5. Cautions and Warnings
To reduce the risk of device interference, keep CORE™ at least 1 meter
away from all RF emitters including Wifi routers and radios.
Follow all cleaning and disinfecting instructions included in this manual. Establish
and follow a cleaning and disinfecting schedule.
To reduce the risks associated with inaccurate data acquisition store and operate
this stethoscope only as instructed in this manual. It is highly recommended that
the battery be recharged within thirty minutes of the LED indicator turning orange.
Recharge the battery using only the provided USB power cord with a UL-certified
USB wall charger (not provided).
DO NOT immerse the stethoscope in a liquid or subject it to any sterilization
processes other than those described in this manual.
To reduce the risks associated with very strong electromagnetic fields avoid using
the stethoscope near strong radio frequency (RF) signals or portable and/or mobile
RF devices and/or specific RF emitters that are known sources of electromagnetic
disturbance such as diathermy, electrocautery, RFID, security systems (e.g.,
electromagnetic anti-theft systems, and metal detectors). Interference from hidden
RF emitters like RFID might cause packet loss and this will be visible as a "Poor
Bluetooth Signal" message on the mobile application. Move away from the hidden
RF emitter if this happens.
If sudden or unexpected sounds are heard, move away from any radio transmitting
antennas. Using accessories, transducers, and cables not produced by Eko Devices,
Inc. may result in increased RF emissions or decreased immunity of the CORE™.
Please read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these
instructions prior to using the CORE™. It is recommended that these instructions be
retained for future reference.
To reduce the risk of thermal hazard by excessive voltage, always use a CSA/UL/
CE marked USB-IF charger from a trusted manufacturer to charge the Eko CORE™.
CORE™ contains a Bluetooth wireless data link. The maximum radio frequency
field strength generated by the stethoscope is below three volts per meter, a level
that is considered safe to use with other medical devices. However, audio, video,
and other similar equipment may cause electromagnetic interference. If such
devices are encountered and cause interference, immediately move CORE™ away
from that device and/or turn the Bluetooth feature OFF.
Consult with your physicians when using the Eko device.
To ensure high quality sounds location and position of CORE™ placement should
be taken into consideration when auscultating.
To improve Bluetooth connection, reduce the distance and/or allow a line of sight
between Eko device and mobile device. The Bluetooth range will be reduced when
objects (walls, furniture, people, etc) are between the Eko device and a paired
mobile device.
To reduce risk of asphyxiation and strangulation, ensure that all components are
properly attached and stored. Keep away from children.
Allergic Reaction: Components of Eko CORE™ Digital Stethoscope are not known
to cause allergic reactions. DO NOT continue to use if you have an allergic reaction
to the device materials or if your skin appears irritated or inflamed after use. Check
with a healthcare professional before restarting use.
Warning: Do not use Eko CORE™ Digital Stethoscope in an oxygen-rich
environment!
