Instruction for Use
- There are two Tips to choose from. The large tip is recommended for use when the mucus is in a thicker, more solid form. The narrow tip is recommended for use when the mucus is loose and in a liquid form or when nostril opening is smaller.
2. Be sure to place the tip securely on the aspirator. The Tip must completely cover the rib before using.
3. Hold the baby/child upright and insert the tip into the nostril until the tip seals the nostril. Be careful not to place the tip too far into the nostril or press against the inside wall of the nostril.
4. Press and hold the power button to activate and allow the suction to clear the mucus. Only a few seconds of suction at a time are necessary. Repeat in the other nostril or as needed.
HELPFUL HINTS:
- If needed, block the opposite nostril for more effective suctioning.
- A small amount of saline mist may help to loosen thicker mucus.
- Opening the baby/child’s mouth will help reduce ear pressure discomfort.
Note: The mucus may not immediately appear in the collection cup. After each use we recommend a quick cleaning of the used tip by removing it from the unit and thoroughly rinsing under warm tap.
