Frequently Asked Questions about the Baby Vac

 Isn't it too drastic to clean a baby's nose with a vacuum?

No, it isn’t. As the apparatus sucks with the help of the vacuum, but not with its strength. The apparatus adjusts itself. As the vacuum makes it possible to suck continuously the secretion can be removed from all parts of the nose.

 Isn't it painful to use the Baby Vac? Isn't it unpleasant?

No, the Baby Vac does not cause any pain or discomfort. Children usually don't like if somebody is picking their nose, but an ear-ache and other complications can be more serious. If the secretion is not removed properly with the help of the Baby Vac these complications are more likely to develop.

 Can the Baby Vac be used in case of infants?

Yes, of course, mainly if the baby cannot breathe through its nose or if the nose is snuffled. Since a baby cannot breathe through its mouth, it cannot/can neither suck or/nor sleep.

 How often should the Baby Vac be used?

As often as the child snuffles or his/her nose needs to be blown.

 Are there any side-effects of the Baby Vac?

No, there aren't. Similarly to blowing your nose.

 Is it needed to be sucked with a vacuum?

The secretion cannot be removed from the ducts only with a continuous sucking, which is also strong enough.

 Isn't the child afraid of the Baby Vac?

It depends on the child. Some of them are afraid at the first, but later they get used to it. Some of them try to use it alone, but it’s better if their parents use the apparatus.

 Is the procedure sterile enough?

The Baby Vac doesn't need to be sterile. It's enough to sterilize the evacuator (A) by putting it into boiling water occasionally. If you use it continually it's enough to wash the whole apparatus with hot soapy water and then rinse it.
