MED-EL’s team of experts will analyze the images within OTOPLAN¹ and will provide you with a detailed report within 2 business days.² Preoperative reports include individualized cochlear parameters and electrode visualization for our FLEX series electrodes, while the postoperative reports include electrode insertion status and contact identification.

A file will be provided to import this data into MAESTRO fitting software to enable Anatomy-Based Fitting.

2 Disclaimer: Not all OTOPLAN functions are indicated for use with abnormal or malformed cochlea. The information displayed in OTOPLAN compares MED-EL electrode parameters to a patient’s estimated cochlear anatomy. The software and analysis report do not select or recommend a specific electrode array. Responsibility for electrode selection rests solely with the health care professional. Furthermore, frequency estimates displayed in OTOPLAN are based on the estimated position of a patient’s electrode array and may not reflect patient perception. Frequency estimates and Anatomy-Based Fitting are pieces of clinical information the audiologist may choose to incorporate into the overall cochlear implant mapping procedure for an individual patient. OTOPLAN is not meant to replace the professional judgment of experienced health care providers.
