Important information

Hearing instruments should not be fitted with domes/wax

protection system when used by patients with perforated

eardrums, inflamed ear canals or otherwise exposed

middle ear cavities. In these cases, we recommend the

use of a custom earpiece.

In the unlikely case that any part of the system remains

in the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to consult a

medical specialist for safe removal.

•The dome should be changed every three months or when

it becomes stiff or brittle. This is to prevent the dome from

detaching from the receiver sound outlet during insertion

into or removal from the ear.

•Changes or modifications made to this equipment not

expressly approved by Phonak are not allowed.

Thank you for choosing a Phonak Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)

product, designed to provide comfortable, flexible fittings

for your patients.

These assembly instructions provide you with a straight-forward

approach to fitting Phonak RIC hearing instruments for

long-term satisfaction.

Please note that all SDS 4.0 components

are only compatible with Phonak Audéo™

Marvel devices.

1. Position your head at the same horizontal level as the patient’s

head so you are looking straight into the patient’s ear. (a)

2. Hold the measurement tool with the appropriate blue or

red color code marking so your thumb is placed on the

colored area. (b)

3. Place the measurement tool on the top of the ear. Keep the

lines on the measurement tool horizontal. (b)

4. Choose the number (0, 1, 2, or 3) on the measurement tool

which is closest to the top of the opening of the ear canal.

In this example, 0 would be the most accurate choice. (c)

5. For binaural fittings, repeat process on the opposite ear.

Note:

It is important to measure both ears for a binaural fitting since right and

left ear sizes can vary and may require different receiver lengths.

right left

Selecting the receiver length

Dome size

Perform an otoscopic examination of your patient’s ear canal. Based on the

examination, choose a dome size diameter and length suitable for the ear canal.

The dome should fit snugly and comfortably into the opening of the patient’s ear

canal, shown in the figure, and help to retain the receiver inside.

*There are no coupling instructions for cShell as it is pre-assembled. Receiver with cShell can only be exchanged by Phonak.

Removing the retention

We recommend using the retention piece for a

more stable positioning of the receiver in the ear

canal. It can easily be pre-shaped to the concha

by sliding it over a solid edge.

Attaching / removing the retention to/ from the receiver

1. Hold receiver rmly with one hand.

1. Hold the receiver rmly in one

hand with the receiver name

(e.g. 0M) facing upwards. With

the other hand hold the retention

at the base of the lament.

Attaching the retention

2. Slide the retention over the

receiver spout until you feel it

click into place. The receiver

name should still be clearly visible.

2. Slide the retention forwards over

the receiver spout.

Attaching the dome to the receiver

1. Hold the receiver in one hand and the dome in

the other hand.

2. Slide the dome over the receiver spout.

You will feel the dome “click” into place.

In very rare cases, the dome can remain in the

ear canal when removing the receiver from the

ear. In the unlikely case that any parts remain

in the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to

see a medical specialist for safe removal.

Attaching the SlimTip to the receiver

1. Slide the receiver into the sleeve of the handling

tool, ensure the receiver label (e.g. 0M) is visible

and facing upwards, and the receiver cable is

extending upwards. Note that the tool has three

dierent sized sleeves to accommodate S, M and

P receiver housings.

3. Gently insert the receiver spout into the SlimTip Link

until you feel it click into place securely.

2. Hold the SlimTip rmly with one hand, with the

other hand insert the receiver using the handling

tool. Note that the printed label on the SlimTip

faces the opposite direction to the receiver label.

4. Gently slide the tool away from the receiver.
