d. Install the suction nozzle on the
transparent cover.
Note: during installation, fingers should
be kept away from the tip of the suction
nozzle to avoid bacteria pollution.
7.3 Notice before use
a. If the baby’s nose is dry, it should be carefully humidified:
Apply a warm towel on both sides of the baby's nose for about 10 minutes. When the nasal
mucosa contracts with heat, the nasal cavity becomes smooth, and the viscous nasal mucus
will also be hydrated and more easily absorbed. Alternatively gently wet the inner dry area
of the baby's nose with a cotton swab dipped in warm saline / sesame oil for about a few
minutes, and then use the aspirator to suck out the mucus. Do NOT use excessive force or
hard pulling while extracting a ‘booger’ from the baby's dry nose.
b. Cleaning and disinfection. Before use, ensure that the suction nozzle is cleaned and sanitized.
c. Before use, please check whether the suction at the suction nozzle is good - If there is air
leakage, please check whether the transparent cover is in place, and whether the sealing ring
at the bottom of the transparent cover is installed correctly in place with the transparent cover.
d. On young babies it is not recommended to use the middle and high gear of suction to
avoid any discomfort or potential damage to sensitive parts of the inner nose area.
c. Screw the transparent cover on the body.

Put the USB plug connected to DC 5V power supply
into the USB socket at the bottom of the device.
After power is turned on, the unit is powered by the internal lithium battery without the use of the
USB cable. When fully charged, it can be used for approximately 100 times for one minute each
usage. The Lithium battery can charge and discharge for approximately 500 times during the life
of the rechargeable battery.
7.6.1 - Start up
a. In standby mode, press the power button to turn
the eClear on at which point all symbols will be
briefly displayed on the screen. By default level
one operation will be selected.
b. Press the button (once) to move to different (higher)
suction strengths (between I, II and III).
c. To turn off the device keep the button pressed and
the device will automatically turn off.
d. In the charging mode by pressing the power
button the device will automatically cut off the
charging mode and switch to the working mode of
(first suction gear) operation.
The battery power is not displayed at this time.
After use, the nasal aspirator will return to the
charging mode if connected to the charger.
Notes:
1. Please choose an adapter that meets the IEC
60601-1-2 standard.
2. When the lithium battery power is low, you can
connect the USB cable with DC 5V input and
continue to use the nasal aspirator. While in use,
the nasal aspirator will disconnect the charging
of the battery. When the nasal aspirator is turned
off it will switch back to the charging mode if still
connected to the charger.

Notes:
1. The suction nozzle should be in full contact
with the mucus, and the angle between
the suction nozzle and the nostril should be
about 20-30 degrees;
2. During use please make sure the baby's
mouth is open to avoid negative pressure
entering the ear cavity.
3. When using, it is recommended that the baby sit up, or half lie down and raise baby’s head.
Please do not move baby’s head while using the aspirator to avoid damage to the nasal cavity.
4. When the liquid is about to enter the gap between the transparent cover and the side wall of
the collecting cup, it is recommended to clean the collecting cup and the transparent cover
in advance. If the liquid enters the side wall gap and triggers the electrode to enter the alarm
mode, the electrode and its surrounding must be cleaned.
5. When the cleaning prompt is displayed please dismantle the collection cup and clean it. If the
cleaning prompt continues to flash it means the unit needs to be further dried before use. " "
Make sure the
mouth is open
7.6.4 - Shut down
Automatic shutdown
When the nasal aspirator is not active for more than 65 seconds it will automatically shut down.
7.6.2 - Aspirating the mucus
Please keep the product display screen facing up and gently insert the suction nozzle into the nose
for suction.

7.6.5. - Cleaning
It is recommended to clean the unit and the collection cup after each use to prevent any build-up of
bacteria over time. During cleaning process do not use or connect the device to the power supply.
a. Cleaning of suction nozzle, transparent cover and collecting cup - Remove the transparent cover
and collecting cup from the host machine, and then remove the suction nozzle when cleaning
the transparent cover. It is recommended to clean it with clear water (neutral solvent can be used
if necessary). After cleaning, fully dry it and store it in a dry and clean place.
Note: Please make sure that the transparent cover, collecting cup and silica gel cover have been
dried without any residual water to avoid the drops triggering the cleaning alarm and shutdown
b. Cleaning of the body surface
Please use a damp cloth to clean the shell of the body. If the electrode on the upper part of the
machine body has touched the liquid, please wipe it with a towel or soft cloth until the indicator
light " " no longer flashes. If the flashing continued it means the electrode is not completely
dry.
Note: it is forbidden to immerse the body in water or wash it under a faucet to avoid the water
flow into the air inlet of the pump body. THIS WILL VOID THE PRODUCT WARRENTY.
