NAS-IR
Nasal Wash
    Isotonic solution

CE 0476 medical device for nasal irrigation, indicated for daily hygiene through nasal mucosa douching, to prevent obstructions due to stagnation of catarrhal secretions or for those suffering from respiratory difficulties due to conditions such as: common cold, cough, sinusitis, post-operative recovery, otitis, asthma, bronchitis, nasal polyps, allergens or caused by environmental contamination such as dust, smoke or fumes. Adjuvant in the treatment of nocturnal nasal obstruction.

Intended use
The device allows sterile and pyrogen-free (isotonic) saline solution contained in 250 or 500 ml bags to flow by gravity or manual pressure into the nasal cavities (upper airways). This device has an irrigator nozzle at one end that directs the saline solution jet towards the nasal cavity meatus, exercising a powerful cleansing action in the cavities themselves and in the nasopharynx, facilitating the external removal of all secretions, dust, allergens and chemical substances that may be present.

Dosage
For adults and children (over 3 years of age), 1 to 2 irrigations per day are recommended or as otherwise specifically prescribed by a physician.

Instructions for use
• Carefully remove the first protective bag from the pouch.
• Warm the solution pouch to approximately 30-35°C by immersing it in hot water. Then unscrew and remove the protective cap.
• Attach the suction cup to a smooth surface above the sink.
• Open the package containing the device.
• Lower the roller wheel until the tube is completely occluded.
• Remove the cap and firmly screw on the male connector of the device. Holding the connector between your fingers, use the other hand to break the fracture cone (arrowhead part) to activate the bag-device connection.
• Hang the bag appropriately on the suction cup.
• Lean your head forward over the sink, in a position lower than your shoulders.
• Bring the irrigator nozzle to your nose and gently press on the nostril. Breathe through your mouth throughout the treatment.
• Raise the roller wheel about halfway, then adjust it so that the solution flows gently without going down your throat.
• Approximately halfway through the treatment, change nostrils if necessary.
