HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted January 29, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 What added benefits are there - do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 29, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I am not sure if there are added benefits or if it is another option for surgery approach (like the pin is an option already).

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted January 29, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes, I'd guess that it's not all that different or it wouldn't just be a PMA supplement. Just curious, really, it won't end up in my head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 29, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 @Mary Featherston Since I have been implanted all CI items have been supplements on the same FDA number. Sonnet Rondo 2 Maestro 6 with ASM 2 Maestro 7 with triphasic pulses Synchrony I am not sure how that all works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted January 29, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 @Mary Beth 510(k) submissions are kind of complex. Med-El probably submitted the whole system, because you can't just use a processor, you have to have the implant, the processor, and the software that makes them work and lets you map them. That means that individual components that get released (like Rondo2) will be added to the PMA so that they are regarded as part of the system. Given Med-El's focus on backwards compatibility, I can't imagine how any new component would be other than an addition to the original PMA. If they created an entirely new cochlear implant that doesn't work with these components, then it would probably require its own submission, but that would be a fairly radical departure from the way they manage this business (at least that I've seen). Even then, if the device is deemed substantially similar it could probably be released on the original 510(k). Navigating regulatory submissions in various countries around the world is increasingly complex, and particularly so for companies like Med-El that make implanted devices that remain in the patient's body. Our products are all Class I and Class II and subject to similar, but less onerous, regulatory strictures. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 30, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 It is thicker in one section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted January 30, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 There must be some benefit or I doubt they'd make it bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 30, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I agree. I asked on Med-El’s official FB page and Verena is checking on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 7, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 @MED-EL Moderator Are you able to tell us what the difference is in the FDA approved Synchrony ST implant compared to the Synchrony implant? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MED-EL Moderator Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hi @Mary Beth, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this. The implant housing of SYNCHRONY ST is slightly thicker than the Mi1200. In addition, only the Mi1200 is available with a pin fixation. Although the Mi1210 SYNCHRONY ST cochlear implant was approved by the FDA, at this time there are no immediate plans to release this product in the US. Thanks for your patience, and sorry again for the delay in replying :). Kind regards, Mary Jewel and Mary Beth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Does anyone have more information about the "Mi1250 Synchrony 2" implant that received FDA approval on 06/04/19? See screenshot of FDA premarket approval database below. More details also here: https://fda.report/GUDID/09008737366780 - device is listed as "in commercial distribution" status.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 14, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 @Luke I saw this public FB post mentioning the Synchrony 2 from the ACIA pediatric conference in Miami that just wrapped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a guide like this for Synchrony 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Yes, I saw the same post on Facebook. I could not find any guide or data sheet like there is for the Mi1200 and Mi1210. From the FDA approval it reads like the electrode array leads do not anymore exit sideways but centered from the receiver/stimulator unit. That likely required a PCB and packaging redesign so I wonder if the internal electronics have also been updated. But googeling for "Synchrony 2" and/or "Mi1250" does not bring up anything except on the FDA pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks. I found the same image in a July 19 press release on FDA approved SSD & AHL indications, which did, however, not mention anything regarding an Mi1250 implant. Below is a higher resolution snapshot from the PDF. What's interesting is that the wires still seem to exit on the left side of the electronics enclosure as before, but are then routed in the silicone around the enclosure towards the center where the electrode carrier is attached. Maybe there was no PCB/electronics redesign after all... Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
