CORE Troubleshooting Guide December 14, 2022 20:25 Updated Here you’ll find information about what to do if something goes wrong, such as the Eko CORE not performing as expected. Below are simple steps to follow to help you get back on track. Preliminary troubleshooting Triaging issues with the Eko CORE Preliminary troubleshooting This preliminary check makes sure that you have a smooth session with the patient. If there are issues, you can catch them privately and follow this troubleshooting guide before you need to meet with the patient. Before your patient exams, check the Eko CORE and Eko App. Turn them on. Pair them. Make sure the CORE and your mobile device are fully charged. Make sure you can see the waveform in the app when you start a spot check, full cardiac exam, or quick record. Below is a list of potential issues you might see and how to respond. Device Possible case Your response CORE Audio playing on loop (not stopping or responding). Turn off, turn on again, and retry. If this still happens, use a backup device and contact Eko support. Eko App Not responding, responding slowly, or crashing. “Kill” app and reopen it. Eko App See “weak Bluetooth” warning messages. Confirm no other devices are connected to Bluetooth, and disconnect them if there are. Confirm you're connected to Wi-Fi. Confirm there's no physical obstruction between the Eko CORE and Eko App. Try to keep Eko devices at least 2 meters away from all radiofrequency emitters, including Wi-Fi routers, and radios. Limit the distance between Eko CORE and Eko App. Eko App Recording fails because of “weak Bluetooth” connection.
