Setup Instructions

1. Battery Installation (Check)

Your Nascool system comes with two AA batteries pre-installed. Ensure they are securely in place. If replacing batteries, open the battery compartment, insert two new AA batteries according to polarity markings, and close the compartment.

2. Preparing the Saline Solution

Always use sterilized water (e.g., pre-boiled and cooled to lukewarm, or distilled water) for preparing the saline solution.

• Isotonic Solution: Mix 1 saline salt packet with 200ml of sterilized water.
• Hypertonic Solution: Mix 2 saline salt packets with 200ml of sterilized water. Consult your doctor before using hypertonic solutions.

Use the provided measuring cup to ensure accurate water volume. The system is compatible with all standard saline salt packets.

Temperature Check: Ensure the saline solution is lukewarm. Use the temperature sticker (if available on your measuring cup or device) to confirm the water is within the "OK" range before use.

3. Attaching the Nozzle

Select a comfortable nozzle size from the two pairs provided. Securely attach the chosen nozzle to the device's nasal base. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leakage during operation.

Operating the System

1. Filling the Reservoir

Pour the prepared saline solution into the device's reservoir. Do not overfill.

2. Positioning and Use

1. Lean over a sink with your head tilted slightly to one side.
2. Insert the nozzle gently into one nostril, ensuring a comfortable seal. It is recommended to start with the more congested nostril if applicable.
3. Press the power button to start the irrigation. The saline solution will flow into one nostril and exit through the other, collecting in the waste water tank.
4. Release the power button to stop the flow.
5. Repeat the process for the other nostril.

Pressure Relief Feature: The Nascool system includes a pressure relief valve. If your nose is severely congested, this valve will activate to reduce flushing pressure, ensuring a gentler and safer nasal wash.

  • Empty any remaining solution from the reservoir and waste water tank.
  • Rinse the reservoir, waste water tank, and nozzles thoroughly with warm, sterilized water.
  • Use the provided cleaning swabs to clean hard-to-reach areas.
  • Attach the self-cleaning cap and run the device with a small amount of sterilized water to flush internal components.
