TOO LARGE

During pumping. more areola
is drawn into the breast flange
with your nipple. Your areola
may rub against the side of
the breast flange tunnel.

4.5. Pumping Guide

4.6. Getting Started

1. Gently massage your breasts or apply warm compresses from the back of the
breast toward the nipple before using.

2. Express milk from each breast for 10-15 minutes. It is recommended to pump

frequently rather than pumping for a long duration. (Every 2-3 hours, 8 times a day)

1. Before first use, charge the breast pump battery fully with the power adapter OR
plug power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.

2. Center the breast flange on your breast so that the nipple is drawn into the flange.

It’s important that breast flange is positioned properly before pumping begins
to avoid any pain that may result due to rubbing or twisting of your nipple onto
the side of the flange. If double pumping, position the second breast flange as
instructed above.

IMPORTANT: When the power adapter is plugged in the LCD screen will light
up and the battery will be charged. The battery status will be displayed.

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 breast flange
sizing, please contact a healthcare professional or AMEDA representative
who can help you get a proper flange fit.

GOOD FIT

During pumping. your nipple
moves freely in the breast
flange tunnel. You see space
around the nipple. Not much
areola is drawn into the
tunnel with the nipple.

TOO SMALL

During pumping. some or all
of your nipple rubs against
the sides of the breast flange
tunnel.

4. Press the Massage/Expression

button to change to expression mode once
your milk starts flowing. If milk flow slows,
try for another let-down by switching back
to massage mode until milk flow increases,
then switch back to expression mode to
resume pumping. Repeat as needed.

The device will power ON and begin in Expression mode. After the first
pumping the device will begin pumping at the last setting used. To switch

5. Adjust vacuum using

(Never set to uncomfortable level)

6. When you wish to stop expressing, first

press the Power button, then remove
milk collection kit from
your breast.

Start off with the suction low, and then gradually increase the suction setting to your
comfort level. You may find that the level of suction that you are comfortable with
varies from day to day, during the day and even during the same expression session.

Breast Pump Settings/Modes

The suction level on your breast pump refers to the vacuum strength, or how strongly
the pump sucks. This is measured in mmHg. When you are using your Ameda Mya, you
will usually find that expressing is most effective on the highest suction level that you are
comfortable with.

However, it’s important not to set suction level so high that it makes you uncomfortable.

Suction Settings

Adjust the suction level by pressing the buttons.

Suction pattern with fast speed and low suction to start milk flowing.

Suction pattern with slower speed and higher suction to express more
milk gently and efficiently.

Make sure to not overfill bottles. If you plan on freezing bottles, fill only up to ¾ full,
as milk expands with freezing. After milk has been pumped into Ameda storage
bottles, close by placing locking disc on top of bottle (make sure circular raised middle
part of disc is facing up). Tighten locking ring onto bottle. Label bottle with date and
time that milk was pumped. Use storage chart provided as a guideline.

Guidelines for Storing and Thawing Human Milk

* Storage times may vary for premature or sick babies. Sources: Jones, F. Best Practice for Expressing,

Storing and Handling Human Milk in Hospitals, Homes and Child Care Settings. Raleigh, NC: Human
Milk Banking Association of North America, 2011.

You can adjust the speed and suction level in expression mode to best suit your body.
The maximum comfort suction is the highest suction setting where a mother still feels
comfortable during pumping. It is different for every mother.

4.8. After Every Use: Cleaning the Milk Collection Kit

1. Remove tubing from the back-flow protector

2. Set aside tubing, it doesn’t not need to be washed after
each use— milk does not come into direct contact with it.

Take apart the remaining parts: the flange(s), valve(s),
back-flow protector(s), separating out the top, silicone and
bottom pieces, and milk storage bottle(s), including locking
ring(s) and locking disc(s).

DO NOT wash or
boil tubing. Tubing
needs to remain
dry to avoid any
potential mold
contamination.

WARNING

ALWAYS wash hands well
with soap and water.

After every use, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider, prepare
the product for use as follows:

CLEANING: Cleaning with warm, soapy water.

1. RINSE any milk from pump parts with
cool water.

2. Hand WASH with warm, soapy

water, the flange(s), back-flow
protector(s), valve(s) and (if applies)
bottle(s), locking ring(s) and locking
disc(s). Wash valve(s) and back-flow
protector(s) silicone gently*.

3. RINSE with warm, clean water the

flange(s), back-flow protector(s),

valve(s) and (if applies) bottle(s), locking
ring(s) and locking disc(s).

4. Air DRY each part on a clean surface.

*Ameda does not recommend inserting

anything into the valves and backflow

protectors for cleaning but if you want to

use a brush or sanitizing steam bags, then

it is very important to check for cracks,

chips. tears or deformation before and

after use.

Pump parts may vary.

19

4.9. How Do I Thaw and Use Stored Breast Milk?

4.10. Button Control

1. ALWAYS make sure to check the date on the milk’s container before using. DO NOT

use undated milk, or milk that has been stored too long.

2. Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or under cool, running water.

3. Heat the milk under warm, running water and gently swirl the container to mix the milk.

4. If warm water is not available, heat a pan of water on the stove. Once the water is

warm, not boiling, remove the pan from the stove and place milk container in the
pan. NEVER warm the milk container directly on the stove.

5. NEVER microwave breast milk because microwaves can cause dangerous hot spots

that could burn you or a baby.

6. ALWAYS test the temperature of the milk on the inside of your wrist before feeding

it to a baby. The milk should feel warm, not hot.

7. After thawing, milk should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours.

8. NEVER refreeze thawed milk. Throw away thawed, previously frozen milk that is not

used within 24 hours.

•Unscrew grey locking ring from bottle.

•Place bottle on table or flat surface.

•Hold the bottle with one hand.

•With same hand, place thumb on edge of grey locking disc.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
and the Ameda Mya

The Ameda Mya is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of Ameda Mya can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the Ameda Mya as recommended below, according
to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distanced in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according
to the transmitter manufacturer. NOTE 1. At 80MHz and 800MHz, the separation distance for the
higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electro­magnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cord-

less) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast
and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the elec­tromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed
to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures
may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the device.

b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
