2AQUA+ FOR KANSO™USER GUIDE

The Cochlear™Aqua+ for Kanso™is a re-usable sealable

cover that keeps your Cochlear™Kanso Sound Processor

(model number: CP950) dry during use in or around water

(e.g. when swimming, surﬁng, or just having fun splashing

around). It is worn on your implant with your sound processor

sealed inside.

The Aqua+ is intended for use by recipients using the Kanso

Sound Processor with speciﬁc disposable 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.

The Cochlear Headband is a retention option that holds

Aqua+ more securely on your head.

The Nucleus®Safety Line is a retention option to help

prevent accidental loss of your Aqua+ by securing it to your

clothing with a snap-lock clip.

Remotes and wireless accessories can be used with Aqua+,

however they should be protected from water and kept dry.

Testing shows Aqua+ can be used at depths of up to 3 metres

for up to 2 hours.

Testing shows Aqua+ can be re-used up to 50 times, but this

may vary depending on your particular use of it.

There have been no reported undesirable side effects from

using Aqua+.

3AQUA+ FOR KANSO™USER GUIDE

Battery use with Aqua+

For everyday use, most Kanso Sound Processor users will

achieve at least 16 hours battery life with zinc air batteries.

But you cannot use zinc air batteries with Aqua+ as they need

air and there is insufﬁcient air inside Aqua+ when it’s sealed.

You must use other disposable batteries for your Kanso

Sound Processor to work inside Aqua+. You can use

alkaline, nickel metal hydride or silver oxide* batteries.

ESTIMATED

MINIMUM LIFE

Alkaline (LR44) Yes 1 hour

Nickel metal hydride (P675) Yes 1 hour 30 min

Silver oxide (SR44) Yes 3 hours

* (USA) Silver oxide batteries are contraindicated by the FDA.

NOTE

Battery life depends on your implant type, the thickness of skin

over your implant, system settings and hearing situations. It can

also vary between battery manufacturers.

If you use a Cochlear Nucleus CR230 Remote Assistant, you

can check your remaining battery life (when you’re out of the

water):

instructions).

3. Open the Aqua+ housing.

Put your ﬁngers under the top cover’s side tabs and press

your thumbs on the raised sides of the base.

CAUTION

Don’t damage the soft top cover with your ﬁngernails.

TIP

You can gently bend the Aqua+ side tabs towards you,

and press alternately on the left then right side until the

base pops out.

4. Check both halves for damage (e.g. scratches, tears) or

contamination (e.g. sand, hair, sunscreen).

If it is damaged, use a new Aqua+.

CAUTION

Anything that affects the seal may cause water to leak in

and damage your sound processor.

6AQUA+ FOR KANSO™USER GUIDE

5. Place your sound processor button side up in the Aqua+

base unit.

TIPS

• Your Aqua+ is shaped so your processor only ﬁts in

one way.

• If you use a Cochlear SoftWear™ pad, you can leave it

on the processor.

6. Put the Aqua+ top cover on the base unit (line up the

button shape on the top cover with the button on your

sound processor).

TIP

Make sure you don’t trap too much air in the top cover.

This may affect sound quality and comfort.

7. Turn the Aqua+ over and ﬁrmly press around the edges

until the base is ﬂush with the top cover.

the Safety Line to attach it to your clothing.

See Safety Line instructions on page 10.
