  11. ABI 24 Advantages and Benefits • Optimizes stimulation using 21 distinct sites. • Potential to Confirm placement using NRT. • Widest choice of Coding strategies.

  12. MRI Considerations

  13. MRI Static Magnetic Field (1.5T) Magnetic Switched Gradients (20 T/s) Radio Frequency (RF) Energy (2-16KW peak @ 64 MHz) FORCE in Magnetic components CURRENT in conducting components HEAT

  14. Removal of Nucleus 24 ABI Magnet

  15. Tests to Ensure ReliabilityImpact Test Cochlear routinely conducts tests to ensure the reliability of our products. For example, the CI24M implant has undergone extreme impact testing to verify ruggedness by simulating a blow to the head of a T-ball travelling at 65.0km/h (40.4mph). Test rig: impact hammer with T-ball with a mass of 3.6 kg (7.9lb), dropped through 450mm (17.7in).
