Frequently Asked Questions
Baha SoundArc
®
Care and Maintenance
22. How should I clean the Baha SoundArc?
The Baha SoundArc can be cleaned with alcohol wipes or other
germicidal wipes when dirt is present on the band or silicone
tips. Ensure the Connector disc is free of dirt and debris before
connecting a sound processor. Baha SoundArc, with processor
removed, can be washed under water and should be dried
thoroughly prior to use. A Baha sound processor should never
be submerged or come into contact with water.
23. How should I clean the Baha SoundArc in the clinic?
For clinical demonstration use or when using the same
band on multiple users, the Baha SoundArc should be wiped
as indicated above and the Baha SoftWear Pad should be
changed between users.
24. What are the risk for allergic reactions?
The Baha SoundArc uses materials that are not made with
natural rubber latex and are biocompatible. The silicone tips
are 100% silicone. Perform an allergy contact test prior to
use, if there is any risk for patient reaction.

25. What is the expected lifetime of the Baha SoundArc?
Baha SoundArc carries the same 90 day warranty as Baha
Softband. It can be used for approximately one year under
normal use, even with adjustments made over time.
26. Is there a risk of permanently deforming
or damaging the Baha SoundArc when using it
as a demo tool?
The Baha SoundArc is designed to be used as a demo and
counseling tool and has been tested to retain its general
shape, even with significant bending. There is little to no risk
of permanent deformation, but professionals may wish to
periodically reshape their demo Baha SoundArc to its original
shape (using a new Baha SoundArc as a guide) to make it
easier and faster to fit on new patients.
