Flo Sinus Care Caution For Usage

Directions have been prepared specially for FLO Sinus Care. Make sure the patient has the FLO bottle, tube, cap, pre-mixed sachets of FLO powder and pre-boiled water ready for each application.
Always use as directed.
First Time Use: Thoroughly wash the bottle, tube and cap with warm soapy water using a bottle brush to clean all surfaces. Rinse all components with clean tap water and dry using a clean paper towel.
Fill the bottle to the 200 mL. Fill Line using luke-warm pre-boiled water. Always boil water for 1-2 minutes before cooling until luke-warm.
NOTE: If more convenient, boiled water may be stored in a clean container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. The patient may reheat the water in the FLO bottle using a microwave oven in 5 second bursts.
Cut or tear open one sachet of FLO powder. Using the guidelines, fold out sachet into a funnel shape and pour the entire contents into the FLO bottle.
Screw the cap and tube firmly onto the bottle and shake until all the powder has dissolved.
The mixture is now ready for use.
Standing over a basin, bend forward and tilt the head down so the chin almost touches the chest. Insert the cap gently into one nostril. Whilst breathing through the mouth, steadily and gently squeeze the bottle until the solution drains from the opposite nostril or from the mouth. No harmful effects will occur if some of the solution is swallowed. Whenever the bottle needs to refill with air, remove it from the nose before releasing hand pressure to prevent "suck back" and contamination of the remaining solution.
Repeat mentioned steps until approximately half of the solution has been used (100 mL Half Line is indicated on the bottle for reference).
Repeat procedure on other nostril.
Gently blow the nose to clear any remaining fluid and mucus.
NOTE: If the patient has recently had nasal or sinus surgery, do not blow the nose before checking with the surgeon.
Discard any remaining solution in the bottle. Always make a fresh solution for each treatment.
Cleaning after use. Clean all components thoroughly using FLO Cleaning Solution (sold separately). This removes bacterial biofilms (a slime in which bacteria live), mucus and other forms of soiling from all the surfaces of the wash bottle to help keep the FLO kit clean. (Note: Warm soapy water may be used instead, however it may not remove bacterial biofilms). After cleaning, rinse all components with tap water. Thoroughly dry all components using a clean paper towel. Reassemble FLO kit and store in the refrigerator until next needed.
