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.
