If you're an enterprise institution, go to the SENSORA™ Help Center.
The cardiac exam feature* in the Eko App guides you through a 4-point cardiac assessment in these areas of the chest:
-
Right Upper Sternal Border (RUSB)
-
Left Upper Sternal Border (LUSB)
-
Left Lower Sternal Border (LLSB)
-
APEX
Note: Your Eko App screens may differ from what's shown here.
You can use the Listen screen to first auscultate, and then choose to start the guided cardiac exam. The Eko App guides you through each auscultation position starting with the RUSB. Use the included visual as a placement reference. If you need to skip a position, tap Skip Position.
The Eko AI analysis* automatically checks for signs of heart disease at every position. Results show on the cardiac exam summary screen when all four positions are complete. From this screen, you can manage the exam by sharing it, adding notes, assigning it to a patient profile, and so on.* Recordings are also automatically taken for every position.
Here are the overall steps for taking a cardiac exam:
The Eko App should automatically connect your Eko device via Bluetooth pairing after the first time you use the app. If you need help with connecting your device, see instructions here.
Note
The images shown below are for the CORE 500™. What is shown on the waveform, such as PCG or ECG, varies by Eko device. Learn more here.
