CAUTIONS

• Remove external equipment to stop stimulation if sounds cause discomfort.

• It is important for the headpiece to have the correct magnet strength to

avoid discomfort or retention issues. If an insufﬁcient number of magnets

are used, the headpiece may fall off more than is acceptable. If too many

magnets are used, the recipient may experience irritation or discomfort. Consult

a clinician if there are any concerns regarding magnet strength. If deemed

appropriate, an audiologist may insert additional magnets or remove magnets

from the headpiece. Do not place additional magnets in the headpiece unless

under the direction of a cochlear implant professional. If the recipient experiences

any redness, irritation, or discomfort, discontinue use of the headpiece immediately

and contact a cochlear implant center. See the headpiece Instructions for Use for

additional information regarding adjustment of headpiece magnet strength.

• If the sound processor or accessories become unusually hot or warm, discontinue

use immediately and contact Advanced Bionics or a clinician.

• Store additional headpieces away from items with magnetic strips (e.g. credit

cards, hotel room key cards), as this may de-magnetize cards.

• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment, including radios and

cellular phones, may affect sound quality of the Naída CI Q90 sound processor and

accessories; however, there is no safety hazard associated with such equipment.

• The Naída CI Q90 sound processor and accessories should be used in accordance

with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information provided in the Guidance and

Manufacturer’s Declaration section of the Instructions for Use.

• Only use the charger provided for charging AB PowerCels. Do not use it to

charge other batteries. Do not try to charge Naída CI Q90 PowerCels using a charger

other than the one provided by Advanced Bionics.

• Remove batteries from your sound processor when they are drained to prevent

damage from possible leaking.

• Do not expose any part of the Naída CI Q90 sound processor or accessories to

extreme heat, such as an oven, microwave, or hair dryer.

• Only charge batteries using charger(s) recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not use your AB myPilot or ComPilot accessories when instructed not to use

wireless electronic devices, such as on airplanes.

• The AB myPilot should not come within 1/2” (1 cm) of the Naída CI Q90 processor

Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide 5

while stimulating the implant. Doing so could cause the implant and sound

processor to lose lock. If this happens, power down the processor and power back

on (by disengaging the battery and reattaching).

• The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this device is

extremely reliable and experiences virtually no interference from other devices.

It should be noted, however, that when operating the device near a computer

terminal or other strong electromagnetic ﬁelds, it may be necessary to be at least

24” (60 cm) away to ensure proper operation. If the Naída CI Q90 does not respond

to the implant device because of an unusual ﬁeld disturbance, move away from

the disturbing ﬁeld.

• If the AB myPilot stops being able to transmit commands to the sound processor,

it may be necessary to re-pair the AB myPilot with your sound processor. Consult the

Pairing to the AB myPilot section of this user manual.

• If volume commands from your AB myPilot to your sound processor seem erratic,

re-pair the AB myPilot and the Naída CI Q90.

• NOTE: When streaming audio with the ComPilot, if your headpiece becomes

unlocked, turn off the ComPilot prior to re-locking your headpiece. Not doing so

may prevent the sound processor from communicating with your implant.

• Patients are advised that the use of WindBlock, EchoBlock and/or SoundRelax

may affect the quality of sound.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

High levels of static electricity may damage electronic components of your sound processor or

implant. Care should be taken to avoid exposure of the system to static electricity. ESD is present

when you feel a spark jump from your body or your hair

stands on-end.

The following are examples of situations where high levels of electrostatic charge may be created:

• Walking, crawling, or sliding on carpets.

• Sliding on plastic slides.

• Exiting an automobile.

• Pulling sweaters on and off.

• Touching TV or computer screens.

• Removing bedding materials.

6 Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide

To reduce the likelihood of electrostatic discharge damage:

• Touch a person or object with your ﬁngers prior to touching your or your child’s headpiece, cable,

or sound processor.

• Touch metal surfaces with your hand prior to allowing equipment to contact the metal surface.

This is particularly important on the playground where high levels of static electricity can be

generated. It is important to discharge any static electricity by touching a metal surface with your hand

prior to allowing the sound processor, cable, or headpiece to come into contact with the metal

surface.

• Take care to avoid contact between your cochlear implant equipment and metal surfaces

when exiting a vehicle.

• Remove cochlear implant equipment prior to removing clothing that may contain electric

charge (e.g. sweaters).

• Do not touch TV or computer screens. If screens are touched, be sure to touch an object

other than your implant system to discharge any charge build-up prior to touching any part

of your implant system.

• Use fabric softener on clothing and bedding.

Airport Security Metal Detectors

Metal detectors and security scanners, including full body scanners, will not damage your

implant system; however, metal detectors may be activated as you pass through. To avoid

hearing any unwanted sound when walking through metal detectors or security scanners, you

should reduce the volume on the sound processor or remove your headpiece.

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors, sometimes used in lighting sensors and security systems, will not damage

your implant system; however, they may be picked up by the headpiece microphone and lead

to distorted sound quality when you operate your sound processor in the immediate vicinity

of such a sensor. Additionally, if the ultrasonic sound is of a very high intensity, the processor

system microphone may become damaged. To avoid hearing any unwanted sound, you should

reduce the volume on your sound processor or remove your headpiece when passing near an

ultrasonic sensor (e.g. in entrances to libraries).

X-ray Machines

X-ray machines will not damage your sound processor or implant, but may damage your Naída

CI Q90 and head piece microphones. Avoid placing any system microphones in any checked

or carry-on baggage that is screened with X-ray. During airport security screenings, the sound

processor and microphone should be worn through the metal detector or examined by hand.

The Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor and Accessories Overview

The Naída CI Q90 is the newest and most advanced cochlear implant sound processor

available.

As evidence of Advanced Bionics’ dedication to providing the best hearing possible, the Naída

CI Q90 provides access to AutoSound™ technology, which dynamically adapts to every listening

environment, automatically adjusting volume levels to optimize hearing. The Naída CI Q90 is

also capable of utilizing all approved sound processing options offered by Advanced Bionics.

Depending on the country in which you live, this may include HiRes™-S, HiRes™-P, HiRes Fidelity

120™, ClearVoice™, HiRes™ Optima, CIS, and MPS.

The Naída CI Q90

The Naída CI Q90 is a miniature computer that converts sound picked up by the microphone

into electrical signals that are used by the cochlear implant to enable hearing. It is able to store

up to ﬁve (5) user-selectable programs for optimal hearing across all listening environments.

The Naída CI Q90 has diagnostic indicators, such as LEDs and internal audible alarms. The

Naída CI Q90 LEDs provide important information about Naída CI Q90 status, battery life,

program position, audio input, and Naída CI Q90 error conditions. Internal alarms provide a

discreet way for adult recipients to get important information about battery status, program

number, and volume level. For more information, refer to the Naída CI Q90 LEDs and Internal

Alarms sections of this User Guide.

The Naída CI Q90 can be programmed using Intellilink™ safety feature to prevent use by

a cochlear implant other than the one for which it has been programmed. IntelliLink is an

important safety feature for very young children and bilateral implant recipients.

The Naída CI Q90 can also be programmed bilaterally allowing the recipient access to up to

ten programs on a single processor, up to ﬁve programs for the left ear and up to ﬁve programs

for the right ear. When programmed bilaterally by your clinical professional, the Naída CI Q90

will detect which ear it is worn on and provide access to the appropriate programs for that ear.

Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide 13

The Universal Headpiece

The Universal Headpiece includes a coil that transmits sound signals and power to the implant,

as well as a magnet well, which houses the necessary number of magnets to ensure the

headpiece stays on throughout the day. The headpiece is covered by a Color Cap, which snaps

securely in place. The headpiece also functions as a sound input source, having a microphone

embedded in it. The microphone picks up sound from the environment and transfers it to the

sound processor via a detachable cable. Once the sound processor has converted the sound

into electric signals, it sends the information to the implant via the cable and headpiece. The

cables come in a variety of colors and lengths to suit all needs. The Naída CI Q90 works with

the Universal Headpiece.

The Universal Headpiece (UHP), works with all Advanced Bionics’ sound processors, and is

intended for use with the Naída CI Q90 outside of water environments.

For more information, refer to the Replacing Headpiece Cables section of the User Guide or the

UHP and/or Cable Instructions for Use.

AB myPilot

The AB myPilot is an advanced remote control that leverages Phonak technology to enable

wireless communication for unilateral and bilateral Naída CI recipients. The AB myPilot provides

convenient controls to manipulate program, volume, sensitivity, source-speciﬁc listening checks,

and ZoomControl for the Naída CI Q90. The AB myPilot also has the ability to provide status

and battery information for Naída CI processors. For bilateral Naída CI users, AB myPilot offers

one-touch binaural controls, allowing changes to be made to both processors at once.

Color Cap

Microphone Cable Connection Port

14 Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide

ComPilot

The ComPilot allows unparalleled connectivity for Naída CI recipients, connecting them

wirelessly to Bluetooth® enabled phones and devices or MP3 players for speech or stereo music.

It is also compatible with Phonak’s portfolio of FM receivers via a euro socket. Additionally,

when unpaired, the ComPilot is able to stream to compatible Phonak instruments. This allows

bimodal wearers -- people who wear a Naída CI on one ear and a Phonak compatible hearing

instrument on the other ear -- access to bilateral wireless streaming.

When the ComPilot is paired to the Naída CI, it provides remote control functions to adjust the

Naída CI for increased listening comfort in addition to wireless streaming. When paired, you are

able to make program and volume changes via the ComPilot only to the Naída CI. If you are

bilaterally implanted, changes can be made to both Naída CI processors simultaneously. The

ComPilot also connects both Naída CI processors wirelessly to other communication and audio

devices, allowing you to hear the signal in both ears.

Naída CI Listening Check

The Naída CI Listening Check’s unique design makes conducting a diagnostic check of the

microphone and audio input sources easy and accessible. The Module itself does not have

a power source, as it relies solely on power from the Naída CI power sources (PowerCels,

Zn-Air Battery Pak, AAA/03 PowerPak or Off-the-Ear Power Options). The Naída CI Listening

Check allows an unaided listener to listen to the exact microphone conﬁgurations the recipient

is using. Alternatively, if the recipient owns an AB myPilot, the unaided listener can do a listening

check of all audio sources independently by selecting them individually on the AB myPilot menu.
