INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING NOSEFRIDA NASAL ASPIRATOR Place your child face up on a changing table or bed. You can also hold your child, tucking their arms in while you use Nosefrida. Place the large tube at the child's nostril and the red part at the other end in your own mouth. Apply gentle suction to begin with, increasing suction as necessary until you see mucus in the large tube. The filter will protect you from getting anything near your own mouth. If mucus is very thick or crusty, please insert 1-2 drops of saline solution and then apply suction. Clean Nosefrida after each use: wash large tube out with soap and warm water. Rinse well and allow to dry. Change the hygiene filter. Nosefrida should ONLY be used to clean children’s and babies’ noses of mucus. PLEASE KEEP NOSEFRIDA OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OLD. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A TOY. ANSWERS TO SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Will I get the cold my baby has? No. The hygiene filter prevents mucus transfer from child to user. Is Nosefrida safe to use for someone with allergies? Yes. Nosefrida is made of non-allergenic and latex-free polypropylene. The blue filter consists of moisture absorbing polyurethane. Is Nosefrida safe to use on newborns? Yes. Nosefrida is designed to be safe and effective for newborns as well as toddlers. Why is Nosefrida better than other aspirators on the market? Nosefrida is better and safer, since you never put anything inside the nose, and you control the amount of suction you apply. It does not irritate the sensitive lining of the nose. Children tolerate Nosefrida better than other aspirators. I am concerned about the recent warnings about plastics. Is Nosefrida safe? Nosefrida is BPA free and contains NO phthalates, which have been linked to health risks when used in baby bottles, pacifiers and other baby items. It is manufactured in accordance with the European Union environmental regulations and is registered with the FDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. How do I clean my Nosefrida? Nosefrida should be detached from the tubing and washed with warm water and soap and allowed to dry. Hygiene filters should be changed after each use. I took the tube apart for washing, and now it won't stay attached. The tube has to be pushed very hard until you hear it snap into place. There is a groove inside that makes the 2 pieces fit together snugly. I know my child has mucus but nothing comes out. How do I get the really thick stuff out? First, try 1 - 2 saline drops in each nostril, wait for a few seconds and then aspirate. Try using the Nosefrida in a CIRCULAR motion against the nostril. You will hear some sounds when the mucus starts to come out. Does the Nosefrida aspirator include filters? Yes, 4 filters are included, but it's recommended that the filter be changed with each use. Extra filter bags are available in packs of 20. Where is Nosefrida manufactured? Nosefrida is manufactured by Nasalprodukter AB in a modern factory in Malmo, Sweden.
