Breastmilk Storage Guidelines
Power Options (continued)
If batteries are in the pump, but AC adapter is in use, the pump will use the adapter to power
the pump, not the batteries. For the most economical use, we recommend using your pump with
the AC adapter provided. Your AC adaptor has a universal AC input and can be used with 120Vac
and 230Vac systems with 50Hz and 60Hz mains. The Affinity pump is intended to only be used
with the provided external adapter (Lansinoh part # 50409) by BridgePower Corporation, Model
JMW110-KA-09-00-B-07, with electrical rating 100-240 V AC, 50-60Hz.
Breastmilk Storage And Thawing Guidelines
For Healthy Term Babies
Check with your healthcare provider or an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant for
specific storage instructions. When you are freezing your breastmilk, do not fill containers more
than ¾ full to allow for expansion from freezing. Date containers with the date you expressed
your milk for future reference.
Deep Freeze
Fresh Breastmilk
6+ months
Thawed Breastmilk Do not refreeze
Source: La Leche League International, 2008
Note: DO NOT store breastmilk in freezer door. The door tends to be the warmest part of the freezer.
Date all breastmilk and use the oldest breastmilk first.
If you purchased the optional Cooler Pack and Freezer Pack as accessories to your Affinity Breast
Pump, you may safely store up to six (6), 5 oz. bottles in the room at an ambient room
temperature of 66° to 78°F for up to ten (10) hours. Freezer packs should be removed once
thawed and refrozen.
Thawing
Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or place the containers under cool running water, gradually
warming the water until the milk is thawed. Thawed milk can be kept in a refrigerator for up to
24 hours.
NOTE: DO NOT refreeze milk once it is thawed.
Gently shake thawed milk before feeding to baby to mix the layers that have separated. Breast-
milk is not homogenized and the "cream" will rise to the top of the bottle. Breastmilk can vary in
color and consistency depending upon the time of the day that the milk was expressed, what you
have eaten, and the age of the baby at the time of pumping.
NOTE: DO NOT MICROWAVE HUMAN MILK! Microwaving alters the composition of the milk.
Microwaving also may create "hot spots" in the milk that could burn the infant.
NOTE: DO NOT thaw breastmilk in hot or boiling water.

Troubleshooting / Technical Data
Troubleshooting The Lansinoh Affinity Breast Pump
Interruption of Electrical Service
If you experience an interruption in the normal operation of the electrical and/or mechanical
functioning of the pump, simply do the following:
• Unplug the AC adapter cord from the electrical outlet.
• Wait a few seconds, and then plug the AC adapter cord back into the electrical outlet.
Discomfort While Pumping
If you feel any discomfort, you may need a different size flange. Visit www.lansinohstore.com
or call 1.800.292.4794.
Decreased Suction
If it feels like the suction has decreased, try the following:
• Remove the tubing and tubing connector from the back of the pump and place a finger over
the pump outlet. If you feel suction, the pump is operating properly, but the Breastmilk
Expression Set may not be correctly assembled or the white valve may be damaged. If no
suction is felt on your finger, try unplugging the adapter from the electrical outlet, wait a few
seconds, and plug it back into the electrical outlet.
• Make sure the Breastmilk Expression Set has been properly assembled. Check the assembly
information in the section "Assembly Instructions", page 7.
• Inspect the white valve for a tear or pinhole. This component is critical to achieving proper
suction. Replace the white valve with one of the spare valves provided with the product.
• When single pumping, check the tubing adapter on the back of the pump to make sure it is
closed for single pumping. If open, close the adapter.
• If double pumping, ensure that the breastmilk expression set is on both breasts before
starting the pump.
Increased suction level for single pumping:
If it feels like the suction is higher than usual when single pumping, check that the plug for the
pipe is clean and that the airway in the plug is not blocked.
Breastmilk Build-up in Breastflange or Breastflange Body
If breastmilk does not appear to drain fast enough into the bottle, reduce the suction setting on
the pump to allow the milk to drain. Once milk has drained into the bottle, you may gradually
increase the suction level.
