Nosiboo ECO Manual

Important safety regulations

Please read the user manual carefully before using the device!

If possible hazardous situations below are not avoided, user injury or even a fatal accident may occur.

General use – The device can be used exclusively for removing the nasal mucus from a child's nose. It cannot be used for any other purpose! The device can be used only by adults. Do not leave the device unattended near children or people with reduced physical or mental capacity. Make sure that all pieces are appropriately attached before using the device! If rashes or redness appear on the nose of the child after using the device, do not use it again! Consult a physician!

Before next use – Disinfect the Colibri head after every use. Do not leave the dismantled pieces of the Nosiboo ECO within reach of children because they may swallow these.

General precautions – Read and follow the instructions.

Intended use

The device was created for aspirating the nasal mucus from a child's nose. The vacuum needed for the aspiration is created by the user's mouth (thanks to the detached design in an indirect way).

Intended purpose: prevention of the complications caused by childhood cold and accelerating the healing process by removing the nasal mucus.

Patient group to be treated: children (typically under 4), who cannot remove nasal mucus on their own by blowing their nose. Illness, condition that requires treatment (indication): treatment of common cold and auxiliary treatment of the inflammation of superinfected paranasal sinuses. Conditions in which the device cannot be used (contraindication): haemophilia, if the blood vessels of the nasal septum's mucous membrane widen – in case of frequent nosebleed, while taking blood-thinners, in case of congenital malformations (e.g. cleft palate).
Suggested user: Age: adult over 18, Sex: not applicable, Knowledge: should have general knowledge according to their age.

Device introduction and commissioning

Clean the parts of the Colibri head (see chapters Cleaning and Maintenance and storage)
Insert the collared tube into the Colibri housing half that has a connection
Place the Colibri housing half that has no connection in the right position
Push the flexible nozzle end piece on the matching flange
Attach one end of the tube to the Colibri head connection
Attach the other end of the tube to the mouthpiece

Instructions for use

The Nosiboo ECO can hold up to 5 ml thin liquid. The aspirated liquid accumulates on the inner wall of the nozzle and thanks to its elaborate design, the liquid cannot exit from the inside of the Colibri head. This way, it safely prevents the nasal mucus from getting into the tube or into the mouth of the person performing the suction – there is no need for a filter! Infants should be lying; small children should be sitting in a stable position while aspirating their nose. Put the mouthpiece into your mouth and insert the previously disinfected nozzle end piece into the nasal cavity. The tip of the end piece should point slightly downwards and outwards to the eyeball. In this position, you can slightly move the end piece while discontinuously performing suction with your mouth through the tube. With this method, you can reach the opening of the maxillary sinus and the mucous membrane of the nasal concha and the capillaries of the nasal septum are not hurt. The connection point of the tube should point downwards while in use. Dry or very thick nasal mucus can be dissolved by saline solutions. No more than 5 ml of these should be used at a time. Wait a few minutes after using the solution, remove the secretion (e.g. with a tissue) discharging from the nose, and use the nasal aspirator only thereafter. Nose drops and other preparations suggested by physicians should be used after aspirating the nose! Nasal aspiration should take 10 seconds/nasal opening. The device can be used several times a day; the general goal is to facilitate the calm breathing of the child. Suggested frequency of use: 2-3 times a day if necessary, for 10-10 seconds at a time, after waking, before eating and sleeping.

Cleaning

Cleaning the device is very simple. The Colibri head can be taken apart after disconnecting the tube and the end piece. To clean the mouthpiece, disconnect it from the tube. Thereafter, wash the parts in lukewarm water, disinfect them in disinfectant liquid and let them dry.
Suggested disinfectant: Chicco Disinfectant.

Maintenance and storage

The device should be stored in a dry place protected from dust and damage (e.g. in a cabinet). If you have more children, we recommended to use a separate Colibri head for each child and to store the devices separated. Do not store near radiant heaters!
