1 Device Description
The process that takes place within the NanoVi™ device occurs in four steps:
1 Creation of a constant air stream with intake of ambient air
2 Humidification of the air stream, enriching the air stream with water molecules
3 Generation of a specific signal known to initiate repair mechanisms in the body
4 Transfer of the signal across the humid air stream to the user via a Flex-Arm
The NanoVi™device is designed to help initiate the body’s natural repair of free radical damage.
When this damage accumulates it is called oxidative stress damage and is, in optimal situations,
counterbalanced by the body’s oxidative response. This involves repair and rejuvenation at the cellular
level. Within the body, on an ongoing basis, oxidative response is triggered by a specific signal
naturally emitted by certain free radicals (called Reactive Oxygen Species or ROS). NanoVi™devices
generate the same specific signal, which is transferred across a humid air stream to the user.

3 Possible Side Effects
The following temporary reactions have been occasionally observed when first using the NanoVi™
device. Typically, when side effects occur the body is going through an adjustment. Try shorter
sessions if necessary.
•Drowsiness: Use a shorter session length for the first few sessions, Choose the time of the first
session to accommodate unexpected drowsiness, which might occur after the initial application.
This will disappear after several sessions.
•Insomnia: To avoid trouble falling asleep, do your session at least 4 hours before going to bed
when you first start using the device.
•Dizziness and/or headaches: Dizziness and/or headaches can temporarily appear and will disap-
pear after a short period of time. Should this occur, use shorter session times.
•Changes in stool: If unwanted changes in stool consistency appear, use shorter session times.
•Skin reactions: If skin reactions, such as reddening and itching, appear use shorter session times
until skin reactions have disappeared.

6 Operating Instructions
6.1 General Use
The NanoVi™ device is intended to be used on a flat surface. The device may be moved on a cart
with the humidifier installed but should never be carried with the humidifier installed because it could
fall off and do damage. The PATIENT can be sitting or lying down. The Flex-Arm bends following its
natural curvature and should be positioned for comfort. The device can be used with or without a nasal
cannula. When used with a nasal cannula, the PATIENT should be positioned close enough to the
device that there is never tension (pulling) on the nasal cannula. The nasal cannula should be worn
correctly (see section 6.3) as show in figure 6.1. See Appendix A for proper nasal cannula use. If the
PATIENT is using the device with no cannula, the Paper Tube should be positioned 1-3 inches (2.5 -
7.6 cm) away from the nose as show in in figure 6.2.

6.2 Use of Flex-Arm
NanoVi™devices come with an installed Flex-Arm, as shown in Figure 6.3.
Remove the protective cap from the outlet on the Flex-Arm, if it is in place. Place one of the disposable
paper tubes that come with the device onto the end of the arm and push it on to fit snuggly.
Gently pull the Flex-Arm towards your face. The end of the paper tube should be in front of your nose,
one to three inches away, as shown in Figure 6.4. The Flex-Arm can be moved and repositioned for
comfort but must not be bent sharply. It is important to be sitting or lying still and to have the Flex-Arm
correctly positioned so that you are inhaling the output from the device.
WARNING: Do not try to bend the Flex-Arm into sharp angles.
WARNING: Do not move or attempt to lift the device by pulling on the Flex-Arm.

6.3 Nasal Cannula
The NanoVi™device can be used with a nasal cannula inserted on the outlet in the middle of the Flex-
Arm attachment. For proper use of the nasal cannula, refer to Appendix A: Accompanying Documents,
User Manual for Nasal Cannulas. The NanoVi™ device should only be used with the nasal cannula
that has the make and model: Nasal Cannula (Adult) Salter Style 1600-1. For proper operation, a short
cannula that has one-foot instead of the standard seven-foot length tubing is used. The one-foot
disposable cannula is shown in Figure 6.5. The user does not have to be still when using the cannula.
It allows the user to make small movements and turn their head without interrupting their session. Use
of the cannula is shown in Figure 6.6.
6.4 Power On
Press the large button on the front of the device to turn the power on. The power button will illuminate
with a green circle and the touch screen display will automatically start with a self-test. Once the
device is ready, the screen will display standard user options. Pressing the power button at the end of
a session will turn the device off. If you do not turn the device off and it is not used for 15 minutes, it
will turn itself off.
6.5 Touch Screen Interface
The touch screen is operated by lightly touching it with a finger. If necessary, a soft blunt object could
be used to operate the touch screen. Hard or sharp objects should never be used.
A tone sounds each time you press a button, indicating that your input was registered through the
touch screen.

WARNING: The use of hard or sharp objects to operate the touch screen could result in
damage to the device.
6.6 Application Schedule
The session time depends on which NanoVi™ device is used. The NanoVi Exo™device is twice as
powerful as the NanoVi Pro™, and the Pro device is twice as powerful as the NanoVi Eco™. As a
result, the standard session time of 15 minutes on the Exo is similar to 30 minutes on the Pro, or 60
minutes on the Eco device.
It may be necessary to build up use of the device slowly. The appropriate amount of time depends on
the state of each person’s health and physical condition. Although adverse reactions are experienced
by only a small percentage of people, a safe approach is to start by using the NanoVi Eco™ device for
only 10 minutes the first day (5 minutes for the NanoVi Pro™ or just a few minutes on the NanoVi
Exo™). If you feel well and are not light headed, it is fine to do more time. Feeling light headed or
uncomfortable in any way signifies that the session should be stopped for the day and time should be
added gradually. If adverse reactions occur, revert to shorter session times.
It is important to start slowly to stay within your comfort zone. If you are highly sensitive and/or in need
of detoxification, start with only a few minutes and keep adding time each day, as long as there are no
adverse reactions. In the event of an adverse reaction, reduce the number of minutes of use until there
is no reaction, then start adding minutes until the desired session time is reached.
For prevention in younger healthy people, two or three standard NanoVi™ sessions per week are
adequate. Individuals that have health challenges, are older, or are performance athletes should use
the device more. NanoVi™ devices can be used every day and several times a day, if desired. There
is no potential to be harmed by the device so overuse is not a concern, once you are accustomed to it.
The device can be used for many hours a day if desired.
6.7 Lights Illuminating the Glass Container
This lighting has no bearing on the PATIENT’S treatment, and can be set to any preference as
needed.
The lights illuminating the glass container are adjusted in the color selection screen. This screen is
accessed by touching the color wheel icon of the splash screen, during the 10-second self-test (Figure
6.7). The color wheel does not show once the self-test is complete so it is necessary to restart the
NanoVi™ device if you want to adjust the color.
!

Figure 6.7: Splash screen with color wheel
The default light setting is blue. This can be changed to a different color or to a transition of colors.
The device keeps running while you are in the color selection screen so you can see the effect of any
changes before leaving the screen. Figure 6.8 shows the color options available. Touch the circle to
select a color. Pressing the white circle eliminates the color but leaves the water illuminated. The
brightness level is adjusted by pressing the sun or moon symbols. To turn the lights off, press the
moon symbol until the illumination disappears. The orange bar will be all the way to the left.
The rotating color option is selected by pressing the symbols for the long or short wavelength.
Pressing any part of the color transition bar will start the rotating colors. Pressing any individual color
circle will stop the colors from changing.

6.8 Session Running
When a session is started you will hear a quiet humming sound, see bubbles in the glass container,
and, if the lights are turned on, see the illumination of the water in the glass container.
If the water is bubbling, the device is operating correctly. If it is not bubbling, check to make sure the
humidifier is correctly seated in the back of the device and that the glass container is firmly screwed
into the glass container holder. Correctly seating the humidifier also minimizes the noise.
7 Operating in Standard Mode
All three NanoVi™ devices can be operated in standard mode. Once the device is turned on, a splash
screen appears. A self-test runs for 10 seconds with progress shown by the bar at the bottom of the
screen. (Figure 7.1)
Figure 7.1: Initial splash screen
Upon completion of the self-test, an input screen appears allowing you to enter the amount of time for
the session (Figure 7.2). Enter the desired session time by touching the appropriate numbers on the
touch screen. Time is entered in minutes. The minutes entered shows in the session time indicator in
the centre of the screen. Touching the “C” clears a number that has been entered, allowing you to
change your input.
The “M” on the input screen lets you capture the amount of time in the memory of the device as the
default session time. The amount of time most recently captured in memory will be displayed instead
of “0 min” in the time indicator for all future sessions. The default time in memory can be reset to zero
or to a different default time at any point, while the input screen is displayed.
Once the correct amount of time is entered, touch the blue start button to begin the session.

Figure 7.2: Input screen
Figure 7.3 shows the screen when the session is in progress. The digital clock counts down the minutes
and seconds remaining in the session. The rotating dots to the left indicate that a session is in progress.
The pause button allows you to interrupt a session (Figure 7.4). Pressing the start button restarts a
paused session. If a session has not been restarted within 15 minutes, the device will automatically turn
off.
