Thank you for choosing the Harmony breastpump. Breastmilk is the natural choice for

4

your baby, but there are reasons and situations where breastfeeding is not possible.
For over 50 years, it has been Medela’s conviciton that these mothers and babies can
be supported. In close co-operation with breastfeeding experts, Medela, one of the
marketleaders, has researched and developed breastpumps that per fectly meet
breastfeeding mothers needs. For mothers who insist on the best for their babies
and themselves. Because you care.

Why Harmony™?

Harmony is the best solution if you need to leave your baby for short periods, for shopping
or sports for example. You can still provide valuable breast milk. The 2-Phase Expression
technology and the practical handling enable you to pump efficiently. Harmony is discreet
and easily transported.

What is 2-Ph ase Expression®?

Medela has been the first company worldwide to deeply
research babies and their feeding behaviour. The results
have led to the development of the 2-Phase-Expression­Technology. 2-Phase-E xpression is based on the natural
sucking rhythm of the baby: Short, stimulating movements

(Sti mulatio n) are followed by longer, more intensive ones
(Expression), ensuring an optimal milkflow. Thus,

more milk can be expressed in a shorter time –
and more comfortably.

Indications for use

Harmony is a manual breastpump for supporting breastfeeding mothers.
Harmony is ideal:
I To help overcome mother or baby breast feeding problems

– To relieve sore and cracked nipples
– To bring out flat or inverted nipples

Important safeguards

Read all instructions before use.

I Use the product only for its intended use as described in this instruction manual.
I Use Medela original accessories only.
I Check pump kit components for wear or damage.
I This is a single user product. Use by more than one person may present a health risk.
I If problems or pain occur, consult your lactation consultant or physician.

Herzlichen Dank, dass Sie sich für die Harmony Milchpumpe entschieden haben.
Muttermilch ist an sich das Beste für ihr Baby, doch es gibt viele Gründe, weshalb Stillen
nicht immer möglich ist. Als einer der Marktführer setzt sich Medela seit über 50 Jahren
mit Überzeugung für das Wohl von Babys und Müttern ein. In Zusammenarbeit mit
Stillexperten und mit führenden Forschern hat Medela Milchpumpen entwickelt, die opti­mal auf die Bedürfnisse stillender Frauen abgestimmt sind. Für Mütter, die das Beste für

Möchten Sie gelegentlich ausgehen, einkaufen oder einen Termin wahrnehmen und

Technologie ermöglichen es Ihnen ef fizient abzupumpen. Ausserdem lässt sich die

Was i st 2-Phase Expression®?

Als weltweit erstes Unternehmen hat Medela das Verhalten
von Babys an der Mutterbrust durch jahrelange
Forschungsarbeit in die 2-Phase Expression Technologie
einfliessen lassen. Diese beruht auf dem natürlichen
Saugrythmus des Babys: Auf kurze, stimulierende

(Sti mulatio nsphase) folgen lange intensive Bewegungen
(Abpump has e), die für optimalen Milchfluss sorgen.

Damit kann auf angenehme Art mehr Milch in weniger
Zeit abgepumpt werden.
