9. CORE™ Use
Charge Battery
The battery in CORE™ will need to be charged; insert the included micro
USB cable into the USB port on the device and plug the other end into a
UL-certified USB wall charger. The LED will turn solid yellow, signifying that it is
charging. The LED will change to solid green when the device is fully charged.
The fully charged battery should last for at least 8 hours in continuous
transmission mode (ON, Bluetooth paired with Eko App).
NOTE: CORE™ will not turn on while it is plugged in and charging.
Power Off
When CORE™ is turned Off, analog rather than digital sounds will be
transmitted and heard from the stethoscope. "OFF" is when the toggle is
protruding from the surface of the volume buttons.
Power On
Depress the power slider to move the switch from the OFF to the ON position.
"ON" is when the toggle is flush with the surface of the volume buttons.
Test the Volume Level
CORE™'s sound level can be amplified in 7 increments up to 40X
amplification of an acoustic stethoscope. Change the volume level by
clicking the plus (+) and minus (-) volume buttons on the side of CORE™.
Bluetooth Pairing
First, enable Bluetooth on the selected mobile device. On the iOS device
go to Settings > Bluetooth > and tap the slider to turn Bluetooth ON.
The mobile device is now ready to record sounds from CORE™. If Bluetooth
pairing is unsuccessful, an error message will appear in the App and no
sounds will be recorded. If the Bluetooth connection is successful the LED
will turn from flashing white to solid white (See Section 6.1 for the LED
states of the device).
Setting up a PIN
Create a secure 4-digit PIN by logging in to the mobile application.
Navigate to the Menu screen by selecting the icon on the top left of the
Mobile App home screen.
Next, select Account Settings > Create Pin. Follow the instructions on the
screen to create and save a 4 -digit PIN. You will need to enter your PIN
twice for verification purposes.
Adding Notes to Recordings on Mobile App
To create notes on any patient recordings, log into the mobile application.
Access the list of patients by selecting the patients tab on the top right of the
home screen. Select the desired patient and select a recording to add notes to.
On the bottom of the recording screen, select the Notes icon. The Notes
icon looks like a Post-It® with writing on it. Select "Add Note" and begin
typing your note. Select the check mark to save.
Operating the CORE™

place the CORE™ stethoscope at the standard auscultation points on the
anterior chest wall as shown below with BLACK dots (refer to Figure 4a).
When using the CORE™ to assess and record lung sounds, it is best to
