Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Solution
Use sterile water:
Boil tap water for 3–5 minutes, then cool to body temperature (37°C/98.6°F).
Alternatively, use pre-bottled distilled or sterile water.
Mix saline solution:
Add 1 pre-packaged saline packet (included with the device) to the water tank.
For homemade solution: Combine ½ teaspoon non-iodized salt + ½ teaspoon baking soda per 1 cup water.
Fill the tank: Pour the solution into the device’s reservoir (up to the “MAX” line).
-
Assemble the Device
Attach the silicone nozzle securely to the irrigation wand.
Ensure the tank is locked into place on the main unit.
-
Adjust Settings
Power on the device using the button.
Select your preferred pressure level:
Low (1 bar): For gentle irrigation or sensitive noses.
Medium (1.5 bars): Daily maintenance.
High (2 bars): For thick mucus or severe congestion.
-
Position Your Body
Over a sink: Lean forward slightly, keeping your head down.
Tilt head 45°: Rotate your head to one side (ear toward shoulder).
Open mouth: Breathe through your mouth to prevent swallowing water.
-
Initiate Irrigation
Insert the nozzle into the upper nostril (the one tilted toward the ceiling).
Press the activation button to start the flow.
Allow the solution to flow through the upper nostril and exit the lower nostril.
Do not inhale during irrigation.
-
Switch Sides
After 30–60 seconds, release the button and remove the nozzle.
Gently blow your nose (into a tissue).
Tilt your head to the opposite side and repeat the process.
-
Post-Rinse Care
Empty the tank: Discard any remaining solution.
Clean the device:
Disassemble the tank, nozzle, and wand.
Rinse with warm soapy water.
Air-dry or pat dry with a clean towel.
Store in a dust-free area.
Tips for Optimal Use
- Start slow: New users should begin with the lowest pressure setting.
- Temperature check: Ensure the solution is lukewarm to avoid shocking nasal tissues.
- Frequency: Limit to 1–2 times daily unless directed otherwise by a clinician.
- Replace parts: Change the silicone nozzle every 3 months for hygiene.
Safety Precautions
- Avoid tap water: Never use untreated tap water to prevent infections like Naegleria fowleri.
- Do not share: The device is for individual use only.
- Consult a doctor: If you have frequent nosebleeds, a history of ear/nose surgery, or active infections.
Troubleshooting
- Leakage: Ensure the tank is properly locked and the nozzle is snugly attached.
- Weak flow: Check for clogs in the nozzle and clean with the included brush.
- Ear discomfort: Stop irrigation, tilt your head to drain fluid, and reduce pressure next time.
