With the CORE 500™’s newest audio innovation, TrueSound™, the sounds are sharper and more refined when compared to the previous generation of CORE, with less distortion and less artifact. It was like using a telemetry monitor and listening to a patient at the same time - the amplification and noise cancellation were particularly helpful! The battery would last me several shifts - I would charge it once a week, leaving it plugged in for the weekend, then it would be ready to go Monday and last the whole week. My colleagues would notice the full-color display and ask about it. They were pretty amazed that it was able to give a full rhythm strip right on the stethoscope and take recordings when connected to the Eko App. But then I used it on patients when I wasn’t sure whether they were in atrial fibrillation (AFib) or just having premature beats. I could throw that device on their chest and clearly identify a premature ventricular beat based on the rhythm strip. It’s also beneficial because you can identify when murmurs occur during the cardiac cycle, systole vs diastole. There’s a big difference between the two, and making that distinction is difficult even among a lot of seasoned physicians because the diastolic murmurs aren’t as common, and they’re more difficult to hear.

With the CORE 500™, I was able to catch rhythms I couldn’t see before… [For example], I might not hear aflutter, but if the ECG looked funny, it would prompt me to listen longer.

I love that my assessment can be amplified. It gives me the confidence I need to make better decisions for my patients.

I'm a paramedic, and the noise cancellation alone makes it worth the investment...you'll hear and identify what you're listening for with ease.

I've picked up on AFib undiagnosed in the pre-op area in a patient who had documented sinus rhythm on their pre-op ECG.
