When using the pump for the first time, your ISIS iQ will have retained factory settings stored in the memory as a result of quality control testing. If the blue One-Touch Memory Control is pressed prior to squeezing the control handle upon first use the pump will operate at these settings, which may or may not be comfortable for you. We recommend that prior to engaging the automatic mode,you establish a comfortable rhythm manually, then press the blue One-Touch Memory Control to continue your preferred rhythm.

If you find that you are not expressing a lot of milk the first few times you pump,don’t be discouraged. Learning to express milk, like breastfeeding, takes practice. Here are some tips that might make pumping easier:

1. Choose a time when you’re not rushed and won’t be interrupted.

2. Choose a comfortable chair with a table nearby, so you can set the ISIS iQ motor within reach.

3. Look at a photograph of your baby to help encourage let-down.

4. Place a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before you start pumping.This encourages milk flow and can soothe painful breasts.

5. Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow.Try expressing after a bath or shower.

6. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding on the other,or continue expressing just after a feed.

7. Reposition the pump on your breasts from time to time.This can stimulate your milk ducts.

How quickly will the milk flow begin?

When pumping with the ISIS iQ DUO™, your milk should begin to flow after a few compressions.If your milk does not begin to flow immediately,relax and continue pumping. CAUTION: DO NOT CONTINUE PUMPING FOR MORE THAN 5

MINUTES AT A TIME IF NO RESULT IS ACHIEVED. Stop, and try expressing milk at

another time of day.If the process becomes painful,stop and consult your lactation consultant or breastfeeding advisor.

How much milk can you expect?

It has been shown that double pumping boosts prolactin levels and stimulates milk production so, if you can,use your ISIS iQ DUO regularly as a double pump. On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-120 mls or 2-4 ounces of milk. However,this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 4 ounces of milk per session, attach a 9 oz/260 ml AVENT reusable base to the pump body.

HELPFUL TIP!

The light on top of the ISIS iQ DUO Motor indicates the pump mode:

Flashing ORANGE Light: Pump is in warm-up mode.Wait for the continuous GREEN light.

ontinuous GREEN Light: Manual pumping mode.You control the speed and pressure

of the pump.

Flashing GREEN Light: Automatic pumping mode.ISIS iQ will mimic your last established pumping rhythm and level of suction.

Flashing RED Light: Consult the Troubleshooting Guide on page 21.

Need Help? Call us at 1.800.54.AVENT or visit www.aventamerica.com

Before you begin pumping, make sure that you have correctly washed,sanitized and assembled the pump. Consult the ‘Preparing to Pump’ Section on page 7 for tips on stimulating let-down and milk flow.

ISIS iQ Mimics Your Pumping:To create a natural breastfeeding rhythm, we suggest you hold down on the handle for 3 seconds, then release and repeat the pattern for the next compression.

Next, press the blue One-Touch Memory Control on the handle.

The mode light on the pump motor will change from solid GREEN to flashing GREEN and ISIS iQ will mimic the rhythm of the last two compressions.

Note:You do not need to compress the handle fully,only until it feels comfor table.The further you compress the handle,the more suction the pump will provide. If the pressure is uncomfortable,stop the automated pumping by pressing the One-Touch Memory Control and breaking the seal between your breast and pump funnel with your finger.

Changing the Speed and Level of Suction: Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control on the handle again,and the pump will revert to manual control.The light will turn from flashing

GREEN to solid GREEN. Establish a comfortable speed and level

of suction. Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control again, and ISIS iQ will continue the same pumping rhythm.

Ending Pumping Session: Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control, break the seal between your breast and pump funnel with your finger and remove the pump from your breast.Turn the pump off and unplug at the power source.ISIS iQ will remember and save the speed and suction level of your last two compressions. Unscrew the base after milk is collected. If any milk remains in the pump body,pour it into the base.Do not overfill the base.Wash and re-sanitize all necessary parts before the next use.

Next time you turn your pump on: Resuming Saved Session? Turn on the pump as in Step 1. Complete Step 2. Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control.This engages the automatic pumping mode.The pump will continue with the rhythm of the last two saved compressions of the milk expression phase.Continue pumping as described in Step 4. Need to re-establish let-down? If you need to establish let-down,turn on the pump as in Step 1. Complete Step 2. Squeeze the handle with shallow quick strokes and proceed as described in Step 3.

Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.

Turn on Pump:When the flashing ORANGE light changes to a continuous GREEN light, the pump is ready to use.

If the light is flashing RED, refer to the ‘Troubleshooting Guide’ on page 21.

Form a Seal: Press the pump against your breast, so that your nipple fits into the funnel. A seal should form between the pump and your breast. (If double pumping, press a pump

to each breast.)

Let-down: Let-down is your body’s physiological response to the suckling action of your baby on the breast.This stimulates the breast to produce milk and send it towards the nipple where it is available for baby.

To initiate let-down,begin by squeezing the handle with shallow quick strokes.This is intended to imitate your baby’s natural suckling pattern. At the same time you are doing this, you are enabling the petals on the Let-down Massage Cushion

™

to flex in and out around the areola, creating a massaging effect.This is intended to help stimulate the natural let-down reflex. Let-down can occur immediately after a few strokes and should not take longer than 5 minutes (refer to page 7 on Preparing to Pump).You can choose to automate this let-down phase by pressing the blue One-Touch Memory Control or you can continue to pump manually.

Milk Expression: Milk Expression occurs after let-down is achieved and milk begins to flow.It is the phase that is induced by the baby’s deeper more comfortable sucking rhythm.

If you did not automate the let-down rhythm,please skip to Step 5. If you have automated the let-down phase in Step 3, press the blue One-Touch Memory Control to end the let-down rhythm.You can now begin to establish a comfortable pumping rhythm and level of suction that can be maintained throughout your pumping session.

Initiate let-down: Squeeze the handle with shallow, quick strokes, until milk starts to flow. Do not use full compression on the handle.

Begin Pumping:When you see milk beginning to flow, you can establish a comfortable pumping rhythm and level of suction. Create a natural breastfeeding rhythm by holding down on the handle for 3 seconds, then releasing, and repeating that pattern for each compression.

Note: You do not need to compress the handle fully,only until it feels comfortable.The fur ther you compress the handle, the more suction the pump will provide.

After milk is collected, unscrew the pump body from the base.

Caution: Do not continue pumping for more than five minutes at a time if no result is achieved.Try expressing at another time during the day.

Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.

Form a Seal: Press the pump against your breast, so that your nipple fits into the funnel. A seal should form between the pump and your breast.

With AVENT, you never have to transfer milk

between containers because you pump,

store and feed with the same base.

By using the AVENT Natural Feeding System,you

preserve valuable nutrients that can get lost if

breast milk is transferred.

With your ISIS iQ DUO™or ISIS™Manual Pump,you can express milk directly into VIA Disposable Cups.VIA Cups are safer and sturdier than disposable liners, and offer better protection for pumping,storing and feeding breast milk.

Get VIA and Get Going!

• Twist-on lid seals tightly to VIA Cup for leak-proof storing or freezing

• Writable and stackable cups make it easy to organize

• Compatible system lets you pump,store and feed using the same cup

• Sturdy VIA Cups heat easily and quickly in a bottle warmer

With all the assurances you get from VIA,why trust any other disposable?

AVENT®VIA™:

The Safest, Strongest Disposable Ever!

Guidelines for Storing Expressed Breast Milk

Refrigerate breast milk immediately.Refrigerate for up to 48 hours in the back of the refrigerator,not in the door.

Freeze for up to 3 months,or 6 months in a zero-degree freezer.

Frozen breast milk can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator,thawed in warm water or heated on the lowest setting of a bottle warmer or baby food warmer.

NEVER refreeze breast milk.

If you express small amounts of milk throughout the day,you can top up the milk container by keeping it in the refrigerator and adding to it.Make sure the milk is used within 48 hours of the first expression, or store it in the freezer.

DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.

Note: Only milk collected with a clean, sanitized pump should be stored to be fed to your baby. Sanitize Breast Milk Storage Containers before use or express milk directly into VIA™Disposable Cups.

Never immerse a frozen bottle or liner in boiling water as this may cause it to crack/split.

Transporting Expressed Breast Milk

Please refer to Tote Bag Instructions for complete directions on how to store and transport breast milk using the Thinsulate

™

carriers.

When removed from the freezer, four AVENT Gel Packs will keep one 4 oz or one 9 oz container of freshly expressed breast milk sufficiently chilled inside a Thinsulate carrier and insulated bag for up to 6 hours. Ensure that both the storage containers and carriers are placed upright in the bag to prevent leaking. Also make sure that the Thinsulate carriers are completely zipped.

Be sure to keep the gel packs frozen until they are ready to use and refrigerate milk immediately after removing it from the insulated bags.

In hot climates, avoid storing Thinsulatecarriers or the travel bag containing expressed milk in a car, office, cabinet etc. Milk must be sufficiently chilled to avoid spoilage.

Please note: Milk storage times vary based on collection and storage conditions.This storage information is only a suggestion. Please contact your doctor or lactation consultant about milk storage guidelines.

After expressing milk into the AVENT reusable base, insert a sealing disc into the screw ring and twist it onto the base.To feed from the same base, insert the AVENT Natural Shape Nipple into the screw ring.
