Physiomer Netiflow Caution For Usage

Usage: Choose the preferred administration mode and the corresponding nozzle.
Lean over a sink and tilt head to one side.
Keep mouth open and continue to breathe normally throughout the nasal irrigation.
Place the nozzle into the upper nostril so that it seals perfectly.
Lightly squeeze the bottle to begin irrigation: For adults, use between 60 and 120 mL per nostril using the graduations on the bottle to help the patient.
For children, adjust the flow to the ''1 drop'' position and use 60mL per nostril.
Tilt the head to drain the remaining solution from the nasal cavities and gently blow the nose.
Discard any remaining solution.
With the first nasal irrigation, as the solution enters the nasal cavity, the patient may experience the sensation of being submerged which should not alarm the patient. This sensation is normal and disappears during subsequent uses.
Advice when using: Use spring or mineral water either lukewarm or at room temperature. Avoid using cold or hot water, the patient may feel a burning sensation.
The patient may warm the solution in bottle by gradually heating in a microwave in 5-second increments. Only the bottle has been designed for microwave use: no other part of the device should be placed in a microwave oven.
Keep the mouth open during use: this closes the soft palate preventing the solution from running down the throat. Apart from a salty taste that can be unpleasant, swallowing the solution is completely harmless.
Adjust the tilt of the head to facilitate the solution flow from one nostril to the other. Even if the solution does not pass from one nostril to the other, nasal irrigation is effective.
