Cochlear Baha Cordelle II Mode D'emploi page 7

English
When you brush, aim the bristles at the side of the abutment rather than at the
skin. Your focus should be to remove crust and debris around the base of the
abutment rather than brushing your skin. Your skin is delicate and should not be
treated too harshly.
Remember, it is important to keep your soft brush clean too!
After cleaning, gently dry the area around the abutment with a clean towel
or tissue. Do not allow your hair to wrap itself around the abutment. If you use a
hairdryer do not keep hot air on the abutment for too long.
Weekly care
If you use an abutment cover it will help keep the inside of the abutment clean.
However, the inside of the abutment should still be cleaned on a weekly basis.
The soft brush can also be used for cleaning inside the abutment. Again, this is
best done in conjunction with a bath or shower when soap and warm water can
soften dirt making it easy to remove.
Skin debris or any other dirt in the abutment can prevent a smooth fitting of the
abutment to your abutment cover and head worn unit. This could potentially
lead to damage of your head worn unit.

You will have routine check-ups, initially every 4-6 months and later every
6-12 months.
However, should you experience any persistent irritation, soreness or
any other signs of inflammation around the abutment, always contact
your doctor.
Maintenance of your Baha ® Cordelle II
Do not get the sound processor wet.
The sound processor can be worn during waking hours apart from when you take
a bath, shower, or swim.
Keep in mind that the sound processor consists of two delicate electrical devices
that should be used with due care and attention. When engaging in physical
activities, use common sense. If the activity is of such a nature that the sound
processor risks getting damaged (for example contact sports) – remove it!
