Cautions

Young children who are developing motor skills are at greater

risk of an impact to the head from a hard object (e.g. table or

chair). Impact to the sound processor may cause damage to

the processor or its parts. Impact to the head in the area of the

implant could damage the implant and result in its failure.

Warnings

For parents and caregivers

• Removable parts of the system (batteries, magnets,

battery door, safety line) can be lost or may be a choking or

strangulation hazard. Keep out of reach of children or lock the

battery door.

• Caregivers must routinely check the device for signs of

overheating and for signs of discomfort or skin irritation at

the implant site. Remove the processor immediately if there is

any discomfort or pain (e.g. if device becomes hot or sound is

uncomfortably loud) and inform your hearing care professional.

• Caregivers must monitor for signs of discomfort or skin

irritation if a retention aid (e.g. headband) is used that applies

pressure to the sound processor. Remove the aid immediately

if there is any discomfort or pain, and inform your hearing

care professional.

• Dispose of used batteries promptly and carefully, in accordance

with local regulations. Keep the battery away from children.

• Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult

supervision.
