Important safety information

As outlined in Lyric user guide
Please read and maintain the following important
safety information when you start working with
Lyric2.
Please refer to the Lyric/Lyric2 User Guide for important
safety information, compliance information and
information about FDA regulations.
If any abnormalities are detected during otoscopy the
customer must be referred to an ENT doctor. As for any
other hearing aid, it is recommended to have the ear
canal assessed by an ENT doctor prior to the initial sizing
and fitting of Lyric2.
Changes or modifications to the hearing aid that were
not explicitly approved by Phonak are not permitted.
Such changes may damage the ear or the hearing aid.
Phonak is not responsible for situations resulting from
the insertion of a modified device.
The SoundLync contains a magnet. If a medical device
like a pacemaker is used, read the specific user guide to
clarify possible impact of magnetic fields to the medical
device. The SoundLync must not be placed in the breast
pocket. Keep a distance of at least 15cm (6 inches)
between the SoundLync and the medical device.
The hearing aid is a potential choking or swallowing
hazard so it should be kept out of reach of children,
mentally challenged people and pets. If hearing aids are
swallowed, consult a medical practitioner immediately!
The hearing aids must not be used in explosive areas
(mines or industrial areas with danger of explosions).
If Lyric2 stops working for any reason, it must be
removed within 24 hours and the patient should see a
hearing care professional to check the ear canal.
Do not put cotton swabs or anything else in the ear
canal. They could damage the hearing aid and/or injure
the ear.
Scuba diving or diving underwater as well as skydiving
may cause injury to the ear or damage to the hearing
aid. These activities are prohibited while wearing Lyric2.
Medical imaging procedures, such as MRI scans, may
cause injury to the ear or damage the hearing aid. Lyric2
must be removed prior to having an MRI scan because it
contains metallic parts.
Complete submersion of the ears while wearing Lyric2 is
not recommended unless a custom made ear plug is
worn as this may cause damage to the hearing aid.
Lyric2 is designed for single-use. Once removed, it
cannot be reinserted.
Using the SoundLync: the SoundLync should not rest
against the skin of those with allergies to nickel.
