You use Bluetooth pairing to connect the Eko device to the Eko App. This is how heart sound data is sent from the Eko device to the app. If the two aren’t paired or they have a poor Bluetooth connection, the app won’t receive the data.

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your iPad

2. Connect your Eko device

After a successful connection, the light on the Eko device will turn from flashing to solid. From now on, the app automatically connects to the Eko device when:

  • Bluetooth is turned on for your iPad, and

  • The Eko device is turned on.

Note

An error message shows if the Eko device isn’t connected to Bluetooth or connection is lost. You can retry connecting the Eko device with the app.
