2.1.1.1 Setting Up the ABI Equipment

Before switch-on

• Since tuning the Nucleus 24 ABI is time-consuming, consider scheduling

the recipient for programming over two to three days. The underlying

medical condition might also mean individual sessions need to be short.

• Counsel the recipient about the tuning procedure and assess their

expectations.

• Since successful programming of the Nucleus 24 ABI relies upon good

recipient feedback, before each test session and each individual test, give

clear instructions to the recipient

• Take a CT scan and/or MRI to check the electrode array has not moved

from the lateral recess. You may take this scan any time between two

weeks after surgery and the morning of the switch-on.

Caution: Recipients who do not have the internal magnet removed from

their implant may be subject to additional regional restrictions with Magnetic

Resonance Imaging (MRI). If the magnet requires removal, see the Nucleus 24

ABI Surgeon’s Guide for more information.

Programming equipment

Use Custom Sound software and a Pod (for a Freedom sound processor) or a

Portable Programming System (PPS) (for a SPrint sound processor) to program

the Nucleus 24 ABI.
