1. Wash your hands.
2. For first time use make sure the Micro-Filtered System has been prepared according to the instruction above.
3. Before each use inspect filter media for any signs of damage or discoloration and discard if any is present.
4. Pour the contents of the saline packet(s) into the bottle. First-time users  should start with 1 packet to make an Isotonic solution. As you become more accustomed to using the system, you may work up to using 2 full packets for a Hypertonic solution. Additional packets may be purchased    online or from your nearest pharmacy.
5. Fill the bottle with warm tap water to the 8 oz mark indicated on the bottle. Make sure the white check valve located on the shoulder of the bottle is present and in place. Test water temperature before using.
6. Replace the cap on the bottle and tighten securely. Gently shake the bottle until the dry ingredients have completely dissolved.
7. Invert the bottle so the comfort tip is facing up, lean over the sink with your head bent down so you are looking directly into the basin. Place the comfort tip 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Remove the comfort tip from your nostril, then exhale through both nostrils to clear them of excess mucus and solution. Gently blow your nose into tissue.
11. Repeat the procedure on the left nostril with the remaining solution.
12. When finished hold the system inverted over sink and squeeze several times to remove solution remaining in cap.
13. After each use of the Micro-Filtered System follow the Cleaning, Care & Storage Instructions.

This is much easier to use than a Neti pot …

You will love it!
This is a great product and a great innovation. My doctor told me to use a nasal wash twice a day. I was just diagnosed with COPD. Oh my gosh, I started out with the neti pot type and I was exhausted by the time I boiled the water, cooled it, and finally got to that nasal flush. I actually wondered why nobody had come up with some easier system and when I saw this, ordered it immediately. I love it.. – CLF – verified Amazon.com reviewer

Great product.
I get a sinus problem every now and then. I could never do it the way my wife does putting her head in a small bowl and sucking it up through her nose. I can do this with ease. – Jim – verified Amazon.com reviewer

Should I use an Isotonic or Hypertonic solution? 

The Micro-Filtered System can be used with the enclosed saline packets to make either an Isotonic or Hypertonic solution. An Isotonic solution has a salt concentration similar to your body and some people find this more comfortable to use. A Hypertonic solution is more concentrated, similar to the salt concentration of ocean water. Both are beneficial to your sinus and nasal health.
