Exam Preview for 42431: The Next Generation of Osia: Introducing Os

The Next Generation of Osia: Introducing Osia® 3 Sound Processor

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. What are the unique aspects of a piezoelectric active bone conduction system (Osia System) compared to electromagnetic active bone conduction systems (Bonebridge, Sentio, etc.)? The piezoelectric transducer bone conduction system enables access to MRI at 1.5 T and 3.0 T without the need for a headwrap or surgery. The piezoelectric bone conduction system and the active electromagnetic bone conduction systems both have an analog link to the sound processor and implant. Both the piezoelectric bone conduction system and the active electromagnetic bone conduction systems are not transcutaneous. The piezoelectric bone conduction system does not offer a difference in fitting range compared to the active electromagnetic bone conduction systems.
2. What are the unique features available to patients with the Osia 3 Sound Processor? Input frequency range of 100 Hz-9.5 kHz Disposable batteries IP57 Waterproof rating Analog Link
3. What was the average improvement in high-frequency gain reported in the SONUS study when comparing the Osia 3 sound processor to the Osia 2 sound processor? 5 dB average improvement across 4,6,8 kHz 8 dB average improvement across 4,6,8 kHz 11 dB average improvement across 4,6,8 kHz No significant improvement
4. 4.According to the SONUS study, what was the improvement in speech perception in noise with the Osia 3 Sound Processor with Forward Focus compared to the Osia 2 Sound Processor? Difference of 3.2% Difference of 4.7% Difference of 5.8% Difference of 7.3%
5. When is a recipient considered eligible for a replacement sound processor? When the device is out of warranty and supported by current medical needs. When the device is at least 5 years old. When the recipient wants a new color of device. When the recipients wants the latest technology.
