Cochlear™ Nucleus® Reliability
Cochlear™ Nucleus® Reliability Reporting:
Human needs have always been our inspiration. We start with people in mind and the understanding that reliability is incredibly important in helping recipients experience a life full of hearing.
Cochlear has now provided more than 475,000 cochlear implants to people of all ages across more than 180 countries. When someone chooses Cochlear, they are choosing a quality partner who will support their hearing experience over the long term. We are the leader in implant reliability for both adults and children, and no other cochlear implant manufacturer can demonstrate the same reliability track record.
About our reporting
Cochlear reliability reporting provides reliability data for the internal (cochlear implant) and external (sound processor) components of our Nucleus Implant Systems.
Implant reliability data
The implant data in the annual reliability report is based on the reporting methodology recommended by International Standard ISO 5841-2 1,2, the reporting principles outlined in the European Consensus Statement on Cochlear Implant Failures and Explantations 3 and expert recommendations from the International Classification of Reliability for Implanted Cochlear Implant Receiver Stimulators 4. This annual reliability report meets the standards for cochlear implant reliability reporting outlined in these standards.
For implant reliability data based on the reporting standards and methodology recommended by ANSI/AAMI CI86 – Cochlear implant systems: Requirements for safety, functional verification, labeling and reliability reporting 5, the Cochlear Nucleus ANSI/AAMI Standard report will continue to be available on an annual basis.
Sound processor reliability data
The sound processor data in our annual reliability report meets the reporting standards and methodology recommended by ANSI/AAMI CI86 – Cochlear implant systems: Requirements for safety, functional verification, labeling and reliability reporting.5
