FAQs
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEAN THE ASPIRATOR?
Clean after each use. Make sure that the Aspirator remains disinfected and batteries are operating correctly so that it is ready for when you next need it. Sanitise and clean prior to use. See Storage Guidelines for further details.
CAN I USE RECHARGEABLE AAA BATTERIES?
We recommend using good quality alkaline batteries over rechargeable batteries in the nasal aspirator. Do not mix the old and new batteries to avoid damage to the product. Remove the batteries from the Nasal Aspirator when not using it for extended periods of time in order to avoid potential damage from a leaking battery.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY CHILD IS UNCOOPERATIVE?
Be gentle, quick and reassuring. Try and make it a game, don’t rush the process! Turn the experience into a fun activity by engaging your little one with toys, music or other distractions. You can help prepare them by letting them touch or explore the aspirator to become familiar with it. Stop and pause if your baby becomes upset and try again later when they’re calm.
Signs that the suctions level is too strong include crying, flinching, redness around the nostrils or baby pulling away.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH SUCTION LEVEL IS APPROPRIATE?
If the soft (lowest) setting is effectively removing mucus you can stay at that setting and gradually increase if baby is comfortable. For minor congestion the soft suction level is often enough. If you see mucus being drawn out efficiently without resistance, the suction level is appropriate. For thicker and more stubborn mucus adjust to the moderate or high setting.

WHAT IF MUCUS ISN'T COMING OUT?
If mucus isn’t being removed, try loosening the mucus with saline drops or spray. Adjust the suction level and check the nozzle tip size suits your little one’s nostril size. Check you’re using the aspirator at the correct angle and position.
If still not removing mucus make sure the aspirator has been assembled as per the instructions in this manual. Look for wear and tear of the silicone parts to make sure there aren’t any cracks. Confirm that he batteries have sufficient power.
If your little one is still congested after repeated attempts, consult your GP or medical professional.
CAN I USE THE ASPIRATOR IF BABY IS SLEEPING?
Try and address congestion prior to bedtime. The aspirator can be used if necessary when they are asleep on a gentle setting but you may wake, startle and unsettle them. Instead consider using a humidifier at bedtime too to help hydrate the mucus.
WHAT ARE THE BEST TIMES OF DAY TO USE THE ASPIRATOR?
The best times of day to use the aspirator are before naps and feeds to help clear baby’s airways. Using it after bathtime can also be a good time as the warm water and humid air can loosen mucus and your little one is likely to be more relaxed after their bath too!
CAN I USE THE NASAL ASPIRATOR FOR EAR WAX OR OTHER PURPOSES?
No, the Nasal Aspirator is only to be used for removing nasal mucus. Using it for another purpose is not a good idea and may cause harm.
WHEN SHOULD I STOP USING THE ASPIRATOR?
Stop when they are breathing more comfortably. To prevent irritation of delicate nasal passage avoid prolonged use, excessive suction or using the aspirator more than a few times daily.
