The Cochlear ™ Nucleus® 7 Aqua+ is a re-usable sealable cover that, when used with the Cochlear Nucleus 7 Aqua+ Coil, keeps your Cochlear Nucleus 7 Sound Processor (model number: CP1000) dry during use in or around water (e.g. when swimming, surfing, or just having fun splashing around).

The Cochlear Nucleus Mic Lock-Stirrup is a retention option to hold Aqua+ more securely behind your ear. The stirrup connects to the base of Aqua+ and the Mic Lock tube (when cut to size) passes under the ear lobe and connects to the Aqua+ earhook.

Warnings • If your sound processor becomes warmer than usual, remove it immediately and seek advice from your clinician. Parents/caregivers: if your recipient indicates discomfort, check if their sound processor is warmer than usual. • Small parts (e.g. magnets, Safety Line) may be a choking or strangulation hazard.
Page 18
• If you experience tightness or pain at the implant site, or develop significant skin irritation, stop using your sound processor and contact your clinician. • If the coil magnet is too strong, pressure sores may develop at the implant site. If this happens, or if you experience any discomfort in this area, contact your clinician.

Cautions • Always use Aqua+ with the blue Aqua+ coil, never with your usual coil. • When connecting the coil cable, always push the plug straight in; do not screw or twist the plug. • Where possible, avoid pressing the processor button with your fingernail as this can damage your Aqua+.
