Avoiding Water
Do not wear any external part of your cochlear implant
system while showering or bathing. Cochlear cannot
guarantee that it will be able to repair any water-damaged
part.
If Dropped in Water
If you drop your speech processor into water, take the
following steps
as soon as possible, to minimize damage:
1.Remove the batteries.
2.If dropped in dirty, contaminated or salt water rinse
briefly with running drinking water.
If possible, position your ESPrit 3G under the
running water as closely as possible to mirror the
direction in which it had been originally immersed in
the water.
In particular, salt can cause damage to the microphone
and switches of your ESPrit 3G.
3.Gently shake off as much water as you can.
4.Place the ESPrit 3G to dry in your ESPrit 3G case
with an activated drying tablet.
5.Close your ESPrit 3G case, and leave overnight.
6.Test to check the sound quality the next day.
If the sound quality has deteriorated, return your water
damaged ESPrit 3G for repair
as soon as possible to your
clinician, implant centre or nearest Cochlear office.
