Patients implanted with magnetic externally programmable
CSF shunt valves may have a risk of experiencing an
unintended change in their valve setting when exposed to
strong magnetic elds.
The receiver (loudspeaker) of hearing aids, the Lyric SoundLync,
the Lyric programming wand and the MiniControl contain
static magnets. Keep a distance of 2 inches (approx. 5 cm) or
more between the magnets and the site of the implanted
shunt valve.
WARNING: The hearing aids use a lithium button/coin battery.
These batteries are hazardous and can cause severe or fatal
injuries in 2 hours or less if they are swallowed or placed
inside any part of the body, whether the battery is used or
new! Keep out of the reach of children, individuals with
cognitive impairment, or pets. If you suspect that a battery
was swallowed or placed inside any part of the body,
immediately consult your physician without any delay!
