Introduction This user manual provides information and instructions regarding the MED-EL Cochlear Implant (CI) System with the SONNET audio processor (Me1310). It includes descriptions of available parts, wearing options, and accessories for the SONNET, as well as instructions for troubleshooting and proper care of the external cochlear implant equipment. Your MED-EL Cochlear Implant System consists of the Mi1200 SYNCHRONY (hereafter referred to as SYNCHRONY), Mi1000 MED-EL CONCERT (hereafter referred to as MED-EL CONCERT), PULSARci 100 , SONATAti 100 , C40+ or C40 implants, the external SONNET audio processor (including FineTuner and D Coil), the external components and accessories, and any external hardware and software used by your audiologist. This symbol indicates information that is particularly relevant for parents of implanted children. IMPORTANT You are the operator of your / your child‘s SONNET audio processor, therefore we recommend that you read this manual in its entirety. Do not perform any maintenance activities other than those described in this manual (e.g. changing batteries). When performing these maintenance activities, always remove the audio processor from the ear. The adjustment to a cochlear implant and adequate fitting of the device are gradual processes that occur over time. It is important to remember that your ability to hear with your new MED-EL system may take a little time while you become accustomed to this new method of hearing. You may choose to work with an aural rehabilitation specialist or other clinician to help you maximize your communication skills using the device. The audio processor can be activated for the first time after the surgical incision has completely healed and any remaining swelling has gone away. The implant cannot provide any sound information until the audio processor has been programmed by your audiologist, turned on, and placed on the head over the implant. After your initial fitting, you will need to return to your CI center on a regular basis for reprogramming. Frequent reprogramming may be required during the first year of implant use. This is normal and necessary, and it reflects a learning process that occurs as you become more and more accustomed to stimulation through the implant. As more time passes, you will likely find that you may require fewer and fewer sessions. Most patients continue to require occasional adjustments for as long as they use their implant. Please contact your CI center or MED-EL with any additional questions you may have. Intended use – Indications – Contra-indications 4 3. Intended use – Indications – Contra-indications INTENDED USE The SONNET audio processor is an external part of the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System. The MED-EL Cochlear Implant System is intended to evoke auditory sensation via electrical stimulation of the auditory pathways for severely to profoundly hearing impaired individuals who obtain little or no benefit from acoustic amplification in the best aided condition. INDICATIONS The SONNET audio processor is an external component of the MAESTRO Cochlear Implant System and is indicated for use on patients who have been implanted with SYNCHRONY, MED-EL CONCERT, PULSARci 100 , SONATAti 100 or C40+ cochlear implants. The MAESTRO Cochlear Implant System is indicated for: • Adults eighteen (18) years of age or older who have bilateral, sensorineural hearing impairment and obtain limited benefit from appropriately fitted binaural hearing aids. These individuals typically demonstrate bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss determined by a pure tone average of 70 dB or greater at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz. Limited benefit from amplification is defined by test scores of 40 % correct or less in the best aided listening condition on CD recorded tests of open-set sentence recognition (Hearing In Noise Test [HINT] sentences). • Children aged twelve (12) months to seventeen (17) years eleven (11) months must demonstrate a profound, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss with thresholds of 90 dB or greater at 1000 Hz and above. In younger children, little or no benefit is defined by lack of progress in the development of simple auditory skills in conjunction with appropriate amplification and participation in intensive aural habilitation over a three (3) to six (6) month period. In older children, lack of aided benefit is defined as <20 % correct on the Multi-syllabic Lexical Neighborhood Test (MLNT) or Lexical Neighborhood Test (LNT), depending upon the child‘s cognitive ability and linguistic skills. A three (3) to six (6) month hearing aid trial is required for children without previous experience with hearing aids. Radiological evidence of cochlear ossification may justify a shorter trial with amplification. The SONNET is int…

Care and maintenance 48 WEEKLY MAINTENANCE OF YOUR AUDIO PROCESSOR Thoroughly wipe the external parts of your audio processor with a tissue and let them dry completely. Drying your audio processor The audio processor system includes a drying kit (electrical drying kit or drying box with drying capsules). For detailed information, please read the respective drying kit user manual. The audio processor need not be completely disassembled. The batteries may remain in the battery pack frame but the battery pack cover should be removed from your audio processor. We recommend that you dry your audio processor once a day (preferably overnight); although how often you will need to dry your equipment depends on the humidity in your environment. Excessive perspiration or high humidity in the air will require more frequent use of the drying kit. Never swallow any drying capsules which may be included in the drying kit! BATTERIES The SONNET audio processor requires two 675 zinc air batteries. These batteries supply the external and internal components of the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System with energy. If you want to get more information on batteries, please contact your local MED-EL representative or CI center. The battery pack cover has air inlets on its outer side. Do not cover these inlets as this may shorten battery life. If the inlets are contaminated, carefully clean them with the enclosed cleaning brush. If the contamination cannot be removed with the cleaning brush, replace the entire battery pack cover with a new one. NOTE: It is recommended to only use high power zinc air batteries to power the SONNET. Care and maintenance 49 IMPORTANT • Wash your hands after handling disposable batteries. • Do not try to recharge disposable batteries. • Do not disassemble, deform, immerse in water or incinerate batteries. • Avoid mix-up of old and new batteries or batteries of different types of brands. • Do not short-circuit batteries, e.g. by allowing the terminals of batteries to touch, carrying batteries loose in your pockets, wallet or purse or touching the battery terminals with metals (coins, wires, keys, etc.). • Store unused batteries in their original packaging, in a cool and dry place. • Do not expose batteries to heat (e.g. never leave batteries in direct sunlight, behind a window or in a car). • Do not use damaged, deformed batteries or leaking batteries. If any kind of substance leaks out of a battery, avoid direct skin contact with that substance. Such a substance could cause a chemical burn. In case of eye contact, rinse with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention immediately. • If you are not going to use your audio processor for an extended period of time, you should remove the batteries and store them separately. Cover the air openings on the top with adhesive tape when storing the batteries to avoid discharge. • Always remove used batteries immediately to avoid leakage and possible damage to the device. • Used batteries should be disposed of according to local regulations. Generally, batteries are collected separately and not disposed of with the household garbage. To prevent children from swallowing or choking on batteries, always keep new and used batteries out of the reach of children. Children shall be instructed not to swallow or put any components of their MED-EL Cochlear Implant System into their mouths or to play with any components. In young children, the battery pack cover lock must always be turned clockwise into the locked position (see Fig. 7-2), once the cover has been moved completely over the frame, to prevent the child from disassembling the audio processor. Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision. Care and maintenance 50 Changing the batteries of your SONNET audio processor When the indicator light on the control unit blinks red continuously ( ), the battery set must be replaced (see also chapter 8, Troubleshooting). To change the batteries, proceed as follows: 1. Remove the SONNET and the coil from your head. 2. Make sure that the battery pack cover lock is in the unlocked position, as shown in Fig. 7-1. When it is not in the unlocked position, use the screwdriver provided with your SONNET kit to turn it counter-clockwise into the unlocked position. 3. Pull back and completely remove the battery pack cover. 4. Replace the used battery set by removing the two batteries with the coil magnet. To do so, move the center of the bottom part of the coil over each battery separately. Try not to touch the battery contacts (see Fig. 22). IMPORTANT Be careful not to place the coil on the SONNET control unit. 5. Before inserting the new battery set, make sure that the battery contacts are clean and dry. Remove the foil stickers covering the zinc air batteries before use. Check for correct polarity when inserting the new batteries. The positive pole must face outward, i.e. the sign is still visible after the batteries have been inserted. 6. Make sure that the battery pack cover lock is in the unlocked position as shown in Fig. 7-1. When it is not in the unlocked position, use the screwdriver provided with your SONNET kit to turn it counter-clockwise into the unlocked position. 7. Slide the battery pack cover completely over the battery pack frame to switch on the SONNET (see Fig. 4). Mind the correct orientation of the battery pack cover when sliding it over the frame and do not use excessive force. The orientation is correct when the air inlets on the battery pack cover are on the same side as the coil cable socket in the control unit. Care and maintenance 51 In young children, the battery pack cover lock must always be turned clockwise into the locked position (see Fig. 7-2), once the cover has been moved completely over the frame, to prevent the child from disassembling the audio processor.
