Eko CORE™ Digital Attachment

The Eko CORE Digital Attachment or Eko CORE is a Bluetooth-enabled device that attaches to and enhances a traditional stethoscope. The CORE Digital Attachment is compatible with most popular adult and pediatric stethoscope models from 3M™ Littmann®, ADC, WelchAllyn, MDF, and Medline with no cutting necessary. CORE is compatible with many other stethoscope brands and models, but there are no performance guarantees when using other stethoscope brands or models.

Primary features of CORE are:

• Advanced disease detection
• Up to 40x amplification
• Active noise cancellation
• One-tap app pairing
• Wireless listening
• Analog and amplified modes
• Heart sound visualization (PCG)
• Telehealth capabilities
• Adult and pediatric tunable diaphragms
• Unlimited recordings

The Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope is a Littmann Cardiology IV Stethoscope that is pre-assembled with the Eko CORE Digital Attachment.

The Eko CORE Digital Attachment is manufactured and tested by Eko and is built to attach to and enhance most traditional stethoscopes.

When the Eko App is connected and used with a compatible digital stethoscope, Eko’s FDA-cleared software automatically checks for signs of heart disease.

The Eko App will summarize any findings with an intuitive 15-second recording. These findings aren’t a diagnosis but are intended to aid the clinician in reaching a diagnosis accurately, quickly, and confidently.

The Eko CORE Digital Attachment comes with a 2-year warranty which is warranted against any defects in material and workmanship.

All stethoscopes purchased on the Eko website are backed by a 100% refundable, 75-day trial. We offer free returns within 75 days of receiving your stethoscope.
