* IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not sinus wash with unfi ltered tap water. Use either distilled, or

Instructions for Use of the Ready to Use
Sinus Wash Kit (pre-filled with solution)
Read through entire section.
1. Wash your hands and remove cap and foil safety seal from the top of
the pre-filled bottle.
2. Assemble white cap and tube and then place on pre-filled bottle and
tighten securely.
3. Lean over the sink with your head bent down so you are looking directly
into the basin. Place the tip of the cap up to the right nostril and gently
insert the tip so that it forms a comfortable seal. Aim the tip at the back
of your head, not at the top of your head.
4. Squeeze the bottle gently so that the solution enters the right nostril. Do not
inhale or “snort” the solution into the nose – breathe through your mouth.
5. In a few moments, the solution will begin to drain out of the left
nostril. Continue to squeeze the bottle gently until you have used
approximately half of the solution.
6. Remove the tip of the bottle from your nostril, then exhale through both
nostrils to clear them of excess mucus and solution. Gently blow your
nose into a tissue.
7. Repeat the procedure on the left nostril with the remaining solution.
8. A small amount of solution will remain at the bottom of the bottle.
Discard the remaining solution.
9. Thoroughly rinse the bottle after each use with water that has been
either distilled, sterilized, filtered or previously boiled and leave the
bottle open to air dry completely.
10. Bottle, tube and cap may be reused with included packets. See
instructions that follow.
Isotonic Solution
Hypertonic Solution
1 Saline Packet per
8 fl oz. (240 mL)
2 Saline Packets per
8 fl oz. (240 mL)
Refill instructions for the Ready to Use
Sinus Wash Kit (with saline packets)
Read through entire section.
The Ready to Use Sinus Wash Kit can be used with the enclosed Saline
packets to make either an Isotonic or Hypertonic solution. Check with the
guide below or consult with your physician for best use.
An Isotonic solution creates a mild, less concentrated salt solution of 9 mg
of Sodium Chloride per mL of water, which has a similar salt concentration
of your body and may be more comfortable to use for some people initially
than a more concentrated Hypertonic solution.
A Hypertonic solution creates a higher, more concentrated salt solution
which is similar to the salt content of ocean water.
1. Wash your hands and make sure the bottle has been rinsed with water
that has been either distilled, sterilized, filtered or previously boiled.
2. Pour the pre-mixed saline dry ingredients into the Squeeze Bottle.
First-time users should start with 1 packet of the saline dry ingredients
to make an isotonic solution. As you become more accustomed to
the system, work up to using 2 full packets for a hypertonic solution.
Additional packets may be purchased from your nearest pharmacy.
3. Fill the bottle to the 8 oz line with proper water*.
4. Tighten the cap on the bottle securely, place one finger over the tip
of the cap and gently shake the bottle until the dry ingredients have
completely dissolved.
5. Lean over the sink with your head bent down so you are looking directly
into the basin. Place the tip of the cap up to the right nostril and gently
insert the tip so that it forms a comfortable seal. Aim the tip at the back
of your head, not at the top of your head. (continued on back)
Hints for a more comfortable nasal wash:
• Begin using the Sinus Wash System slowly – especially with children. A full
pot or bottle of solution on each side is not necessary to receive the full benefit.
• If the solution is too warm or too cold, the nasal wash will be uncomfortable.
• If stinging or irritation occurs, try using 1 packet of dry ingredients per
pot or bottle. Gradually work up to using the solution at full strength using 2
full packets per bottle. Do not use less than 1 packet.
• If you experience ear discomfort after use, try to blow your nose more gently
after the wash. If the problem persists, the openings of your Eustachian tubes
may be particularly wide and use of the system should be discontinued.
• Breathe continuously through the mouth when using the Sinus Wash System
to avoid solution draining from the back of the nose into the mouth.
• Some people experience irritation of the skin just inside the nostrils with
repeated nasal washing. Applying a thin layer of aloe to the inside of the
nostrils before or after the nasal wash will be soothing
