About this guide
The Cochlear™Aqua+ for Kanso® 2 is a re-usable sealable
cover that keeps your Cochlear Kanso 2 Sound Processor
(model number: CP1150) dry when used in or around water
(e�g� when swimming or in the bath)� It is worn on your
implant with your sound processor sealed inside�
This Aqua+ is intended for use by people who use the Kanso 2
Sound Processor� It should only be used by people who can
either remove the sound processor themselves if it’s causing
discomfort or who can indicate any discomfort to their parent
or caregiver�
The Nucleus®Safety Line is a retention option to help
prevent accidental loss of your Aqua+ by securing it to your
clothing with a snap-lock clip�
While using Aqua+ you can also use the following, providing
they are protected from water and kept dry:
• your smartphone (with the Cochlear Nucleus Smart App)
• Cochlear CR310 Remote Control
• Cochlear wireless accessories�
Testing shows Aqua+ can be:
• used at depths of up to 3 metres for up to 2 hours�
• re-used up to 50 times, but this may vary according to
how you use it�
There have been no reported undesirable side effects from
using Aqua+�
