The Halo Accessory is a loss prevention device for your
sound processor. It provides users of the Off-the Ear (OTE)
Kanso 2 Sound Processor with improved security against
dropping the device. Hairclips will be required to use with the
Halo Accessory.
Note
There is an option to use double-loop safety lines to attach
hairclips to the Halo Accessory after removing the rings.
The Halo Accessory should be used by recipients who can
either remove the sound processor themselves if it’s causing
discomfort or who can indicate any discomfort to their parent
or caregiver.

Warnings
• If your sound processor becomes warmer than usual,
remove it immediately and seek advice from your clinician.
Parents/caregivers: if your recipient indicates discomfort,
check if their sound processor is warmer than usual.
• Sound processors and related accessories contain small
parts that alone or in combination may pose a hazard of
inhalation, choking or ingestion. Swallowing or inhaling
small parts can cause severe or fatal injuries. Use the
tamper-resistant locks to keep small parts attached to the
processing unit where available. Always supervise children
under 3 years of age and others who may be at risk of
inhalation, choking or ingestion of small parts when they
use the sound processor and related accessories. When not
in use, keep small parts, and combinations of small parts,
out of reach from children. If small parts are swallowed or
inhaled, seek immediate medical attention.
• The Halo Accessory and sound processor should be
protected from excessive heat sources such as prolonged
exposure to bright sunlight. Before wearing the Halo
Accessory and sound processor, check the surface to
ensure it is not too hot to wear without discomfort to skin.

12Kanso Halo Accessory User Guide
EN
• Exposure of the sound processor and Halo Accessory to
temperatures above the operating range (+5° C/+41° F
to +40° C/+104° F) could lead to increased risk of sound
processor shutdown or malfunction due to overheating.
• If you experience tightness or pain at the implant site, or
develop significant skin irritation, stop using your sound
processor and contact your clinician.
• If the coil magnet is too strong, pressure sores may
develop at the implant site. If this happens, or if you
experience any discomfort in this area, contact your
clinician.
• No modification of this equipment is allowed.
• Use only as intended.
• Report unexpected problems to your clinician.
