3.1 Device operation

Wash hands before touching
breastpump, kit and breasts
and avoid touching the inside of
containers or lids.

After two minutes, the pump
will automatically change to the
Expression Phase.
a. If you let-down (your milk starts to

fl ow) sooner than 2 minutes, press
the let-down

button.

b. If let-down has not happened

during the Stimulation Phase and
the pump has switched to the
Expression Phase, press the let-
down

button once to return to

the Stimulation Phase.

• Always inspect breastshield,

breastshield connectors, white

membranes, yellow valves, and tubing

prior to use for cleanliness. If dirty, see
Section 1.2.

• If you experience pain or other

symptoms while pumping seek advice

from your healthcare professional or

breastfeeding specialist. See Section 7

for more information.

• Do not try and express with vacuum

that is too high and uncomfortable

(painful). The pain, along with potential

breast and nipple trauma may decrease

milk output.

• Make sure tubing is not kinked or

pinched while pumping.

• Contact your healthcare professional

or breastfeeding specialist if you can

express only minimal or no milk or if

expression is painful.

Caution

3. Pumping

• Research has shown that you will

pump more effi ciently – get more

milk in less time – when pumping at

Maximum Comfort Vacuum

during the

Expression Phase.

• You should reassess your Maximum

Comfort Vacuum throughout your

pumping experience because it can

change during the different stages of

lactation.

• Do not tilt or overfi ll containers when

pumping.
