the handle to temporarily discontinue the irrigation if
you wish to spit. (To turn the fl ow on, push the knob
upward, and to turn it off, push the knob downward.)
Or, you can just remove the nasal tip from your nostril.
•
Use 125 to 250 mL, or 4 to 8 ounces, of solution for
each nostril.
•
Blow your nose very gently, ensuring not to pinch
completely to avoid pressure on your eardrums. If
tolerable, sniff in any residual solution remaining in the
nasal passage once or twice. This may clean out the
posterior nasopharyngeal area, which is the area at the
back of your nasal passage. Generally, the fl uid in your
sinuses will exit about 20 minutes later when the cilia
are activated
.

Instructions for Cleaning and Disinfecting
Device:
•
Refi ll the basin with distilled or bottled or previously
boiled and cooled water and run the machine to fl ush
out any residual solution. To drain water, drop the level
of the handle in an open position below the machine
level to siphon out the solution.
•
Turn basin upside down with top open to allow for the
air. When dry, replace the basin on the machine. Be
sure lid is kept closed. Do not leave water in the basin.
•
After each use, clean the tip with warm water and
dishwashing detergent. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and
dry completely.
For regular use, follow one of the below disinfecting
protocols every 1 to 2 weeks:
Household Bleach Disinfection Protocol:
Add 60 mL
(about 2 oz) of bleach and fi ll the basin with water. Run
the machine for about 120 mL (4 oz) back into the basin.
Place nasal and throat attachments you have used into
the basin. Carefully time 10 minutes and run the solution
out through the machine. Rinse the basin thoroughly. Fill
with fresh water and run three to four full cycles, or until
the solution no longer has the bleach smell. Never use
bleach full strength as this will damage the washer rings
(O rings). Soaking longer than 10 minutes will damage
the rubber or silicone parts.
Vinegar Disinfection Protocol:
Fill the basin with 1 part
white vinegar and 3 parts hot water. Submerge the tips
that you have used in the basin and soak for 30 minutes.
Remove the tips and rinse under running water. Run
the dilute vinegar solution out through the machine. Fill
with fresh water and run three to four full cycles, or until
the solution no longer has a vinegar smell. Dry all parts
completely.
Hydrogen Peroxide cleaning protocol:
Fill the basin
with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 3 parts hot water.
Submerge the tips that you have used in the basin and
soak for 30 minutes. Remove the tips and rinse under
running water. Run the dilute hydrogen peroxide solution
out through the machine. Fill with fresh water and run
three to four full cycles. Dry all parts completely.
After 10 minutes of continuous use, rest the machine for
several minutes to allow the motor to cool.
BE GENTLE
in blowing your nose. Generally the fl uid in
your sinuses will exit about 20 minutes after when the
cilia are activated.
