The defined signal words identify all instructions that are important to safety. Failure to observe these
instructions can lead to injury or damage to the breast pump or yourself. When used in conjunction
with the following words, the defined signal words stand for:
WARNING Can lead to serious injury or death.
CAUTION Can lead to minor injury.
NOTE Can lead to material damage.
INFO Useful or important information that is not related to safety.
WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:
• This product is intended for use by a single user only and should not be shared between users.
• Do not operate a moving vehicle while pumping.
• Inspect all appropriate pump components before each use.
• Do NOT continue pumping for more than 2 consecutive pumping sessions if no results
are achieved.
• If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
• If breast milk backup occurs, you must clean tubing, faceplate and diaphragm before
your next pumping session.
• Use the product only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never use while sleeping or when drowsy.
• This device cannot be serviced or repaired. Do not repair yourself. Do not modify the device.
• Never use a damaged device. Replace damaged or worn parts.
• 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.
• Use only the power adaptor that comes with the breast pump.
• Pumping can induce labor. 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 irritation or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and see a doctor.
• 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.
• 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.)

first use.
• Wash all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk after every use.
• Only use Medela recommended parts with your breast pump.

CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:
• Do NOT wrap cord around adaptor body.
• Use only the power adaptor that comes with the Pump In Style® Advanced Breast Pump.
• Use only the Pump In Style Advanced battery pack that comes with the Pump In Style
Breast Pump.
• Pump only with the breast pump in an upright position.
• Do NOT shorten tubing.
• Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source.
• Plug the power adaptor into the breast pump first and then into the wall socket.
• Do NOT use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/detergents when cleaning breast pump or breast
pump parts.
• Never put breast pump motor in water or a sterilizer, as you can cause permanent damage to the
breast pump.
• Do not attempt to remove the breast shield from your breast while pumping. Turn the breast pump
off and break the seal between your breast and breast shield with your finger, then remove breast
shield from your breast.
• 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.
• Contact your health care professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or
no milk or if expression is painful. See Section 10 & 11 for more information.
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a breast pump should
not cause pain. For assistance with correct breast shield sizing and comfort please visit www.
MedelaBreastshields.com or see a lactation consultant / breastfeeding specialist.
• 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.
• Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping.
• Do not hold the pump kit by the bottle. This can lead to blockage of the milk ducts and
engorgement.
• Using a breast pump on an aircraft is not recommended. The cabin pressure may affect the breast
pumps performance.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breast pump, kit and breasts, and
avoid touching the inside of bottles or lids.
• Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use. This will help
remove breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
4
CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury: (cont.)
• Always inspect breast shields, connectors, valves, membranes, bottles, lids, and tubing prior to use
for cleanliness. Contact Medela Customer Service if cleaning does not resolve the issue.
• Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning your breast pump and parts.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• Do not run pump with wet tubing. Doing so may damage the breast pump.
• If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast tissue
against the breast shield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care™ Lanolin may be beneficial.
For assistance with correct breast shield sizing and comfort please visit www.MedelaBreastshields.
com or see a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist.

7. Pumping
Caution
• Always inspect breast shields, breast
shield connectors, white membranes,
yellow valves, and tubing prior to use for
cleanliness. If dirty, see Section 5.1.
• If you experience pain or other symptoms
while pumping seek advice from your
healthcare professional or breastfeeding
specialist. See Section 11 for more
information.
• Do not try and express with vacuum that is
too high and uncomfortable (painful). The
pain, along with potential breast and nipple
trauma may decrease milk output.
• Make sure tubing is not kinked or
pinched while pumping.
• Contact your healthcare professional or
breastfeeding specialist if you can express
only minimal or no milk, or if expression
is painful.
Info
• Research has shown that you will pump
more efficiently – get more milk in less time
– when pumping at Maximum Comfort
Vacuum™ during the Expression Phase.
• You should reassess your Maximum
Comfort Vacuum throughout your pumping
experience, because it can change during
the different stages of lactation, see step 5
in Section 7.
• Do not tilt or overfill containers
when pumping.

After two minutes, the pump
will automatically change to the
Expression Phase.
a. If you let-down (your milk starts to
flow) sooner than 2 minutes, press
the let-down button.
b. If let-down has not happened
during the Stimulation Phase and
the pump has switched to the
Expression Phase, press the letdown button once to return to
the Stimulation Phase.
2 3
While sitting in an upright
position, center the assembled
breast shields over your nipples.

To find your Maximum Comfort
Vacuum, increase speed/
vacuum until pumping feels
slightly uncomfortable (not
painful), then decrease slightly.
To begin pumping, turn dial clockwise from
the off position. Your pumping session
will start in the Stimulation Phase. While
pumping, adjust the speed/vacuum by
turning the dial to your comfort level.

7. Pumping (cont.)
Note
• Always disconnect Pump In Style® from
the power source after expression.
• Only fill the bottle to the 150 mL mark.
Info
• How often should you pump? A
breast pump is a replacement for when
you are separated from your baby. It is
important to pump when the baby would
be breastfeeding, which usually means a
working mother pumps 3 times during an
8 hour working day.
• How long should your pumping session
last? Pumping times can vary from
mother to mother sometimes 15 minutes,
sometimes up to 20 minutes.
• How should your breasts feel after
pumping? After pumping, your breasts
should feel soft and there should be no
firm areas. Before pumping, your breasts
will have a firm, heavy feeling. After
pumping make sure your breasts are
not firm or have lumpy areas. This could
indicate that the breast is not draining all
over. See Section11 for more information.
