Medical Examinations

- The processor should be removed before any medical examination (e.g., radiation therapy,
MRI, ultrasound, CT scan).
- Your implanted receiver contains a permanent magnet that is sensitive to electrical currents.
You must first consult your implantation center and Neurelec before undergoing any treatment
using electrical currents or before exposure to intense radiation.
- Your implant system is compatible with MRI exams at 1.5 Tesla. The MRI exam request form
(available at www.neurelec.com) must be filled out by the radiologist and returned to Neurelec
before undergoing any examination.

Settings

Every processor is programmed by a Neurelec-certified audiologist for personal use only,
and should never be loaned to or exchanged with anyone else. Using someone else's processor
may cause you to experience very loud or poor quality sounds.

Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) are sparks caused by contact between two people or between
a person and an object. These sparks are more common in cold and dry conditions. Some
situations, such as getting out of a car, or contact with certain types of materials such as synthetic
fabrics, a plastic slide, computer or television screens, and carpets are common triggers of such
discharges. The Saphyr® processor provides a strong level of protection against ESD events,
in compliance with standard EN 60601-1-2: 2007, to avoid possible damage to the device or
corruption of programs. To prevent exposing your processor to such discharges, we advise you
to take additional precautions, such as being extra careful when taking off a sweater or getting
out of a vehicle. Furthermore, anyone who may come into contact with the processor should
first touch the person wearing the implant before touching the device. This will help eliminate
any residual static electricity.

Passing Through Security Gates

Security gates (at airports, shopping centers, etc.) generate powerful electromagnetic fields.
Passing through or near these gates can set off the detector alarm or interfere with the sound
perceived by the implant wearer. We therefore advise you to turn off your processor and notify
security guards by showing your owner ID card.

Travelling by Air

As with all electronic equipment, you must turn off your processor during take-off and landing.
