Dear Nathan Sabich:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

{5}------------------------------------------------
# Summary of Technological Characteristics:
There are no technological characteristics and features that change the indications for use in this submission that are not previously evaluated and cleared in the predicate device. The iQ3 represents a new Butterfly iQ App compatible transducer.
As with the iQ and iQ+, the iQ3 uses a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array rather than a traditional crystalline piezoelectric array. The system remains battery operated and all image interaction and capture is with the existing iOS and Android host applications. The Bladder Volume and B-lines tools remain compatible with the images generated with the iQ3.
As with the iQ+. the iQ3 includes new printed circuit board assemblies and a next generation release of the CMUT array. Additionally, the iQ3 uses a new custom battery, a new lens material (butadiene synthetic rubber), and replaces the induction coil charging method with a direct contact charqing system.
# Summary of Safety and Non-Clinical Performance:
The Butterfly iQ3 Ultrasound System was developed and tested in accordance with internal procedures for safety, design quality, and documentation.
Verification and validation activities were designed and performed to demonstrate that the Butterfly iQ3 Ultrasound System meets predetermined performance specifications. The following standards in conjunction with in-house protocols were used to determine appropriate methods for evaluating the safe and effective performance of the device:
