Operating the breast pump

Mimicking the baby´s rhythm (2-Phase Expression^® technology)

	Babies use a "two-speed" sucking action. At first, they suck quickly, and then they switch to a slower, deeper sucking rhythm once milk starts to flow. The quicker sucking action stimulates the milk ejection reflex and triggers the milk flow; the slower sucking draws the milk out for the feeding phase.
	The pump mimics the baby´s natural sucking rhythm by using a "two-speed" pumping action, the so called "2-Phase Expression ® technology".
	The breast pump begins with a fast sucking action called the stimulation phase. When you see milk flow or feel milk ejection, you can then press the "Let-down" button to switch to the expression phase, which is slower than the previous one. If you do not press the Let-down button, the expression phase will automatically start after the pump has been running for one minute in the stimulation phase.

Buttons and status light

Expressing your breast milk

In case of pain or insufficient milk expression:

• Do not hold the pump set by the bottle. This can lead to compression and blockage of the milk ducts and engorgement.
• Do not try to express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). The pain, along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful.

NOTICE
Make sure that the tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping.

1. If not already done, connect your assembled pump set to the tubing port on the right of the pump unit.
2. Make sure that the pump set is connected and positioned properly.
3. Press the On/Pause/Off button to start pumping.
   The stimulation phase begins and the status light is flashing.
4. Adjust the vacuum with the Increase vacuum and Decrease vacuum buttons to find a comfortable level.
5. As soon as your milk begins to flow, press the Let-down button to go to the expression phase.
   The expression phase begins and the status light is on steadily.
   If the Let-down button is not pressed within one minute, your breast pump will automatically go to expression phase.
6. Adjust the vacuum with the Increase vacuum and Decrease vacuum buttons to find your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™.
7. When your pumping session is over, press the On/Pause/Off button to stop the pumping operation.
   The breast pump stops automatically after 30 minutes if there is no user interaction with the pump.

Pausing

In both stimulation and expression phases the breast pump can be paused.
This allows you to readjust yourself or your breast pump set, or attend to your surroundings.

1. For pausing, press the On/Pause/Off button while the breast pump is running.
   The pumping operation stops and the status light is pulsing.
2. To resume pumping, press the On/Pause/Off button again.

• If pumping is not resumed within two minutes, the breast pump turns off automatically.
• If you need to pause for more than two minutes, restart with stimulation phase.

Turning off

To turn the breast pump off press and hold the On/Pause/Off button for two seconds.

After pumping

Prepare the milk for storage as follows:

1. Use the bottle stand to prevent the bottle from tipping over.
   
2. Remove the bottle from the connector.
   
3. Close the bottle with a lid.
4. Remove the tubing from the connector lid and the pump unit.
5. Store the tubing in a clean bag/container. Do not wrap the tubing around the pump unit.

For information on storing the milk follow the instructions.

Finding your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™

Maximum Comfort Vacuum™ is the highest vacuum setting where pumping still feels comfortable.

1. Once you are pumping in the Expression phase, increase the vacuum with the Increase vacuum button until pumping feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful).
2. Then decrease the vacuum slightly with one press of the Decrease vacuum button.

• Maximum Comfort Vacuum™ is different for every mother.
• Stimulation should be at a comfortable vacuum level, striving for a maximum level is not necessary here.
• Reassess your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™ throughout your pumping experience. It can change throughout each stage of lactation.

• Do not use the device while operating a moving vehicle.
• Do not continue pumping for more than two consecutive pumping sessions if no milk is expressed.
• Pumping can induce labour. Do not pump until after giving birth. If you become pregnant while breastfeeding or breast pumping, consult with a licensed healthcare professional before continuing.
• If infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast milk.
• Wash all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk after every use.
• The tubing poses a risk of strangulation when being played with and small parts may be swallowed by toddlers.
  Close supervision is necessary when the breast pump or accessories are used in the vicinity of children.

To avoid fire or burns:

• Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source. See technical specifications.
• Always unplug electrical products immediately after use except for when charging.
• Do not place or store the product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• The device and its accessories are not heat-resistant. Keep away from heated surfaces or open flames.
• Do not use near flammable materials.

To avoid health risks and reduce the risk of injury:

• Before each use visually inspect the individual components for cracks, chips, tears, discoloration or deterioration. In the event that damage to the device is observed, please discontinue use until the parts have been replaced.
• This product cannot be serviced or repaired. Do not repair yourself. Do not modify the device.
• Never use a damaged device. Replace defective or worn parts.
• Use the device only for its intended purpose as described in these instructions for use.
• Do not use the device while sleeping or overly drowsy.
• If tubing becomes mouldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
• Do not microwave or boil breast milk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to baby's mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving (Microwaving can also change the composition of breast milk).
• Clean and sanitize all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk prior to first use.
• Only use Medela recommended parts with the device.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal between the breast and the breast shield with your finger and remove the breast shield from your breast.
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a breast pump should not cause pain. If you are unsure about correct breast shield sizing please visitwww.medela.com or MedelaBreastShields.com (U.S.) or Medela.ca (Canada) or see a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a proper fit.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful.
• If pumping at high altitudes, including in an airplane, consider pumping more often or longer if you feel there is milk remaining in your breasts after your pumping session.
