CORE 500™ overview and indications

The CORE 500™ is a digital stethoscope with:

  • A full-color digital display.
  • Integrated electrodes for 3-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).
  • High definition audio that includes sound amplification, noise cancellation, and filters optimized for heart, lung, and body sounds.
  • Real-time heart rate.
  • Eko AI-supported disease detection, shown on the display when the Eko App is connected to the device*.
  • The ability to take and save recordings, and share them with others.*

The device includes a chestpiece, a detachable earpiece, and works with the Eko App mobile application. The CORE 500™ can amplify, filter, and transfer body sounds with the chestpiece diaphragm. It produces a 3-lead ECG through electrodes integrated around the chestpiece.

The Eko App is required to take recordings with the CORE 500™ and view AI analysis results on the device’s screen.* You’ll also need it to visualize the phonocardiogram (PCG) and 3-lead ECG.

Indications

The CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope is intended to be used by clinicians to electronically amplify, filter, and transfer body sounds and 3-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms. The CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope also displays ECG waveforms and heart rate on the display and accompanying mobile application (when prescribed or used under the care of a clinician).

The data offered by the device is only significant when used in conjunction with clinician evaluation as well as consideration of other relevant patient data.

*Some features may require a paid Eko App membership.
