Important information for first-time use
The Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® is a one-size-fits-all device that is suitable
for all shapes and sizes of nose. It is specially contoured to ensure optimum
stabilisation.
Since the anatomical structure of the nose can vary from one individual to
another, we recommend that your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional
carries out the initial fitting of your Nose Butterfly ® . Adjustments should
only be made when the Nose Butterfly ® is in place in the nose. This will
prevent the bridge from becoming deformed, which could affect the
stabilisation function of the Nose Butterfly ® . If you are uncertain whether
you are using the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® correctly or whether it is
correctly adjusted, get your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional
check how you are using it. If it is incorrectly adjusted, the Nose Butterfly
® may not prove fully effective or it may not fit properly.
After the individual fitting, the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® should be left in
this form.
Important: do not bend the titanium bridge!
Safe and easy to use
When you insert the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® into your nose, you may feel a slight pressure or tension initially. Normally, these feelings of discomfort disappear within a very short time. In rare cases, the following side effects have been observed when using the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® : irritations such as tingling and burning sensations in the atrium of the nose with increased secretion, slight pressure sores, incipient ulceration and acute nosebleeds. If these side effects occur, it may be a good idea to alter the basic setup of the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® . In this case, please contact your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional.
Please bear the following points in mind … on first-time use:
Thoroughly rinse the Nose Butterfly® with warm running water before you use it
for the first time. Then carefully dry it!
… before each use:
Before use, you should check each time to make sure the Nose Butterfly® is
complete and intact. Please only use Nose Butterfly® devices in sound
condition.
Prepare your nose beforehand by thoroughly cleaning it.
Easy to apply
This is how to use the Nasanita Nose Butterfly®
When the Nasanita Nose Butterfly® is used for the first time, it should be left in its present form and inserted into the nose unchanged. Ideally, your doctor will show you how to do this: hold the Nose Butterfly® with the u-shaped titanium bridge away from you. Using your thumb and index finger, open the silicone wings and then guide them into the nostrils as illustrated. Once the silicone wings are settled in the nasal wings, push the middle of the silicone wings in the nose as far as possible to the tip of the nose.
Correct fitting of your Nasanita Nose Butterfly®
The Nose Butterfly® is correctly fitted in the nose if the open side of the
u-shaped titanium bridge is pointing towards the tip of the nose, the bridge
lies flat on the columella (lower part of the nasal septum) and the edges of
the two silicone wings end exactly at the edge of the nose.
The Nose Butterfly is incorrectly fitted if the u-shaped titanium bridge does
not lie flat on the columella and the silicone wings jut out over the nasal
wings or are pushed over the nasal valve inside the nose. In this case, the
Nose Butterfly will not bring about any improvement in nasal breathing.
You should observe the following:
For hygienic reasons, please make sure that each family member uses his or her
own Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® . Always keep the product out of the reach of
children because young children could swallow it by accident.
For your safety
The Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® should not be used in a sore nose or if there
are excessive watery nasal secretions.
As far as possible, avoid using any other products in the nose (e.g. nasal
spray or nasal ointment) at the same time as the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® ,
because this could adversely affect the shelf-life and the fit of your Nose
Butterfly ® .
Important: If you use the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® along with a nightly non-
invasive respiratory therapy, full face masks must not be used – only nose
masks!
Always ready for use
You decide how long to wear the device
Your Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® consists of ultrapure, well-tolerated
materials. No irritation or sensitisation is to be expected, even when used
over a prolonged period. So simply wear the device for as long as it is useful
and meets your needs. A period of about 5 to 8 hours at night is recommended
or for as long as you need improved nasal breathing (e.g. during sport).
Maximum period of use
Thanks to its high-quality materials, the Nasanita Nose Butterfly® is
relatively durable. Nevertheless, it should be replaced regularly. With
frequent use, we recommend using the device for not more than 6 months before
replacing it.
How to care for your Nasanita Nose Butterfly®
Before and after each use, the Nasanita Nose Butterfly® should be thoroughly cleaned using warm, running water. Stubborn traces of secretions must be removed mechanically using a brush or by rubbing or similar.
Important: remember to dab the device off using a lint-free cloth!
It is normally not necessary to sterilise or disinfect the device. Should you,
nevertheless, wish to sterilise or disinfect the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® ,
please use standard heating methods (e.g. boiling or autoclaving) or
disinfectants that can usually be used on the skin and mucous membranes.
When the Nasanita Nose Butterfly ® is not in use, you should keep it in safe
and hygienic conditions in the handy Nasanita ® Box. Leave the box open until
your Nose Butterfly ® has completely dried.
