8. Other information
8.1 Sound processor and parts
• The sound processor is suited for use
in a home healthcare environment. The
home healthcare environment includes
locations such as homes, schools,
churches, restaurants, hotels, cars, and
airplanes, where equipment and systems
are less likely to be administered by
healthcare professionals.
• A sound processor will not restore normal
hearing and will not prevent or improve
a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions.
• Infrequent use of a sound processor may
not enable a recipient to attain full benefit
from it.
• The use of a sound processor is only part
of hearing rehabilitation and may need
to be supplemented by auditory and lip
reading training.
• The sound processor is a digital,
electrical, medical instrument designed
for specific use. As such, due care and
attention must be exercised by the
recipient at all times.
A discharge of static electricity can damage
the electrical components of the sound
processor or corrupt the program in the
sound processor. If static electricity is
present (e.g. when putting on or removing
clothes over the head or getting out of
a vehicle), you should touch something
conductive (e.g. a metal door handle) before
your sound processor contacts any object
or person. Prior to engaging in activities
that create extreme electrostatic discharge,
such as playing on plastic slides, the sound
processor should be removed.
• If disruptions keep occurring, please
contact your clinician to resolve the issue.
• For wireless functionality, only use
Cochlear Wireless devices or compatible
smart devices.
• No modification of this equipment is
allowed.
• Adult supervision is recommended when
the recipient is a child.
• Avoid exposing your sound processor to
X-ray radiation.
8.2 Serious incidents
Serious incidents are rare. Any serious
incident in relation to your device should be
reported to your Cochlear representative
and to the medical device authority in your
country, if available.
