Controls:
The Salvate™ Home Oral Hydration System contains three controls: ON/OFF, FREQUENCY, and SURGE .
The ON/OFF switch turns the device on ( | ) or off ( O ). When the device is turned ON, you will hear a series of beeps and then the device will perform a pump of water. Turn the switch off to stop the device.
The SURGE button initiates a pump of water from the device. If you hold down the SURGE button, the device will pump until you release the button. Use the SURGE button for immediate relief or a sip of water. If there is partial or no water in the tubing, you can use the SURGE button to pump water from the bottle to the mouthpiece.
The FREQUENCY knob controls how often the device pumps. Frequency options include 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60 pumps per hour. Turn the knob up for increased frequency, and down for less frequency.

Mouthpieces:
The Salvate™ Home Oral Hydration System includes 5 foam mouthpieces; and additional mouthpieces can be ordered in packs of 5. The mouthpiece will sit under your tongue or in the pocket of your cheek. Test where you find it most comfortable. Disconnect, rinse and dry out your mouthpiece after any long period of use (e.g. overnight or through a work day). Each mouthpiece should last at least a week with full-time use and consistent rinsing. To further clean the mouthpiece, dip it into mouthwash or denture cleaner. Always squeeze out any liquid, and allow the foam to dry between usage!
