Important Safeguards

To avoid health risk and reduce risk of injury

Please read all instructions before using this product! We suggest doing this before a 3am pumping session hits and it’s hard to see straight.

• While the breast pump system can be used by multiple users, each user must use her own

breast pump kit. Breast pump kits are personal care items intended for use by a single user and should not be shared between users.

• Always unplug the system immediately after use, except when charging.

• Do not place or store product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub, sink, or other wet

location. Do not run water over breast pump enclosure. Do not use an electrical device that has been exposed to water or other liquids.

• Do not use near flammable materials.

• Never operate an electrical device if it has a damaged cord or plug, is not working properly, or if

it has been dropped or damaged. If damage is found, immediately discontinue use and contact Babyation at 844-744-PUMP (7867) or help@babyation.com.

• Use only the power adapter provided to power the unit and recharge the battery. If you need

another one, please purchase a Babyation power supply intended for use with this model.

• Loose tubing and cables may present a strangulation hazard. Keep all tubing and cables away

from children.

• If you are a mother who is 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.

• Do not use the pump while operating a motor vehicle.

• This device cannot be serviced or repaired. Do not repair yourself. Do not modify the device.

• Never use a damaged device. Inspect all components prior to use and replace damaged or worn

accessories.

• Use the breast pump only for its intended use as described in this manual.

• Replace tubing every 24 hours as described in this manual.

• Clean and sanitize breast shield and milk collection devices prior to first use. Do not clean or

sanitize your tubing.

• Clean breast shields after every use.

• Use only Babyation accessories with your Babyation breast pump system.

• The internal rechargeable battery is not replaceable. Do not attempt to service the battery.

• The Babyation device contains heat-generating components that could cause temperatures

above ambient. The device has been tested to ensure excessive heating does not occur.

• In order to disconnect the pump from external power, unplug the power adapter from the wall

socket. Ensure that the adapter remains accessible at all times in case it becomes necessary to disconnect external power.

• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a breast pump should

not cause pain.

• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breast pump, kit, breasts, and

avoid touching the inside of the milk containers or lids.

• Use only drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning your breast pump and parts.

• Ensure all parts are completely dry before use. Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may

develop.

• Do not try to express with suction that is too high, causing discomfort or pain. The pain, along

with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output.

• Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping.

• Ensure tube does not get pinched when closing lid.

• Using a breast pump on an aircraft is not recommended. The cabin pressure may affect the

breast pump’s performance.

• The breast pump can use Bluetooth® technology. Please follow your air carrier rules if using the

portable electronic pump when flying.

• For best battery life, try not to fully discharge the battery. If you are going to store the pump for

an extended period, be sure to fully charge the pump prior to storing. Continue to top off the charge every several months.

• Plastic milk containers and parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.

• The milk sensor will only work if the inside of the pump enclosure and outside of the bottle

exteriors are kept dry.

• Do not puncture the breast shield diaphragm. Keep the breast shield diaphragm away from

sharp objects.

• Breast shield parts should be completely dry before use.

• Discontinue pump use immediately and contact Babyation support if milk is seen in the suction

tube.

• Take care not to drop the pump. (But you knew that!)

• Do not store any other items in the pump lid besides the items that came with the device.

• Close enclosure lid when not in use to keep dust, lint, and dirt out of the system. Contamination

may reduce the effectiveness of the pump.

• Keep enclosure out of direct sunlight. This will make the display easier to read, will prevent

overheating of your milk, and will prolong the life of internal components.

• The breast shields should be replaced every 6 months.

• Keep the phone close to the breast pump to ensure the best Bluetooth® connectivity.

Connectivity issues may arise if the breast pump is used around other Bluetooth® devices.

• The expected operating life of this pump is approximately two years.

• The milk level sensor is accurate to a quarter of a fluid ounce.

Product Description

The Babyation breast pump system is a multi-user electric breast pump that you can use on either one breast or both breasts simultaneously (single or double pumping). It has a built-in rechargeable battery for increased portability and convenience, because we know these are important features for moms everywhere.

The breast pump can also be controlled by the Babyation mobile app. The mobile app communicates wirelessly through Bluetooth technology with the breast pump, allowing you to remotely control the pump and and see real-time tracking of milk expression. There are additional controls on the breast pump system that can be used by themselves or along with the mobile app controls, depending on your preference. Personal data on the mobile app is secured, as is the wireless connection to the pump, to prevent unauthorized use.

Cleaning Your Breast Pump System

Washing and sanitizing are two different things, and each plays a critical role in caring for your breast pump system. Washing physically removes contamination, while sanitizing kills any organisms that may be present.

Cleaning the breast shields, milk containers, and caps

When you unbox your breast pump system for the first time, you may be excited, confused, or likely a bit of both. Before you fully embrace those feelings (which are totally normal), you should sanitize the following items:

• Breast shield outer shell

• Breast shield soft inner part

• Pumping caps

• Milk containers

• Storage caps

DO NOT WASH, SANITIZE, OR CLEAN THE TUBING. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERMANENT PUMP DAMAGE.

To sanitize with boiling water:

1. Fill pot with enough water to cover all parts. Bring water to a boil.

2. Place parts in boiling water for 10 minutes.

3. Carefully remove from water with tongs or whatever utensil you have handy that keeps you

from getting burned. Place all parts on a clean towel or rack, and allow parts to air dry. Store parts in a cool place when not in use. Do not store wet or damp parts. Breast shield parts must be completely dry before use.

Separate and wash the breast shield outer shell and soft inner part, milk containers, pumping caps, and storage caps immediately after use.

Washing in sink:

1. Rinse breast outer shell, breast shield soft inner part, milk containers, pumping caps, and

storage caps in cool water to remove milk residue.

2. Soak in warm soapy water for 5 minutes, and then gently scrub them and rinse.

3. Place all parts on a clean towel or rack, and allow parts to air dry. Store parts in a cool place

when not in use. Do not store wet or damp parts. Breast shield parts must be completely dry before use.

Using dishwasher:

1. Rinse breast shield inner layer, breast shield outer layer, milk containers, pumping caps, and

storage caps in cool water to remove milk residue.

2. Place in top rack of your dishwasher.

3. Place all parts on a clean towel or rack, and allow parts to air dry. Store parts in a cool place

when not in use. Do not store wet or damp parts. Breast shield parts must be completely dry before use.

Washing will help remove breast milk and prevent growth of bacteria. Store these items in a clean bag or container until next use (Ziplocs or Tupperware work nicely). Take care not to damage parts of the pump during cleaning.

Cleaning the breast pump enclosure and strap

Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth covered in soapy water or an alcohol-based disinfecting agent. Wipe the remaining moisture off the unit with a dry cloth.
