Connect the balloon to the nose piece and hold the rounded end against the right nostril. Press the left nostril closed with your other hand. Inhale deeply, close your mouth and inflate the balloon via your nose until it is approximately the size of a grapefruit. Repeat this procedure with the left nostril. The patient should feel a pressure increase and or a ‘click’ in their ear to indicate that the treatment is working.

Clean the nose piece with mild detergent after use. Rinse the nose piece with clean water. Discard used balloons when they have been inflated 20 times.

When not in use, protect the nose piece and the balloons against light, keep the items in the box.

The balloons contain latex, if you are allergic to latex or latex products consult your physician before using this product. If you experience any allergic symptoms, stop treatment and consult your physician.

Keep out of reach of children. The treatment of children should always be supervised by an adult. Never use toy balloons in performing the Otovent method as toy balloons do not give the proper inflation pressure and may cause treatment failure.

Some people may suffer from frequent episodes of anterior nosebleeds. The condition is a nuisance but harmless, any manipulation of the nose may provoke an episode (nose-picking, nose-blowing or balloon inflation). Usually the condition can easily be cured after a visit to the ENT doctor.
