CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:

• Portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can affect the breast pump.

• Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source. See Section 23 for technical speciﬁcations.

• 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.

• 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 CareTM 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.

• 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 7 & 8 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. See Section 11 for more information.

• The breast pump uses Bluetooth® technology. Please follow your air carrier rules for the use of Portable Electronic Devices when ﬂying with your breast pump.

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

Common pumping questions & answers

How often should you breast pump?

A breast pump is a replacement for when you are separated from your baby. It is important to pump when the baby would normally be breastfeeding. For example, a working mother may pump 2-3 times during an 8-hour work day.

How long should your pumping session last?

Pumping times can vary from mother to mother. Pumping sessions usually last from 15 to 30 minutes.

How should your breasts feel before and after pumping?

Before pumping, your breasts will have a ﬁrm, heavy feeling. After pumping, your breasts should feel soft with no ﬁrm areas. Firm areas could indicate that the breast is not completely drained.

8. Breast Shield Sizing

Caution

• 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 shield sizing, please contact a health care professional or breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a proper ﬁt.

• 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 CareTM Lanolin may be beneﬁcial.

1. Medela’s PersonalFit™ sizing

Pumping should not hurt. For maximum comfort and pumping efﬁciency, Medela offers ﬁve breast shield sizes.

Visit MedelaBreastshields.com to view the full guide to help you determine your optimal size based on your nipple diameter.

2. Test your breast shield size

1. Start with the 24 mm that came with your pump, or the size determined by measuring.

2. Center nipple and gently hold breast shield against your breast.

3. Adjust for Maximum Comfort Vacuum™, to achieve optimum suction level.

4. Refer to images while pumping in expression.

3. Should you try a new size?

• Does your nipple rub sides of tunnel, to the point of causing discomfort?

• Do you see excessive areola being pulled into tunnel?

• Do you see any redness?

• Is your nipple or areola turning white?

• Do you feel unexpressed milk after pumping?

If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, consider trying a new size by following the measuring instructions above.

If you are still unsure if you selected the correct size, see a lactation consultant, breastfeeding specialist, or visit MedelaBreastshields.com for assistance in choosing the right size breast shield.

Supplemental Information

Following are some common breastfeeding-related conditions. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact a healthcare professional or lactation professional.

Symptom Potential Causes

Engorgement Breasts are hard and uncomfortable, possibly

with reddened areas.

Milk not draining properly from breast. Milk can drain back into the tissue causing areas to swell and become tender.

Blocked/Plugged Ducts

Area of breast will look reddened and may be tender to touch.

Milk not being drained from a speciﬁc duct. The area becomes "clogged" up and milk is then prevented from ﬂowing.

Mastitis Often follows engorgement but can just occur

suddenly. The initial symptoms are similar to ﬂu – fatigue, headache and muscle aches, fever and localized breast tenderness. It can be in one or both breasts and needs immediate treatment.

A bacterial infection in the breast tissue which is often accompanied by cracked nipples.

A Healthcare Professional or Lactation Professional can give you guidance in breastfeeding your baby and using a breast pump. Their guidance is valuable in terms of the lifetime of health beneﬁts for both you and your baby.

Electromagnetic environment – guidance

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the breast pump, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. Recommend separation distance

d = 1,2√P d = 1,2√P 80 MHz - 800 MHz d = 2,3√P 800 MHz - 2.7 GHz

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m). Field strengths from ﬁxed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol.

Field strengths from ﬁxed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) 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 breast pump is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the breast pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the breast pump.

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, ﬁeld strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

Note 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, 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.
