HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 1, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 @Dave in Pittsburgh alerted us to a change in Med-El’s instructions about disposable batteries in dry kits. Med-El now instructs us NOT to place disposable batteries in dry kits. Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 2, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 In the 4 years I have been a CI user, Med-El USA has included three different Dry Kits in CI kits. Zephyr Dry and Store with Briks that are changed out every two months It takes 8 hours to complete a cycle. It operates at 36-40 degrees C. DRY STAR It takes 4 hours to complete a cycle. It operates at 50 degrees C. DRY SPACE It takes 5 hours to complete a cycle. It operates at 45 degrees C. Until recently, Med-El user guides stated that disposable batteries could go in the dry kit. Now Med-El says no disposable batteries in dry kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted March 2, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 It appears to be due to the new dry kit, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 2, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 @Mary Featherston I don’t know. The new DRY SPACE operates at a cooler temperature than the previous DRY STAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Valentin Posted March 2, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I never remove them since the first. I use "DryStar" dryer.. I knew that rechargeable batteries never may put inside, but no commented about disposable batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 2, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 @Valentin Me too. Med-El instructions had said we could leave disposable batteries in the dry kit. Now Med-El’s instructions say not to leave disposable batteries in the dry kit.

Sid Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Why has MED-El not contacted all users on this change regarding no batteries in dryer?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 And the mystery surrounding disposable batteries in dry kits continues. In the new Sonnet 2 guide, it says we can leave disposable batteries in the dry kits. Either Med-El has not altered that direction yet or we are back to being able to leave disposable batteries in dry kits. ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Valentin Posted July 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Mary Beth, I think they want to avoid people forget rechargeable battery (that are a serious problem) mantain inside of dryer. New people when receive the kits are no familiar with batteries, procedures, drying. For avoid issues, MED EL, indicate neither batteries on drying, and they avoid some or a lot of problems.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 5, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 @Valentin Possibly but at the present moment Med-El is sending mixed messages about whether it is okay to keep disposable batteries in the dry kits. In some of Med-El guides they changed from okay for disposables to no for disposables. Yet in their new guide for Sonnet 2 it says okay for disposables again. They have always said no for rechargeable batteries. I agree. That could be a big problem. It is just confusing a bit. It may also be related to the new Dry Space Kit Med-El is using now. The white Dry Star kit allowed disposable batteries. The Dry Space Kit directions advise removing them. What do you do with your Rondo 1 batteries? Remove them or leave them in the dry kit?

HearPeers Heroes Valentin Posted July 6, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Probably the old manufactured packets have old guides, and new one with new indications. I suppose that all the centers have't the same number of surgeons, but have quantify of previous processors in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 6, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I think you are correct @Valentin. In support on Med-El’s website it says no disposable batteries in dry kit for Sonnet 2. In support under Sonnet 2 Quick Guide on Med-El’s website it says disposable batteries are okay in dry kits. Med-El probably has just not updated the Sonnet 2 Quick Guide yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 6, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Most likely the new rule remains. No disposable batteries in dry kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 16, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 @mopakarim8700 I don’t know. Med-El has conflicting info about disposable batteries in dry kits, even for the new Sonnet 2 manuals/guides. Maybe @MED-EL Moderator will clarify this change in instructions about disposable batteries in dry kits for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MED-EL Moderator Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi @Mary Beth, Sorry for the confusion about this. In the “Support” section on our website, you can find the latest update with our experts’ recommendation on how to use the dry kits for the different audio processors. For SONNET and SONNET 2 all batteries should be removed before placing the audio processor in the drying kit: https://www.medel.com/support/audio-processors/sonnet/basic-care/sonnet_basiccareandmaintenace https://www.medel.com/support/audio-processors/sonnet2/basic-care/sonnet2_basiccareandmaintenance The same applies to RONDO: https://www.medel.com/support/audio-processors/rondo/basic-care/rondo_basiccareandmaintenace Hope this helps! Kind regards, Verena Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
