apicals. The device is pretty good for other ultrasound areas like abdomen and vascular and some superficial scanning
Demiigodd thank you for your detailed response !
@@Demiigodd Hello, can you talk us mora about The Butterfly. I want to buy one to work in urgencies and primary attention. How do you see the limitations? thank you so much

Hi there. I'm an ER consultant and would like to answer to your question.
this device is perfect for POCUS in Emergency departments where you are only looking for a quick and simple "yes or no" answers. Like in a patient with hypotension or dyspnoea. Does his heart look so bad that it can be the cause? Yes or no! (Not looking for the accurate estimation of EF or measurements of chambers). Is that kidney having back pressure? Is there intra-abdominal hemorrhage? Is this shoulder dislocated? Is it back in? Is this leg pain caused be a DVT?
Also useful in getting arterial line, central line, difficult peripheral line...etc.
so YES, this devise is actually made for ER and critical care units.
@@Demiigodd Does this device do dedicated CW doppler for cardiac valve area (orifice) calculations? Thanks.
