• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 Compressed are intended to be used in cochleae
with moderate obliteration, ossifi cation, or malformation for an electrode insertion
depth of about 15 mm as per request of the surgeon.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FLEX
SOFT
are intended to be used in open cochleae
(no obliteration or ossifi cation) for an electrode insertion depth of about 31 mm.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FLEX
28
are intended to be used in open cochleae
(no obliteration or ossifi cation) for an electrode insertion depth of about 28 mm.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FLEX
26
are intended to be used in open cochleae
(no obliteration or ossifi cation) for an electrode insertion depth of about 26 mm.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FLEX
24
for non‑EAS indication are intended to be
used in open cochleae (no obliteration or ossifi cation) for an electrode insertion
depth of about 24 mm as per request of the surgeon.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FLEX
24
used for EAS are indicated for partially deaf
individuals with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss in the low frequencies,
sloping to a profound sensorineural hearing loss in the high frequencies.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FLEX
20
for non‑EAS indication are intended to be
used in open cochleae (no obliteration or ossifi cation) for an electrode insertion
depth of about 20 mm as per request of the surgeon.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FLEX
20
used for EAS are indicated for partially deaf
individuals with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss in the low frequencies,
sloping to a profound sensorineural hearing loss in high frequencies.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FORM
24
are intended to be used in open cochleae
(no obliteration or ossifi cation) or in cochleae with malformation for an electrode
insertion depth of about 24 mm and/or when cerebrospinal fl uid (CSF) leakage is
expected.
• Cochlear implants SYNCHRONY 2 FORM
19
are intended to be used in cochleae with
malformation, obliteration or ossifi cation for an electrode insertion depth of about
19 mm and/or when cerebrospinal fl uid (CSF) leakage is expected.
Contraindications
An individual must not be implanted,
• if the individual is known to be intolerant of the materials used in the implant
(including medical grade silicone, platinum, iridium and parylene c);
• if there is an absence of cochlear development;
• if the cause of deafness is non‑functionality of the auditory nerve and/or the upper
auditory pathway;
• if external or middle ear infections are present or if the tympanic membrane is
perforated in the ear to be implanted;
• if there are medical contraindications to surgery of the middle and inner ear and
anaesthesia as required;
