(e.g. table or chair). impact to the sound processor may cause damage to the processor or its parts. impact to the head in the area of the Cochlear implant could damage it and result in its failure. Most patients can benefit from electrical stimulation levels that are considered safe, based on animal experimental data. The long-term effects of such stimulation in humans are unknown. C A U T I O N S USER GUiDE 39 DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Warnings For parents and carers Removable parts of the system (e.g. microphone protectors, batteries, magnets, battery cover, Safety Line) can be lost or may be a choking or strangulation hazard. Keep out of reach of children or lock the tamper-proof screw on the processor cover. Keep the dry brick from the dry aid kit away from small children. Swallowing this material can cause serious internal injuries. Carers must routinely check the device for signs of overheating and for signs of discomfort or skin irritation at the implant site. Remove the processor immediately if there is any discomfort or pain (e.g. if device becomes hot, or sound is uncomfortably loud) and inform clinician. Carers must monitor for signs of discomfort or skin irritation if a retention aid (e.g. headband) is used that applies pressure to the sound processor. Remove the aid immediately if there is any discomfort or pain, and inform clinician. Dispose of used batteries promptly and carefully, in accordance with local regulations. Keep away from children. Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision. 40 KANSO SOUND PROCESSOR DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Processors and parts Each processor is programmed specifically for each implant. Never wear another persons processor or lend yours to another person. Use your Cochlear implant system only with approved devices and accessories. if you experience a significant change in performance, remove your processor and contact your clinician. Your processor and other parts of the system contain complex electronic parts. These parts are durable but must be treated with care. No modification of this equipment is allowed. Warranty will be void if modified. if you experience tightness or pain at the implant site, or develop significant skin irritation, stop using your sound processor and contact your clinician. Do not apply continued pressure to the processor when in contact with the skin (e.g. sleeping while lying on processor, or using tight fitting headwear). Do not push the volume too high for comfort in case a loud noise occurs nearby. W A R N N G S I USER GUiDE 41 DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Do not place the processor or parts in any household devices (e.g. microwave oven, dryer). Do not use a dry aid kit that has an Ultra Violet C (UVC) lamp (e.g. do not use the Freedom Dry and Store). The magnetic attachment of your sound processor to your implant may be affected by other magnetic sources. Store spare magnets safely and away from cards that may have a magnetic strip (e.g. credit cards, bus tickets). Your device contains magnets that should be kept away from life supporting devices (e.g. cardiac pacemakers and iCDs (implantable cardioverter defibrillators) and magnetic ventricular shunts), as the magnets may affect the function of these devices. Keep your processor at least 15 cm (6 in) from such devices. Contact the manufacturer of the specific device to find out more. Your sound processor and remote control radiate electromagnetic energy that may interfere with life supporting devices (e.g. cardiac pacemakers and iCDs). Keep your processor and remote control at least 15 cm (6 in) from such devices. Contact the manufacturer of the specific device to find out more. Do not place the device or accessories inside any part of your body (e.g. nose, mouth). 42 KANSO SOUND PROCESSOR DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Seek medical advice before entering any environment that may adversely affect the operation of your Cochlear implant, including areas protected by a warning notice preventing entry by patients fitted with a pacemaker. Some types of digital mobile telephones (e.g. Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) as used in some countries), may interfere with the operation of your external equipment. You may hear distorted sound when close, 1-4 m (~3-12 ft), to a digital mobile telephone in use. For Cochlear Nucleus cochlear implant recipients only, the maximum diving depth is 40 m (~131 ft). Seek medical advice before diving to ensure you do not have any conditions that might make diving contraindicated (e.g. middle ear infection). When wearing a mask, avoid pressure over the implant site. Before activities that create electrostatic discharge (e.g. playing on plastic slides), remove your processor. in rare cases, discharge of static electricity can damage your Cochlear implants electrical components or corrupt the processors program. if static electricity is present (e.g. when putting on clothes over your head, or getting out of a car), before the Cochlear implant system touches any object or person, you should touch something conductive such as a metal door handle. W A R N N G S I USER GUiDE 43 DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Batteries Use only Cochlear supplied or recommended p675 zinc air batteries for everyday use. Other batteries may only be used with the Aqua+ for Kanso accessory. (see its user guide for details). insert batteries in the correct orientation. Do not mix disposable batteries that differ by manufacturer, brand, type, age or previous usage. Do not short-circuit batteries (e.g. do not let terminals of batteries contact each other, do not place batteries loose in pockets, etc.). Do not disassemble, deform, immerse in water or dispose of batteries in fire. Store unused batteries in original packaging, in a clean and dry place. When processor is not in use, remove the batteries and store separately in a clean and dry place. Wipe batteries with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty. Do not expose batteries to heat (e.g. never leave batteries in sunlight, behind a window or in a car). Do not use damaged or deformed batteries. if skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid or liquid, wash out with water and seek medical attention immediately. Never put batteries in mouth. if swallowed, contact your physician or local poison information service. 44 KANSO SOUND PROCESSOR DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Medical treatments Magnetic resonance imaging (MRi) MRi is contraindicated except under special circumstances. Do not allow a patient with an implant to be in a room where an MRi scanner is located except under special circumstances. Full MRi safety information is available at www.cochlear.com/warnings or by calling your regional Cochlear office (contact numbers available at the end of this document). if the patient is implanted with other implants, consult the manufacturers instructions before performing MRi. W A R N N G S I USER GUiDE 45 DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Medical treatments generating induced currents, heat and vibration Having a cochlear implant means extra care must be taken when receiving some medical treatments. Before starting medical treatment, the information in this section should be discussed with the recipients physician. The sound processor must be removed before starting any of the medical treatments listed in this section. Some medical treatments generate induced currents that may cause tissue damage or permanent damage to the implant. Before initiating any of the following treatments deactivate the device. Warnings for specific treatments are provided below. CONDiTiON WARNiNG Diathermy Do not use therapeutic or medical diathermy

(thermopenetration) using electromagnetic radiation (magnetic induction coils or microwave). High currents induced into the electrode lead can cause tissue damage to the cochlea/brainstem or permanent damage to the implant. Medical diathermy using ultrasound may be used below the head and neck. Electroconvulsive therapy Do not use electroconvulsive therapy on an implant patient under any circumstances. Electroconvulsive therapy can cause tissue damage or damage to the implant 46 KANSO SOUND PROCESSOR DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING CONDiTiON WARNiNG Electrosurgery Electrosurgical instruments can induce radio frequency currents that could flow through the electrode. Monopolar electrosurgical instruments must not be used on the head or neck of an implant patient as induced currents could cause damage to cochlear/neural tissues or permanent damage to the implant. When using bipolar electrosurgical instruments on the head and neck of a patient, the cautery electrodes must not contact the implant and should be kept more than 1 cm ( in.) from the electrodes. ionising radiation therapy Do not use ionizing radiation therapy directly over the implant. it may cause damage to the implant. Neurostimulation Do not use neurostimulation directly over the implant. High currents induced into the electrode lead can cause tissue damage to the cochlea/

(ABS). 48 KANSO SOUND PROCESSOR DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Batteries Check the battery manufacturers recommended operating conditions for disposable batteries used in your processor. Wireless communication link The remote control/remote assistant wireless communication link operates in the 2.4 GHz iSM band using GFSK (Gaussian frequency shift keying) on 5 channels. The link uses a proprietary bi-directional communication protocol and operates over a distance of up to 2 metres from the processor. When interference is present, the wireless communication link switches between the 5 channels to find a channel where the interference least affects the operation of the link. The remotes indicate via their displays when the processor is not within operating distance, and when the link has been interrupted due to interference (see the relevant remote user guide for more information).

Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. O T H E R I N F O R M A T I O N USER GUiDE 53 DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING Explanatory notes:

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. if the measured field strength in the location in which the processor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the processor should be observed to verify normal operation. if abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the processor. b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m. Recommended separation distances Your processor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment where the radiated RF disturbances are controlled. To prevent electromagnetic interference, maintain a minimum distance between the portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. 54 KANSO SOUND PROCESSOR DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING RATED MAXiMUM OUTPUT POWER OF TRANSMiTTER
