IRIS™ implant identification

MED-EL’s unique implant identification feature, IRIS™ (Individual Recognition of the Implant System), prevents stimulation from occurring if the incorrect speech processor is worn. This is particularly important for children with bilateral implants and for school and group situations with numerous children using implants.


Status Light

The Status Light is a small LED integrated in the OPUS speech processors. It provides parents and educators a visual indication of normal function and signals situations which require attention, for example when the batteries are low.


Safety locks

All OPUS wearing options can be locked to ensure that no parts of the speech processor can be removed or tampered with.


SoundGuard

The OPUS speech processors self-monitor all programmed data continuously to protect against inconsistencies, for example as a result of static electricity. If a problem is detected SoundGuard automatically stops stimulation and the Status Light flashes. By turning the processor off and on, all map information is restored, and no further action is required by the user.
