Summary of Contents for Cochlear Nucleus Aqua+

  • Page 2 Notes...
  • Page 3 Mic Lock-Stirrup Safety Line (optional) (optional) The Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+ is a re-usable sealable sleeve that, when used with the Aqua+ coil, keeps your sound processor dry during use in or around water (e.g. when swimming, surfing, or just having fun splashing around).
  • Page 4 The Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+ is intended for use by recipients 12 months or older using the CP810, CP910, and CP920 sound processors with rechargeable batteries. It should only be used by recipients who can either remove the sound processor themselves if it’s causing discomfort or who can indicate any discomfort to their parent or caregiver.
  • Page 5 Instructions for Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+ Before you get wet… Carefully remove your usual earhook and unplug your usual coil from the sound processor (see your sound processor’s user guide for specific instructions). Insert your sound processor into Aqua+. You don’t have to attach the Aqua+ earhook to your sound processor.
  • Page 6 Plug the blue Aqua+ coil (with magnet) straight into your sound processor through the hole in Aqua+. Do not twist. The coil plug should feel securely connected. Insert the plug into the base of Aqua+. To make a good seal, push the plug in as far as it will go (like a cork).
  • Page 7 If you’re worried about losing Aqua+ (e.g. in the surf), use the safety line to secure Aqua+ to your clothing. If you’re concerned about keeping Aqua+ on your ear, attach a Mic Lock-Stirrup (or another retention aid). See 11 for instructions on cutting Mic Lock-Stirrup to fit your ear.
  • Page 8 Notes on retention For young children, the sound processor with Aqua+ may be too bulky or heavy for successful retention without retention aids. A swimcap or goggles do not interfere with the Aqua+ and can be used as retention aids. This can be useful for young children or others who may have difficulty with retention of the Aqua+.

  • Page 9: Care And Storage

    After getting wet… Care and storage Rinse Aqua+ with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Unplug the blue Aqua+ coil. Pull the plug straight out; do not twist. Open Aqua+ and remove your sound processor.
  • Page 10 Re-attach your usual coil and earhook. Place Aqua+ and the blue Aqua+ coil in your dry aid kit overnight. Once they’re thoroughly dry, store Aqua+, the blue Aqua+ coil and any accessories in your Cochlear™ Nucleus® Storage Case.
  • Page 11 Instructions for Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+ Coil Insert the Cochlear™ Nucleus® CP900 Series Magnet into the hole in the blue Aqua+ coil. Turn clockwise until the magnet is set at a comfortable depth (check it against your implant). Once fitted, leave the magnet in your blue Aqua+ coil.
  • Page 12 Instructions for Cochlear™ Nucleus® Safety Line Thread the loop end of the safety line through the Aqua+ ring. Create a knot by passing the clip end of the safety line through the safety line loop. Lift the lever to open and close the clip.
  • Page 13 Instructions for Cochlear™ Nucleus® Mic Lock-Stirrup Before using Mic Lock-Stirrup for the first time, cut it to the right length to suit your ear. Snap the stirrup into the dimples at the base of Aqua+. Find the right length of tubing to hold Aqua+ in place comfortably behind your ear.
  • Page 14 Push the cut end of the tubing over the earhook, all the way up to the notch on the earhook. Wear your Aqua+ with Mic Lock-Stirrup. You can leave Mic Lock-Stirrup attached to Aqua+.
  • Page 15 Warnings If your sound processor becomes unusually warm, remove it immediately and seek advice from your clinician. Parents/caregivers: if your recipient indicates discomfort, check if their sound processor is unusually warm. Small parts (e.g. coil magnets) may be a choking hazard.
  • Page 16 Precautions Always use Aqua+ with the blue Aqua+ coil, never with your usual coil. The blue Aqua+ coil should only be used with the Aqua+ to avoid potential cracking of the sound processor case. When connecting the coil cable, always push the plug straight in;...
