Aqua+ Recipient Kit

The Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+ is a re-usable

sealable sleeve that, when used with the Aqua+ coil,

keeps your sound processor dry during use in or around

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

splashing around). It has a built-in ear hook and is worn

behind the ear with your sound processor sealed inside.

Please read instructions carefully. In order to receive

the intended beneﬁts, the device must be used in

accordance with these instructions. Improper use may

result in damage to the sound processor.

The Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+ is intended for use

by recipients 12 months or older using the CP810,

CP910, and CP920 sound processors with rechargeable

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. For young children or

individuals who cannot provide feedback, the Aqua+

should be used under close supervision.

You may notice a difference in sound quality when

using the Aqua+.

You must use rechargeable batteries for your sound

processor to work inside Aqua+. Zinc air batteries

will not work as they need air and there is no air inside

Aqua+ when it’s sealed.

The Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+ Coil (with

integrated coil cable) is used in place of your usual

coil and coil cable while your sound processor is inside

your Aqua+. It has a special plug that creates a seal

when connected to your sound processor’s coil socket

through the coil plug hole in Aqua+. As with your usual

coil, a coil magnet screws into the Aqua+ coil and holds

it against your implant.

The magnet strength and placement when used with

Aqua+ should be the same as your standard coil.

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.

The Cochlear™ 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+ if they are suitable for use in or around water.

Testing shows Aqua+ can be used for 2 hours and at

depths of up to 3 metres.

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

but this may vary depending on your particular use of

it.

2Insert your sound processor into Aqua+.

You don’t have to attach the Aqua+ earhook

to your sound processor.

Instructions for

Cochlear™ Nucleus® Aqua+

Before you get wet…

1Carefully remove your usual earhook and

unplug your usual coil from the sound processor

(see your sound processor’s user guide for

speciﬁc instructions).

Don‘t forget you must be using rechargeable

batteries for your sound processor to work

inside Aqua+.

3Plug the blue Aqua+ coil (with magnet) straight

into your sound processor through the hole in

Aqua+. Do not twist. The coil plug should feel

securely connected.

4Insert the plug into the base of Aqua+.

To make a good seal, push the plug in as far

as it will go (like a cork).

5If you’re worried about losing Aqua+

(e.g. in the surf), use the safety line

to secure Aqua+ to your clothing.

6If you’re concerned about keeping Aqua+

on your ear, attach a Mic Lock-Stirrup

(or another retention aid).

See 11 for instructions on cutting

Mic Lock-Stirrup to ﬁt your ear.

7Finally, do the Aqua+ Checklist

to make sure you’re ready to get wet!

8Have fun!

Notes on retention

For young children, the sound processor with Aqua+

may be too bulky or heavy for successful retention

without retention aids.

A swimcap or goggles do not interfere with the Aqua+

and can be used as retention aids. This can be useful for

young children or others who may have difﬁculty with

retention of the Aqua+.

Use of additional retention aids such as a swimcap

may reduce the transmission of sound to the sound

processor’s microphone.

3Open Aqua+ and remove your sound processor.

After getting wet…

Care and storage

1Rinse Aqua+ with clean water

and dry with a soft cloth.

2Unplug the blue Aqua+ coil.

Pull the plug straight out; do not twist.

4Re-attach your usual coil and earhook.

5Place Aqua+ and the blue Aqua+ coil in your

dry aid kit overnight.

6Once they’re thoroughly dry, store Aqua+,

the blue Aqua+ coil and any accessories in

your Cochlear™ Nucleus® Storage Case.
