The Naväge Nose Cleaner is intended to help relieve nasal and/or sinus congestion and stuffiness by washing and moisturizing the nasal cavity with a pressure-controlled stream of irrigant rinse.

The Naväge Nose Cleaner ("Naväge") is a powered nasal irrigator intended for OTC use to wash and moisturize the nasal cavity. There are many nasal irrigation devices in commercial distribution in the US, and Naväge is substantially identical to those devices in terms of intended use and indications for use. It is similar in terms of mechanical functionality with the single exception that in addition to using positive pressure, Naväge simultaneously uses negative pressure (suction). That is, the device uses a combination of positive pressure (gravity) to introduce irrigant rinse into the nasal cavity, and negative pressure (powered suction) to aspirate the rinse out of the nasal cavity. The simultaneous use of positive and negative pressure makes it possible for the device to be self-contained so that after washing through the nasal cavity, the irrigant rinse can flow into a removable collection tank attached to the device. This provides an improved nasal irrigation experience resulting from functional simplicity, superior ergonomics, and less mess than currently available devices.

The RinoFlow Micronized E.N.T. Wash System aerosolizes solutions intended for nasal and sinus irrigation and humidification of the upper respiratory tract. RinoFlow is used to treat conditions and disorders of the upper respiratory tract where homeostasis of the nasal mucosa is disturbed, resulting in symptoms such as catarrh, and mucopurulent or crusty secretions. Such conditions and disorders include: - Rhinitis (as a symptom of colds, allergies, etc.) . - . Both Acute and Chronic Sinusitis RinoFlow Micronized E.N.T. Wash System should be used with a physiological saline solution. "Tap" water is not recommended. RinoFlow Micronized E.N.T. Wash System is intended to be used by adults and pediatrics (age ≥3) in the home or doctor's office, and is available over-the-counter.

The RinoFlow Micronized E.N.T. Wash System provides aerosol irrigation with positive pressure. The device has two settings that facilitate a two-phase procedure for nasal irrigation and upper respiratory tract humidification. Phase One washes the nasal cavity and nasopharynx by hydrating and softening the mucus with a stream of large-particle aerosol, causing drainage to occur. Phase Two applies the aerosol stream with higher velocity that reaches the paranasal sinuses. The RinoFlow E.N.T. Wash System consists of a Micronizer-Chamber connected by a length of tubing to a lubricant-free, sealed piston compressor. The compressor incorporates a reciprocating power pump design. The Micronizer-Chamber , made of synthetic, washable polycarbonate material, is in four essential parts: the body, the inner shell, the outer shell, and the baffle. Tubing is connected at the bottom of the body. At the top of the body is an air injector covered by a baffle. The bell-shaped inner shell surrounds the air injector and baffle and tapers to an outlet at the top for the aerosol stream to exit. The rim at the bottom of the shell fits in a groove at the top of the body. The space inside the inner shell forms the inner chamber, where the liquid is micronized. The outer shell fits over the body, surrounding the inner shell and its contents. The outer shell is cylindrical and tapers to an outlet at the top. The outer shell can be rotated to two different positions, gliding vertically over the body. In the first position, the outer shell's outlet is vertically aligned slightly above that of the inner shell. The space between the outer shell and the inner shell forms the outer chamber, where the drainage is collected. This chamber is sealed at the bottom by an O-ring. The space between the very tops of the inner and outer shells forms an opening for the drainage to descend into the outer chamber during Phase 1. Four holes around the rim at the top of the outer shell provide the primary means for excess nasal drainage to enter the outer chamber. These holes also provide an outlet for patient exhalation. When rotated to the second position, the outer shell lowers so its outlet meets that of the inner shell, joining the holes to create a single outlet. This configuration increases the velocity of the aerosol stream. The outer chamber is unaffected by this change in shell configuration, and any residual drainage will continue to enter the chamber via the four holes along its rim.

The RinoFlow Micronized E.N.T. Wash System provides aerosol irrigation with positive pressure. The device has two settings that facilitate a twophase procedure for nasal irrigation and upper respiratory tract humidification.
