WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY, ONLY USE WATER THAT IS:

  • Commercially bottled; freshly opened
  • Distilled
  • Micro-filtered (through 0.2 micron),
  • Previously boiled for at least 3 minutes and cooled to lukewarm or body temperature; used promptly.

Step 05

Gently shake the device for a second or two to mix the SaltPod contents with the water in the Upper Tank.

Tip: Run a little water over the Nose Pillows to make them easier to slip into your nostrils.

Step 06

Arrows on the Nasal Dock indicate the direction of flow. Note that the rinse goes into the nose through one Nose Pillow, and out of the nose through the other.

Step 07

Locate the Power Button and firmly push the button in. The pump will start, and the Drain Valve will open, causing saline to flow from the Upper Tank into one nostril, around the back of the nose, and out the other nostril into the Lower Tank. The first few times do this in front of a mirror and over a sink to get the hang of it.

When the upper tank is empty, the cycle is complete.

FINISH

When you’re finished, release the Power Button and remove the Nose Pillows from your nostrils. You may have a little saline left in your nasal passages, tilt your head forward and gently blow your nose.

Naväge Three Key P's

01: POSITIONING

Center the Nose Pillows in your nostrils careful to keep them unblocked by the nasal walls. The pillows should be snug with some wiggle room. The flexible pillow stems can be bent to obtain a centered, comfortable fit.

02: PRESSURE

Press the pillows into your nose firmly enough to create a seal. Once the cycle starts, back off a little. This will increase the flow. If you push too hard and one of the pillow tips gets blocked against the nasal wall the suction will decrease or stop, and you may get water down your throat, slow flow, or no flow at all. Wiggling the nose pillows around in your nostrils can help improve the seal.

03: POSTURE

Relax... Keep your head level, look forward, stand up straight, and don’t bend over. Breathe normally through your mouth.

Nasal irrigation when used as directed is safe and effective, all-natural and drug-free so do it as often as you wish.

Standard Nose Pillows fit most Naväge users. Small or Extra-Large Nose Pillows can be purchased here.

If you are experiencing extreme congestion, please see this tip.

After each use twist off the Lower Tank and empty it. Clean your device following the Cleaning Instructions.

  • Use only as indicated in these instructions or as directed by your physician. If you experience pain during use, stop immediately.
  • Side effects from saline nasal irrigation are generally minor and resolve quickly. These include nasal burning, local irritation or pain, ear discomfort, ear fullness or popping, and nosebleeds. Side effects can often be avoided or reduced by making small changes in use. Visit this page or call the Naväge Customer Support Team at 800-203-6400 for help.
  • WARNING: Do not use tap water unless sterilized by boiling. For your safety, only use water that is distilled, micro-filtered (through 0.2 micron), or previously boiled and cooled to lukewarm or body temperature, used promptly, for nasal irrigation.
    • Most people prefer to use warm water. Do not overheat the water. It should be lukewarm to the touch and not hotter than about 90° F or 32° C.
    • Rinsing your nasal passages with plain, unsalted water will cause stinging and considerable discomfort.
  • Microwaving the Naväge Nose Cleaner or its accessories can be dangerous and voids the warranty.
  • Terminate use if no saline appears in the lower tank after 60 seconds.
  • Do not use continuously for longer than three minutes.
  • The Nasal Dock and Nose Pillows should not be shared to prevent cross-infection between users. For households that would like to share the same Nose Cleaner, individual Nose Pillow-Nasal Dock Combos are available.
  • Clean the Nose Pillows and device after each use according to the cleaning instructions.
  • Using the product with illegal drugs, alcohol, or prescription drugs except when prescribed by a physician is prohibited, can damage the device, voids the warranty, and may cause serious injury.
  • Every individual is unique, and experiences will vary.
  • Do not use if your nasal passages are blocked and you cannot breathe through either nostril. To help relieve extreme congestion see this tip.
  • You have an ear infection or if your ears are blocked.
  • Not for use by children under 12 years old.
  • If you recently had ear or nose surgery, consult a physician before use.
  • Consult your physician if you are using the Naväge Nose Cleaner to relieve congestion due to a nasal illness and there is no improvement after use; if your symptoms persist or worsen; if you have a persistently thick and yellow or green discharge; or if the skin at the base of the nostrils becomes raw or crusted.
  • Nosebleeds are a rare but known side effect of saline nasal irrigation. Consult your physician if you experience a nosebleed after use.
  • Ear popping and ear fullness are rare but known side effects of nasal irrigation that typically resolve quickly. Discontinue use and consult your physician if the condition persists.
