INDICATIONS FOR USE
RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL is a medical device to mobilize and
®
remove secretions in the nasopharynx. It also improves aeration
of the Eustachian tube in the event of disorders of the auditory
tubes. Regular use provides a clear nose in a natural way in
case of chronic sinusitis, post-nasal-drip syndrome and nose
spray addiction (privinismus). Further more bronchial hyper-
activity is decreased in asthma bronchial.
Possible effects of RC-Cornet
• Frees the upper airways from irritating phlegm
• Reduces coughing due to post-nasal-drip
• Reduces bronchial hyperreactivity at asthma
• Improves aeration of the sinuses and middle ear
RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL can also be combined with a nebu-
®
lizer. This optimizes aerosol deposition and reduces therapy
time (combined therapy - see page 22 and 23).
Physiological effects
RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL produces pressure variations
®
(oscillations) in the upper respiratory tract and widens it. It
also mobilizes and liquefies nasal secretions and widens /
opens the Eustachian tube. Secretions are then easier to
swallow or blow out.
Contraindications:
RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL should not be used in patients
®
diagnosed with any of the following conditions unless instructed
by a doctor:
• Repeated, substantial nosebleeds
• In the presence of purulent discharge
• Presence of pneumothorax, blood-expectorating cough
(massive hemoptysis), and intracranial
pressure symptoms > 20 mmHg.
• Severe cardiovascular disease
• Acute thrombosis
• Acute coughing up of blood (hemoptysis)
• Surgery or injury to the mouth, face, skull, or esophagus
• Possible eardrum injuries

PLUS NASAL Therapy
®
Note: The timely use after a nose operation should be discussed
in advance with the attending doctor. In case of acute sinusitis or
middle ear infection, RC-Cornet
uses after having cusulted a doctor and the use of antibiotics.
Please also check for contraindications with the medications
used as well as your inhalation system if RC-Cornet
is used with combined therapy with nebulizer.
Side effects
No undesirable effects are known in conjunction with RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL therapy. However, patients may develop "a stuffy-
nose" when beginning treatment. This is a regulatory phenomena.
If, during RC-Cornet
NASAL Therapy, swellings that can be
®
pushed away with noticeable crackling become visible, e.g. on
the eyelid, this is a case of skin emphysema. These symptoms
have their origin in the injury of air-filled organs and can also be
caused by strong nose blowing. It resolves itself spontaneously
after a few days. Medical examination should be carried out.
Note
To lower the noise level of the therapy, close off the body holes
with your hand.
Use of RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL does not rely on gravity. The
®
device may be used in an upright, seated or standing position.
After you become accustomed to RC-Cornet
to improve your breathing technique. Breath in through the nose,
if possible, and after a brief pause, exhale through RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL.
Important: RC-Cornet
PLUS NASAL uses your full expired air
®
volume to produce vibrations and oscillations. Therefore, please
expel all of your breath through RC-Cornet
order to maximize your therapy outcome.
With strong polyp formations a progress in therapy is not gua-
ranteed.
