MA-BUTTERFLY-NETWORK
Butterfly Network, Inc. (“Butterfly”, “the Company”) (NYSE: BFLY), a digital health company transforming care through the power of portable, semiconductor-based ultrasound technology and intuitive software, today announced the attainment of its European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) certificate for the Butterfly iQ+ ultrasound system. This additional certification allows Butterfly to release important new features to all existing and prospective European customers, including Pulse Wave Doppler (PWD) in a number of presets and its AI-enabled Auto B-Line Counter. The Company intends to release these additional functionalities within the second quarter 2024.
The Butterfly iQ Ultrasound Systems first obtained CE Marking in April 2019, and subsequently, iQ+ in early 2021 with an initial set of features. On May 26, 2021, EU MDR came into effect as the new governing framework for the production and distribution of medical devices in Europe. Since then, Butterfly has been actively working to obtain this additional certification necessary to release new, advanced capabilities to its European customers.
“EU MDR certification is one of the most challenging regulatory milestones for medical device companies entering the EU Market,” said John Soto, Sr. Vice President, International. “We are incredibly proud of this achievement, which underscores our commitment to providing innovative solutions to healthcare professionals worldwide. We are grateful for the patience of our existing and future international customers who have been eagerly awaiting these additional imaging tools for enhanced real-time measurement accuracy.”
The new feature release will extend to key European markets, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. The capabilities will also extend to other key markets where the CE Mark is accepted, such as Australia and New Zealand. Additional details on new functionality will be provided at launch next quarter.
While EU MDR allows Butterfly iQ+ devices to advance in the near term throughout Europe, it also serves as the foundation for the Company’s active pursuit of launching its new, feature-rich Butterfly iQ3 device in Europe later this year.
