Navage Portable Nose Cleaner Cautions

  • Use only as directed in these instructions or as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • If you experience pain during use, discontinue immediately and consult a health care provider.
  • Every individual is unique and experiences will vary. This product may not be right for you.
  • While there are no medicinal side effects from Naväge nasal cleaning, some people have experienced nasal burning, local irritation or pain, ear discomfort, ear fullness or popping, and nose bleeds; these are generally minor and resolve in a short period of time. Some of these can often be avoided or reduced by making small changes in use.
  • Under unusual conditions, nasal irrigation can allow fluid to reach the Eustachian tube (the passage connecting the back of the nose to the middle ear) which in rare cases may lead to an ear infection, including temporary pain, dizziness, or hearing changes.
    • To minimize risk: Avoid swallowing during use; Stop immediately if you experience ear pain, pressure, or blocked sensation; Seek medical attention if symptoms develop or persist beyond 24 hours; Do not resume use until cleared by healthcare practitioner.
  • Only the following types of water:
    • Distilled or sterile bottled water
    • Tap water boiled for 3-5 minutes (then cooled) or microfiltered to 0.2 microns
    • WARNING: Do not use tap water unless sterilized by boiling for 3-5 minutes
  • Most people prefer to use warm water. Do not overheat the water. It should be lukewarm to the touch; no hotter than 90° F or 32° C.
  • Do not use plain water alone for irrigation. Rinsing your nasal passages with plain, unsalted water will cause stinging and considerable discomfort.
  • Do not use if you have an ear infection or if your ears are blocked.
  • Not for use by children under 12 years of age.
  • Do not use if your nasal passages are blocked and you cannot breathe through either nostril. See Helpful Tips on page 10 for tips to help relieve extreme congestion.
