Split Studies/Move Content

With the flexibility that bedside ultrasound affords, exams may be uploaded together as one, but need to be split out into multiple for documentation, compliance, and workflow purposes.

Studies can be split, or content can be moved in Butterfly Cloud, or in the Butterfly iQ app.

Note that content can only be split, or moved in a draft study. It is not possible to perform these operations within finalized studies.

To split studies/move content from one study to another in Butterfly Cloud:

1. Navigate to the split icon in the top right of the exam screen within a draft study.

2. If you want to move content from the current study to a new draft, select “New draft.”If you want to move content from the current study to another draft study, select “Existing draft.”

3. On the next screen select the content to be moved. Images and cines can be enlarged by hovering. Tags, and Exam types will not be moved.

   1. For a new draft, study author(s), patient information, and archive will be copied over. It can be modified here if you choose prior to the content being moved

   2. For an existing draft, study author(s), patient information, and archive will be inherited from the new study.

4. Select next and the content will be moved for new drafts. For existing drafts, filter and select the study to move the content to.

To split studies/move content from one study to another in the Butterfly iQ app:

1. Navigate to the archive screen and select the study you wish to edit.

2. Select the three dots on the top right corner of the screen. From the popup, select Move content.

3. If you want to move content from the current study to another draft study, select Existing draft. If you want to move content from the current study to a new draft, select New draft in same archive.

4. On the next screen, select the captures you want to move to the new or existing draft. Select Continue.

5. If you chose to create a new draft, the new draft has now been created in the same archive and you can edit, finalize, or delete it as needed. Select View new draft to navigate to it. It will not contain any patient details from the prior study.

6. If you chose to move to an existing draft, select the draft you want to move the content to, then select Confirm. Select View draft to navigate to the study you moved the content to. Note that no patient details will transfer from one draft to another.
