1. Introducing the ISIS Manual Breast Pump

CLINICALLY PROVEN AS EFFECTIVE AS HOSPITAL
ELECTRIC PUMPS*

The ISIS Manual Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump design.
Its silicone diaphragm provides 100% reliable vacuum, whilst the Let-down
Massage Cushion naturally imitates your baby’s suckling action to provide
fast milk flow – silently, comfortably and gently. The pump is easy to
assemble, discreet to use and all parts are dishwasher safe.

Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies during
the first year, combined with solid food after the first 6 months. Your milk
is specially adapted to your baby’s needs and contains antibodies which
help protect your baby against infection and allergies.

Your ISIS Manual Breast Pump will help you breastfeed longer. You can
express and store your milk so that – whether you are out for a few hours,
taking a well deserved rest, or back at work – your baby can still enjoy the
benefits of your breast milk, even if you can’t be there to give it yourself.
As the pump is so silent and discreet you can take it with you anywhere,
allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your
milk supply.

Since the AVENT Bottle and Airflex Teat are specially designed to mimic
breastfeeding, your baby will switch easily between breast and bottle.
This allows mothers to continue providing breast milk to baby even
when they return to work.

3. Cleaning and sterilisation

Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time before use:

Separate all parts, then wash in the dishwasher or in warm soapy water
and rinse. Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/detergents. Sterilise
in a Philips AVENT Steam Steriliser (Electronic, Electric or Microwave), or
by boiling for 5 minutes. If using a Philips AVENT Steam Steriliser, the pump

will remain sterile in the steriliser
for a minimum of 6 hours, provided
the lid is not removed.

4. Keeping your breast pump sterile
for travel

After sterilising all parts, insert the white valve (g) and
fit the diaphragm with stem (d) onto the pump body (f).
Clip the cover (a) over the funnel and Let-down Massage
Cushion (b) and screw on the sealing base (m) in place of
the Airflex Feeding Bottle (h).

5. Using the ISIS Manual Breast Pump
with the AVENT VIA Storage System

Simply replace the Airflex Feeding Bottle with the VIA
Cup and Adaptor. To make the pump completely stable
insert the VIA Cup into the VIA Lid/Stand.
