The Sentio system is an osseointegrating, transcutaneous active bone conduction hearing system that uses the body's natural ability to transfer sound through bone conduction, thus offering improvement of hearing for patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss whether unilaterally or bilaterally fitted, or for those with single sided deafness. A bone conduction system transmits sound directly to the cochlea independently of the function of the ear canal and middle ear. The Sentio system primarily consists of a sound processor (Sentio 1 Mini) and an implant (Sentio Ti Implant). The two components are kept in relation to each other by means of a magnetic retention system. The sound is picked up by the microphones in the external sound processor, processed and transmitted by a transmission coil using a radio frequency (RF) link through the intact skin to an implant placed in the temporal and mastoid bone area. The receiver coil of the implant receives the signal that is converted into mechanical energy (vibrations) by the transducer. The vibrations are conveyed from the bottom of the transducer to the skull and thereafter by means of bone conduction to the cochlea. In the cochlea the vibrations are converted to signals that are transmitted to the brain through the auditory nerve. The Sentio system is intended for improvement of hearing for patients with conductive or mixed hearing losses up to 45 dB BC. The implant has been tested and verified to allow for larger mixed hearing losses, up to an anticipated 65 dB BC.

The difference between the left and right sides' BC thresholds should be less than 10 dB on average measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz, or less than 15 dB at individual frequencies. · Patients who have profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the opposite ear (i.e., singlesided deafness or "SSD"). The pure tone average air conduction hearing ear should be better than or equal to 20 dB HL (measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz). • The Osia System for SSD is also indicated for any patient who is indicated for an air-conduction contralateral routing of signals (AC CROS) hearing aid, but who for some reason cannot or will not use an AC CROS. · Prior to receiving the device, it is recommended that an individual have experience with appropriately fitted air conduction or bone conduction hearing aids.

The Osia System mechanically vibrates the skull bone and subsequently the cochlea to compensate for conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, or single-sided sensorineural deafness (SSD). The Osia System is made up of several components. The Osia Implant consists of a receiver/coil and an actuator/stimulator (vibrator) which is surgically implanted on the skull bone. The external component of the Osia System is a sound processor, worn off-the-ear, which picks up the sound from the environment, and sends, after processing, the information to the implant via a transcutaneous inductive link. This link is also referred to as radiofrequency (RF) link. Each Osia System is configured to meet an individual's hearing needs, using dedicated fitting software.

The Cochlear Osia System uses bone conduction to transmit sounds to the cochlea (inner ear) with the purpose of enhancing hearing. Osia Implants are single use devices intended for long term implantation under the skin in the mastoid region of either side of the head. They are for professional use only.

The Osia 2 System, also known as Osia System, mechanically vibrates the skull bone and subsequently the cochlea to compensate for conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, or single-sided sensorineural deafness (SSD). The Osia 2 System is made up of several components. The Osia implant (OSI200) consists of a receiver/coil and an actuator/stimulator (vibrator) which is surgically implanted on the skull bone.

This link is also referred to as radiofrequency (RF) link. Each Osia 2 System is configured to meet an individual's hearing needs, using dedicated fitting software. In normal operation, the Osia System functions as follows: - 1. The external sound processor captures and digitally processes sound. - 2. The sound processor transmits power and digital information to the implant coil/receiver. - 3. The implant stimulator/actuator converts the digital information into an electric analogue signal that is converted to vibrations by the implant piezoelectric actuator. - This implant is fixed to the bone by the BI300 implant (K100360). 4. The actuator converts the electrical signal into an amplified mechanical stimulation, bypassing the impaired middle ear (origin of the conductive part of the hearing loss) and providing some level of mechanical amplification in order to compensate for the damaged inner ear (sensorineural part of the hearing loss, in case of mixed hearing loss). The updated Osia 2 System consists of modifications to the cleared OSI200 Implant, Osia 2 Sound Processor and Osia Fitting Software 2. All other components of the system remain unchanged from the cleared predicate. The Cochlear MRI Kit is being introduced for use by Osia recipients. The MRI Kit is an accessory that enables an MR scan at 1.5T without the need to surgically remove a compatible Osia implant's magnet.

BONEBRIDGE augments hearing by providing acoustic input to the inner ear via bone conduction. BONEBRIDGE consists of the following components: The Bone Conduction Implant (BCI) and the externally worn audio processor. The BCI 601 implant is provided in an implant kit together with two templates to determine optimal implant placement, one drill bit, two regular cortical titanium screws (gold surface) and one emergency screw (blue surface). All devices are shipped in one sterile tray and are for single-use only. The Bone Conduction Implant (BCI) is the implantable part of BONEBRIDGE and can only be used together with compatible MED-EL external components. The device is an osseointegrated bone conduction implant system, intended to provide a level of useful sound perception for individuals with conductive and mixed hearing loss, as well as those suffering from single-sided deafness. The BCI is surgically implanted into the mastoid bone. The BCI 601 has two main sections, the coil section and the transducer section. The BCl 601 consists of a magnet surrounded by the receiver coil, the electronics (demodulator), the transition and the Bone Conduction - Floating Mass Transducer (BC-FMT). The BCI 601 is activated by placing the external audio processor over the magnet of the BCI 601. The signal and the energy to drive the BC-FMT are transferred via an inductive link to the internal coil, processed by the demodulator and then relayed to the BC-FMT. The BC-FMT transduces the signal into mechanical vibrations, which are conducted to the mastoid bone via the cortical titanium screws. These vibrations stimulate the auditory system through the bone conduction pathway to allow the patient to hear.
