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 built into the earhook of the OPUS 2. 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 2 wearing options can be locked to ensure that no parts of the speech processor can be removed or tampered with. Similarly, the FineTuner can be locked or programmed to disable certain functions so that settings cannot be changed inadvertently.


SoundGuard

The OPUS 2 self-monitors all programmed data continuously to protect against inconsistencies, for example as a result of ESD or 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.


Private alert

The private alert function provides OPUS 2 users acoustic signals to indicate low battery levels and setting changes made with the FineTuner. Private alert signals are audible only to the wearer of the speech processor and can be customised or deactivated by your audiologist.
