Overview

CS-30A* is the third cochlear implant introduced by Nurotron. With 24 Internal Electrode Arrays for SD, TM & TL, and 22 for TS, this cochlear implant has the following further enhancements:

• 9mm Ultra-thin design that requires less bone removal, making surgery safer.
• It supports MRI scans of up to 3.0T without requiring magnet removal, making it a leading choice for users who need frequent medical imaging.

It features soft electrode arrays, an advanced SoC chip, and a reliable, bio-compatible titanium implant casing.

Different lengths make it easier to fit different ear shapes:

• The standard electrode--22mm;
• The thin electrode--17.5mm, 22mm, and 25.5mm, ending in a 0.3mm apical tip.

With these features, CS-30A* provides greater convenience, safety, and flexibility for CI users.

More about CS-30A*--Magnet Upgrade

Cochlear implant MRI compatibility is important for people with severe to profound hearing loss when undergoing MRI scans.

MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a critical tool in health diagnostics, especially for detecting conditions related to the brain and spinal cord. The use of 3.0T MRI machines is particularly significant because they offer higher resolution images, allowing for more accurate diagnoses.

And now, for patients with cochlear implants, especially those requiring regular medical imaging from 1.5T to 3.0T, having an MRI-compatible cochlear implant like the CS-30A* ensures:

Safe MRI Scanning

Individuals with cochlear implants face specific challenges when undergoing MRI scans. One major issue is that traditional cochlear implants may contain metal components, which can be hazardous in the strong magnetic field of an MRI, potentially damaging the implant or causing discomfort.

The upgraded magnet design of CS-30A* provides a secure and stable scanning experience, minimizing risks during high-powered MRI scans. Its revolutionary magnet means you can have MRIs of up to 3.0 Tesla without magnet removal surgery because this implant is approved for 1.5T and 3.0T with the magnet in place.

Convenient Scanning

In the past, patients with cochlear implants often had to undergo extensive pre-scan procedures, such as removing the device, leading to numerous questions about safety, effectiveness, and the implications for their hearing.

The ability to undergo MRI procedures without removing the implant’s magnet reduces the complexity of preparation and post-scan recovery.

MRI Safety Notes

As a Nurotron CI user, if you are told to do an MRI scan, here are the things you should know:

Before the MRI, be sure to consult your healthcare provider or Nurotron. During the scan, you’ll need to remove your processor, as it cannot be used in the MRI environment. After the MRI, since the magnet remains in place, you can resume your normal activities without any additional steps to reinstate it. This makes the entire process smoother, more efficient, and more comfortable.
