• Magnetic fields that are very close to an Osia implant can
affect the operation of the implant. These magnetic fields can
be created by magnets that are stronger than the Osia Sound
Processor coil magnets.If you stop hearing and suspect that
you have a strong magnetic field close to the location of the
Osia implant, move away from the source of the magnetic field.
Hearing will then return. If the problem continues, contact your
clinician or a Cochlear representative.
Batteries
• Use only Cochlear supplied or recommended high power
675 (PR44) zinc air battery designed for hearing implant use.
• Insert the battery in the correct orientation.
• 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 battery and store
separately in a clean and dry place.
• 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.
