Frequently asked questions and important information

about the Micro-Filtered Sinus Wash System Warning: Do not use Micro-Filtered System if nasal passages are

completely blocked.

Preparing the Micro-Filtered System for first use

Before first use rinse the bottle with warm tap water and empty. Next fill bottle

with warm tap water and place cap on bottle and tighten securely. Holding the

assembled bottle and cap over the sink, invert so comfort tip faces up and squeeze

bottle several times until bottle is empty and no water flows from the comfort tip.

Repeat the filling and emptying process two additional times. The Micro-Filtered

System is now ready for use.

What type of water can be used in the Micro-Filtered System?

In addition to distilled water or commercially bottled water the Micro-Filtered System

can be used with tap water. WARNING: The Micro-Filtered System is intended as a

final filter for tap water that is known to be safe for drinking.

How do I clean the Micro-Filtered System?

Do not clean any part of the Micro-Filtered System in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the bottle: Rinse the bottle out with water after each use and allow to dry.

Cleaning the comfort tip: Remove tip and clean with soap and water after each use.

Replace tip after cleaning.

Cleaning the cap: The outside of the cap can be rinsed with water and dried.

Can I share the Micro-Filtered System with friends and family?

The Micro-Filtered System is intended for individual use and not to be shared.

Should I use an Isotonic or Hypertonic solution?

The Micro-Filtered System can be used with the enclosed saline packets to make either

an Isotonic or Hypertonic solution. An Isotonic solution has a salt concentration similar

to your body and some people find this more comfortable to use. A Hypertonic

solution is more concentrated, similar to the salt concentration of ocean water. Both

are beneficial to your sinus and nasal health.

Check with the guide below or consult with your physician for best use.

Helpful hints for a more comfortable sinus wash experience:

• Begin using the Micro-Filtered System slowly – especially with children. A full

bottle of solution is not necessary to receive the full benefit.

• If the solution is too warm or too cold, the Sinus Wash will be uncomfortable.

• If stinging or irritation occurs, try using 1 packet of dry ingredients per

bottle. Gradually work up to using the solution at full strength using 2 full packets

per bottle. Do not use less than 1 packet.

• If you experience ear discomfort after use, try to blow your nose gently after the

wash. If the problem persists, the openings of your Eustachian tubes may be

particularly wide and use of the system should be discontinued.

• Breathe continuously through the mouth when using the Sinus Wash System to

avoid solution draining from the back of the nose into the mouth.

Instructions for Use:

1. Wash your hands and make sure the Micro-Filtered System has been prepared

according to the instructions above before first use.

2. Pour the contents of the saline packet(s) into the bottle. First-time users should start

with 1 packet to make an Isotonic solution. As you become more accustomed to

using the system, you may work up to using 2 full packets for a Hypertonic solution.

Additional packets may be purchased online or from your nearest pharmacy.

3. Fill the bottle with warm tap water to the 8 oz mark indicated on the bottle. Test

water temperature before using.

7. In a few moments the solution will begin to drain out of the left nostril. Continue to

squeeze the bottle gently until you have used approximately half of the solution.

8. Remove the comfort tip from your nostril, then exhale through both nostrils to clear

them of excess mucus and solution. Gently blow your nose into a tissue.

9. Repeat the procedure on the left nostril with the remaining solution.

10. When finished hold the system inverted over sink and squeeze several times to

remove solution remaining in cap.

11. Holding the cap assembly over the sink unscrew filter (B) by turning the white ring on bottom

of cap counter clockwise while holding cap (A). Empty any remaining solution into the sink

and allow to dry. Reassemble the filter making sure the black O-ring (C) is seated above the

filter base threads as shown in the illustration below. After each use please clean system.

Clean the bottle: Rinse the bottle out with water and allow to dry.

Clean the comfort tip: Remove tip and clean with soap and water and reinstall.

Clean the cap: The outside of the cap can be rinsed with water and dried.
