Directions for use:
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.
Safety Warning
The Otovent balloons contain latex. If you are allergic to latex or latex products consult your GP before using the product. If you experience allergic symptoms of any kind, stop treatment and consult your doctor.
Keep out of reach of children. The treatment of children must always be supervised by an adult. Toy balloons should never be used in performing the Otovent method as they 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-blowing, picking or balloon inflation). Usually the condition can easily be cured after a visit to the ENT doctor.
