Water volume and temperature
Aneros suggests 2–3 fl oz for a small rinse. The 10 fl oz bulb can hold one larger rinse or up to four small rinses without refilling. Use water only, near body temperature. The maker instructions warn against water warmer than 104°F or cooler than 90°F.
Insertion and use boundaries
- Inspect the bulb, nozzle, valve, and flange. Do not use a damaged, degraded, or contaminated component.
- Fill with water only and securely attach the nozzle. Apply a small amount of water-based lubricant to the nozzle and the body.
- Insert the nozzle at least 2 inches, but never beyond the top of the flange. The flange is the maximum-insertion guide.
- Compress the bulb slowly. A full 10 fl oz discharge takes about 30–45 seconds; a small rinse uses only part of the bulb.
- Withdraw carefully while holding the nozzle flange, then allow time for the water to be expelled before deciding whether another small rinse is appropriate.
Use only water-based lubricant. Aneros warns that silicone lubricant and petroleum oil can damage the device and void its warranty. Never insert anything into the nozzle or force the valve open with an object.
Health and safety limits
- This is a personal-hygiene product, not a medical device or treatment for constipation, fecal impaction, or any medical condition.
- Do not use on swollen, inflamed, broken, bleeding, painful, or numb tissue. Stop immediately for discomfort, pain, irritation, swelling, bleeding, or loss of sensation.
- Do not use while impaired by drugs or alcohol, with numbing or desensitizing products, or when you cannot reliably feel and respond to discomfort.
- Aneros directs users to consult a physician before use with active Crohn's disease, active ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, IBS, or rectal or anal bleeding.
- Do not share the device. If the nozzle detaches internally, seek immediate medical attention.
Cleaning, drying, and storage
Detach the nozzle by holding the flange. Wash the bulb and nozzle inside and out with warm water and liquid soap, and run soapy water through the valve by pinching the tip as directed in the maker instructions. Rinse thoroughly, pat with a clean lint-free cloth, invert the bulb, and allow every component to air-dry completely before reassembly or storage.
Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, and do not insert tools or cleaning objects into the nozzle. Store the fully dry parts in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, dust, lint, and contact with incompatible materials. Reinspect before every use.
