Navage FAQ | Can more than one person use Navage (2024)
The Naväge Nose Cleaner is engineered so the “before-rinse” (clean saline) and the “after-rinse” (waste saline) never touch. This makes the risk of spreading germs from one user to another relatively low.
That said, the best practice hygienically is for each user to have his or her own device.
However, if you are intent on sharing a Naväge Nose Cleaner, you can greatly reduce the risk of spreading germs by each user having his or her own Nasal Dock-Nose Pillow Combo. The combo includes a Nasal Dock in your choice of white or teal, and a pair of Nose Pillows in your choice of standard, small, or extra-large. The combo is only $10.95, 27% less than if the items are purchased separately!
For reference, every Naväge Nose Cleaner includes one pair of Standard Nose Pillows which according to a customer survey taken earlier this year will accommodate over 80% of Naväge users. But not all noses are created equal…
Naväge provides fast relief from sinus congestion in 30 seconds or less. Easier than a Neti Pot, Naväge helps suck out mucus, allergens, dirt, and germs so you can breathe easier and sleep better– without drugs. Naväge is easy to use, even if you've had trouble with regular nose-cleaning methods.

Always clean and air dry your neti pot after using it to prevent it from harboring bacteria or other harmful organisms that can enter your nasal passages during your next use. Also, don't share your neti pot with anyone to prevent spreading germs.
For nasal irrigation to work, there must be room in the nose for the rinse to go in one nostril and come out the other. 100% blockage is rare, and nasal irrigation can help relieve even the most stuffed up sinus condition.
WARNING: It's important to clean your Naväge Nose Cleaner after each use. When you rinse it, separate the parts (upper tank, mechanical module and lower tank), and use the Countertop Caddy to allow it to dry thoroughly.

Don't allow the spray tip to touch anything besides the inside of your nose. If the tip touches any other surface, it could pick up bacteria or other germs that could cause an infection in your nose. Don't share your nasal spray with anyone else. Sharing your nasal spray could spread germs or infection.
"What if the fluid doesn't come out my other nostril when I rinse? Yes, it is possible to get water stuck in your sinuses from a sinus rinse. This can happen if your sinuses are swollen or if your head is not tilted properly. If you feel like water is stuck, keep your head upright for a while and try blowing your nose.
Ear popping and ear fullness are rare but known side effects of nasal irrigation that typically resolve on their own in a short time. Discontinue use and consult your physician if the condition persists. Microwaving the Naväge Nose Cleaner or its accessories can be dangerous and voids the warranty.
Some people experience reflex or rebound congestion with exposure to saline. This condition is usually very transient. If symptoms continue, consider using a Hypertonic (double strength) solution, or use an over-the-counter decongestant for a day or two.
The underlying problem is that viruses and bacteria from your nose may be transferred to the device, under the right circ*mstances of temperature and humidity, the germs may colonize and then be reintroduced into the nose upon subsequent use.
This NeilMed device comes at a fraction of the price of the other battery-operated sinus-rinse kits. It's not as intense as the Navage, but it's an inexpensive choice if you want a pulsating nasal rinse with more pressure than the non-battery-powered choices.
To avoid spreading bacteria, keep your spray to yourself. You don't want anyone else sticking something up their nose that's just been in yours! “Keep the bottle clean and only allow one person to use it,” he says. “Remember to wipe down the nasal spray bottle and put the cap back on after each use.”
Clean the device with soap and water as mentioned above and shake off the excess water. Now place the bottle, cap and tube in the microwave for 40 seconds. This will disinfect the bottle, cap and tube.
Manufacturers strongly recommend you handwash and thoroughly dry nasal irrigation products after every use. Like your toothbrush, these products should be replaced every 3 months, as well.
It's OK to do a nasal wash once or even twice daily while you have symptoms. Some people without symptoms irrigate daily or a few times a week to prevent sinus infections or allergy symptoms.
