Salin Air Purifier - Salin S-2

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

SALIN AIR PURIFIER - „SALIN S-2”

GENERAL PRESENTATION Salin uses a new and unique method in an advanced process for treating air. The process work as follows: air is forced through filter with a micro- crystallized deposit of salts, primarily sodium chloride (98% NaCl, 0.5 % calcium chloride and magnesium). The Salin Air Purifier works by having air constantly passing through filter with micro-crystalline slats which creates a fine, constant spry of sodium chloride in the surrounding area, changing the ionization of the air. The device is easy to use and it ensures general purification of the air in different types of areas: room, apartments, offices, even car. Use is recommended mainly at night so as to ensure minimum exposure to the environment of 8 hours a day. If necessary, exposure can be extended to the whole day. One device is adequate for the treatment of 35-40 cubic meters. The device has no corrosive effect on the environment it treats. In the first using period (at least a month) it is recommended the intensive use of the device. Use any possibility to increase the using period of the device in the space where you stay, at home or in the office. It is not recommended to use the device “SALIN S-2” in spaces with high humidity or steam, in dusty spaces or in spaces with oily aerosols (kitchen), because these kinds of environments damage the filter.

EFFECTS DURING USE

- General hygienic effects: While using the appliance one can notice a general improvement in the quality of the air in the area being treated: dust is collected, cigarette smoke is dispersed, and unpleasant smells (of perspiration, mold, old books etc.) are disposed off. The appliance helps to create pure air which is pleasant for breathing. - General medical effects:

1 Certain consequences emanating from the use of the appliance have proved very beneficially: a greater immunity to catching cold, more relaxed and therapeutic sleep, a general feeling of well-being, reduction of snoring problems. - The effects of treating the air: Use of the appliance among sufferers from respiratory diseases has proved it’s effectiveness. Sufferers from ear, nose and throat diseases as well as allergic problems have experienced significant relief from rhinitis, sinusitis and laryngitis, and a reduction of allergic sensitivities has been diagnosed. In lung diseases use of the appliance has proved effective in giving relief to sufferers from bronchial asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, bronchitis, bronchiectasis, silicosis, as well as for those recuperating after tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis. Positive results were also achieved in various cases of respiratory insuffiency with people having various types of heart conditions or suffering from thyroid gland problems. Impressive results were found particularly among children.

How is the healing action effected? Sodium ions are known both in the professional literature and by the majority of practicing clinicians as the main stabilizer of cellular membranes at the level of the respiratory epithelium. The presence of the sodium ion causes bronchial secretions and those of the upper respiratory passages to flow more easily by quantitatively increasing the membranous transference factor. Ciliary mobility becomes active (even in cases of chronic smokers, for whom, it is known, this mobility is restricted), causing the swift removal of secretions from the respiratory passages. The sodium ion reduces distension of the upper respiratory passages (the palate, the base of the tongue, the hairs of the tonsillar cavity) which is often diagnosed in cases of chronic snoring. Inflammatory swelling, in terms of opening of the middle nasal passage, is also reduced, bringing about renewed permeability and drainage of the sinuses. These conditions provide the basis for the clinical recommendations for the use of sea- aerosols, treatment at salt mine, clinics which give treatments based on salts, in cases of various chronic respiratory diseases. Using the appliance assures much improved activity of the respiratory passages, which constitutes a basic factor in maintaining a sound state of health. The use of the appliance solves a large number of respiratory problems and provides a high level of immunity against various respiratory diseases.

Anticipated results

2 People suffering from respiratory problems will quickly feel a noticeable improvement in the quality of the air, which becomes lighter and fresher for breathing. Any current medical problems, however, must be given special attention. Salin is recommended not only for people suffering from respiratory problems, but also for healthy people with a view to increasing the immunity of the respiratory passages. The appliance affects the flow of secretions of respiratory passages and strengthens the vibrations of cilia, allowing the secretions to be removed and respiratory passages to be cleared, bringing about easier and more comfortable breathing. The appliance frequently helps in clearing the nasal passages and in reducing snoring. Notes: Do not cease or change your regular medication or treatment without consulting your doctor. Do not neglect to have regular medical check-ups. Always accept the advice of your own doctor. Do not exert yourself beyond your normally daily routine. The benefits of using the appliance appear slowly-but the results are impressive!

TECHNICAL DATA - voltage rated: 6…12 V DC - power rated (adaptor) :10 W - air flow rate: 3…8 m3 / h - recommended using space volume: max. 40 m3 - recommended time to use: 6…10 h/day - useful life for filter: 4 months - weight: max. 0,60 kg - dimensions: 105 x 135 x 145 mm - noise level: max. 50 dB

CHANGING THE SALINE FILTER To maintain the optimal parameters for purifying air capacity, it is recommended to change the filter after 4 months of use. The following procedure must be used: 1. Unplug the AC/DC adaptor from the main voltage supply. 2. Remove the plug from the DC input jack in the back of the device. 3 3. Remove the lid and then pull out the filter. 4. Put back carefully a new filter into proper slots and put back the lid. 5. Renew the device’s supply. ** Carefully read the instructions of the filters before make this operation.

Please note: - The appliance should only be connected to a 6-12 V DC current - You should ensure that the appliance does not receive severe mechanical jolts. - The appliance should not be stored or used in a damp environment and it should not be sprayed with water. - Under normal circumstances, the input voltage is 9 Volts. Reducing the input voltage will reduce the flow of and the level of noise. If the noise the appliance makes is disturbing, continue to reduce the voltage, but this will have a direct result of reducing the quantity of purified air.
