Steps to wireless auscultation with the Eko DUO

User Manual and Indications for use can be found here. 

Please note: Make sure your preferred headphones are plugged into your phone. For DUOs purchased after September 24, 2020, you can try bluetooth headphones. We recommend using wired headphones for best sound quality but have beta tested with Airpods and got good sound quality with the following devices:

iOS: X, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max 

Android: Galaxy S10, Galaxy S8, Pixel 4

Step 1: Open the Eko App (available on iOS and Android) on your mobile device and turn on Play from Headphones under the Settings panel of the App.

Step 2: Plug your preferred headphones into your phone. If your DUO was purchased after September 24, 2020 you can try using bluetooth headphones. To see more information on compatible bluetooth headphones, visit here. 

Step 3: Remove the DUO stethoscope Earpiece by unscrewing it from the base of the DUO. 

Step 4: Turn on the DUO and pair to the Eko App. Once the device is paired to the App, you can put your mobile device in your pocket or hold in your hand during auscultation. 

Step 5: Put a glove / cover / stethoscope sleeve of your choice on the DUO so that the entire device is covered. This can be changed between patients and the device can also be cleaned with 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes (do not submerge device in liquid). 

Examples of covers: (you can also use surgical gloves)

Step 6: Auscultation. Use the covered/protected DUO for auscultation and sounds will be streaming live through your headphones. Note: ECG will not work when the DUO is covered with a protective sleeve.
