Cochlear Limited obtained US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for four new products, adding to its suite of hearing technology solutions. The Nucleus® Kanso® 2 Sound Processor, Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor for Nucleus 22 implant recipients, Custom Sound® Pro fitting software and the Nucleus® SmartNav system reflect Cochlear's ongoing commitment to innovation in hearing technology. The four new systems will be commercially released in the US and Western Europe in the next few months, subject to local approvals. Nucleus® Kanso® 2 Sound Processor: The Nucleus Kanso 2 Sound Processor is the world's small off-the-ear cochlear implant sound processor with proven hearing performance technologies2-5. It is the first and only off-the-ear cochlear implant sound processor to offer direct streaming from compatible Apple or AndroidTM devices, and is compatible with the Nucleus Smart App, enabling control of device settings, functions and information. Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor for Nucleus 22 implant recipients: The Cochlear Nucleus 7 Sound Processor is now compatible for cochlear implant recipients with a Nucleus 22 implant. This means that Nucleus 22 implant recipients can now upgrade to Cochlear's latest behind-the-ear sound processor and, for the first time, access direct smartphone connectivity and streaming from compatible Apple or AndroidTM devices. Custom Sound® Pro fitting software: Custom Sound Pro supports clinicians in fitting Cochlear's sound processors. The software harnesses almost 40 years of experience and input from thousands of clinicians worldwide. The Custom Sound Pro fitting software keeps the patient at the centre of care with a new dashboard and Patient Goals feature, promoting patient engagement and facilitating more effective tracking of progress between appointments. With an intuitive layout, an integrated workflow for bilateral fittings and increased on-air time, the software is designed to enhance the fitting experience for clinicians and their patients. Nucleus® SmartNav system: The Nucleus SmartNav system is a new tool to support surgeons in optimising electrode placement during cochlear implant surgery. The Nucleus SmartNav system delivers wireless, actionable intra operative insights to support electrode insertion with real-time navigation, providing surgeons with added assurance of a successful surgical outcome for their patients. The system consists of an innovative iPad-based solution and a surgical sound processor that presents an intuitive workflow to support surgery, giving surgeons additional feedback for in-theatre decision making.
