Brief Summary:
Non-significant risk evaluation of the iotaSOFT Insertion System when used by a surgeon to assist with inserting a cochlear implant electrode array.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cochlear Implant Device: iotaSOFT Insertion System Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
This is a confirmatory study to assess successful peri-procedural use of the iotaSOFT Insertion System and potential adverse events that may be caused by use of the system during cochlear implant surgery.

Arm Intervention/treatment
iotaSOFT Insertion System
The iotaSOFT Insertion System is a surgical device that aids the surgeon in implanting cochlear electrode arrays by controlling the speed and distance of implant insertion. All subjects enrolled in the trial will have the iotaSOFT Insertion System used during surgery.
Device: iotaSOFT Insertion System
Enrolled subjects undergoing cochlear implant surgery will have the iotaSOFT Insertion System used by the surgeon to assist with implantation of the implant electrode array during the procedure.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of subjects experiencing a peri-procedural adverse event due to use of the iotaSOFT Insertion System during cochlear implant surgery [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    Proportion of subjects experiencing a peri-procedural adverse event due to use of the iotaSOFT Insertion System and descriptions of reported adverse events. AEs will be summarized by type and number of subjects experiencing an event.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Successful surgical use of the iotaSOFT Insertion System during cochlear implant surgery as measured by a surgeon utility questionnaire. The questionnaire will be used to calculate the proportion of subjects in which the device performed as intended. [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    The questionnaire will collect device handling data on proportion of subjects in which the device performed as intended, device utility, and ease of use.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Procedural duration of time for insertion of the electrode array (mean, range) [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    The duration of time it takes for electrode array insertion will be measured

  2. Proportion of subjects in which the cochlear implant electrode was in the correct position post-procedure [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    Post-procedural x-ray with cochlea view will be obtained to radiographically demonstrate positioning of the electrode.

  3. Adverse events reported during the follow-up period as documented by impedance and neural response telemetry testing. Adverse events will be categorized by type and number of participants experiencing an event. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Potential risks and benefits of iotaSOFT will be assessed and characterized through data obtained during the post-surgical follow-up period while conducting impedance measurements and neural response telemetry.
