1. Introducing the AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
The AVENT ISIS Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump
design. Its silicone diaphragm provides 100% reliable suction, while
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 breast milk to be the best nutrition for babies
during the first year, combined with solid food after the first 4-6
months. Your milk is specially adapted for your baby’s needs and
contains antibodies which help protect your baby against infection
and allergies.
Your AVENT ISIS 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 nipple is specially designed to mimic
breastfeeding, your baby will switch easily between breast and bottle.
So working mothers can continue to breastfeed morning and evening
and others can feed their expressed breast milk during the day.
AS EFFECTIVE AS ELECTRIC PUMPS
BUT WITH GREATER CONVENIENCE
*
* In two recent clinical studies, mothers expressed the same amount of milk or more
in ten minutes with the ISIS Breast Pump when compared with electric pumps, with
greater comfort and convenience.

5. Using the AVENT Disposable System
with your ISIS Breast Pump
Simply replace the AVENT Reusable Bottle with
the AVENT Disposable Bottle Holder fitted with
a disposable bottle bag.
6. How to assemble your AVENT
ISIS Breast Pump
Please refer to diagram 6 at the beginning of this leaflet. Separate all
parts and ensure pump has been cleaned and sterilized as in section 3:
1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Click the white star valve (g) into the
pump body (f) from underneath making sure the flat side of the
valve is downwards and the star side is facing up.
2) Place the pump body (f) onto the bottle (h).
3) Twist gently clockwise until it catches. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
4) Place the silicone diaphragm with stem (d) into the pump body (f).
Make sure it fits securely around the rim by pressing down with
your fingers to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled
while wet.)
5) Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the diaphragm
stem (d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks
into place.
6) Carefully insert the let-down massage cushion (b) into the pump funnel
(f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of the funnel.
(This is easier if assembled while wet .)
7) Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump
completely stable insert the bottle into the stand (i).

3. To clean and sterilize your pump
Before you use your breast pump for the first
time and every time before use:
Separate all parts, then wash in the top shelf of the
dishwasher or in warm soapy water and rinse. Do not
use antibacterial cleaners/detergents.
Sterilize in an AVENT Steam
Sterilizer (electric or microwave), or by boiling for
10 minutes. If using an AVENT Steam Sterilizer,
the pump will remain sterile in the Sterilizer for 3
hours provided the lid is not removed. Open lid to
dry for storage/assembly. (Always use distilled water.)
4. To keep your pump sterile and
compact for travel
After sterilizing all parts, you can secure the cover (a)
over the funnel and let-down massage cushion and
screw the travel cover (l) onto the pump body (f ) in place
of the bottle or bottle holder.

4) Placing a warm cloth on the breasts for a few minutes before you start
pumping can encourage milk flow and 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 from the other,
or continue expressing just after nursing.
7) Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help
stimulate your milk ducts.
Practice with your pump to find the best technique for you. However, if the
process becomes very painful, stop and consult your breastfeeding adviser.
9. How to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
1) Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.
Gently squeeze a little milk from each nipple to ensure milk ducts are
not blocked.
2) Make sure you have sterilized and carefully assembled your pump
exactly as shown in sections 3 and 6.
3) Consult the ‘Hints to help you succeed’section.
4) Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions
to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.
5) Press the funnel and let-down massage cushion of the pump firmly
against your breast, making sure that no air can escape – otherwise
there will be no suction.
6) As you gently push down on the pump handle you will feel the suction on
your breast. You don’t need to depress the handle fully to create a vacuum;
only as much as is comfortable. Initially squeeze the handle with short
quick compressions until let-down is achieved. Your milk will soon start
flowing even though you may not use all the suction the pump can generate.
7) Hold the vacuum for 2-3 seconds and allow the handle to return to the
resting position after each stroke. This will always allow the milk to flow
into the bottle and not build up in the body of the pump. Do not keep
pumping the handle. The 2-3 second cycle described above imitates your
baby’s natural suckling pattern.
US
7. When to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are
well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after bir th, unless told
otherwise by your doctor or breastfeeding adviser.
2) The exceptions to the above are:
a) If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
b) If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express
a small amount of milk before or between feeds to ease the pain
and to help your baby latch on more easily.
c) If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your
milk until they are healed.
d) If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to
breastfeed when you are reunited, you should express your milk
regularly to stimulate your milk supply.
3) You will need to find the right times of the day for you to express
your milk, i.e.
a) Early in the morning when your breasts are full, just before
or after your baby’s first feed.
b) After nursing, if your baby has not emptied both breasts.
c) Between feeds, or on a break if you have returned to work.
8. Hints to help you succeed
Using a breast pump takes practice – you may need to make several
attempts before you succeed, but because the AVENT ISIS Breast pump
is so simple and natural to use, you will soon get accustomed to
expressing your milk.
1) Familiarize yourself with the pump and pieces prior to use.
2) Choose a time when you’re not rushed and won’t be interrupted.
3) Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help
encourage ‘let-down’.
US
• DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.
Storing your milk in AVENT Reusable Bottles
If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 48 hours,
assemble the nipple, screw ring and dome cap and attach onto the
bottle for storage in the fridge.
To store in the freezer (for up to 3 months), use an AVENT Sealing Disc in
place of the nipple and dome cap. The storage container should be clearly
labeled with the date and time of expression and older milk used up first.
Storing your milk in AVENT Disposable Bottle Bags
If using AVENT Disposable Bags for storage, secure bag with clip and
place in disposable holder base. Allow at least 25mm/1" of space
between the milk and the clip as the milk will expand as it freezes.
No more than 6 fl.oz. (170 ml) of milk should be stored in a disposable
bag. Make sure it is well protected in the freezer to prevent crushing.
• Double bag to prevent tearing.
11. Feeding your baby expressed breast milk
If breast milk has been stored in an AVENT Breast Milk Storage
Container, replace the sealing disc with a sterilized AVENT nipple.
If breast milk has been stored in a Disposable Bottle Bag, fit the bag into
the AVENT Disposable Bottle Holder. Assemble blue tinted nipple, screw
ring and dome cap and screw onto the top of the holder, securing the bag.
Frozen breast milk should be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator.
Once thawed use within 24 hours.
Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any other bottle feed. Stand
the bottle of milk in a bowl of hot water or alternatively, for a safe and
fast way to warm feeds use the AVENT Express Bottle Warmer. Always
make sure you test the temperature of the milk before giving to baby.
Never heat breast milk or formula in a microwave as this may destroy
valuable nutrients/ and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating
may cause hot spots in the liquid which could cause burns to the throat.
US
8) Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes. Don’t worry if your
milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping.
Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO
result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.
Please remember that, should the process become very painful or
uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your
doctor or breastfeeding adviser.
9) Some women may prefer to use the pump without the let-down massage
cushion. Extensive trials show that, in most cases, the massaging effect
of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the letdown reflex and allows you to express more milk more quickly.
10)
On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60/120 ml or
2/4 ozs. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman
.
10. How to store your expressed breast milk
• Breast milk can be stored in the
fridge or freezer in either Breast
Milk Storage Containers
(4 oz/125 ml bottles fitted with
sealing discs) or in disposable
bags, sealed with clips.
• Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored and fed
to your baby.
• Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.
• Double bag if using disposable liners.
• Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to
48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• If you are storing milk to add to during the day, ensure it is put back
in the fridge each time. Milk can only be kept like this for a maximum
of 24 hours (from first expression) after which it must be used
immediately or frozen for future use.
• NEVER refreeze breast milk.
US
13. Troubleshooting Guide
Lack of suction
No milk being expressed
Pain when expressing
Milk is drawn up the
petal massage cushion
Cracking/discoloration
of pump parts
Lost or broken parts
Check that all the pump components have been assembled
correctly and that the white star valve is facing up with the
flatside into the bottle. Ensure that the diaphragm and
let-down massage cushion are fitted securely to the pump
body and a perfect seal is created.
Ensure suction is created and the pump is
correctly assembled.
Relax and try again, expression may improve after practice.
Please refer to the ‘Hints to help you succeed’section.
You may be pumping too hard. You do not need to use
all the suction the pump can generate.
Try depressing the handle halfway and remember the
2-3 second pumping rhythm. Consult your health
professional/breastfeeding adviser.
Try removing and refitting the let-down massage cushion to
ensure it is firmly attached and pushed far enough down the
funnel. Try leaning slightly forward. Try releasing the handle
more frequently to empty the breast milk into the storage
container. Refer to “How to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump”.
Avoid contact with antibacterial detergents/cleaners as
these can damage the plastic. Combinations of detergents,
cleaning products, sterilizing solution, softened water and
temperature fluctuations may, under certain circumstances,
cause the plastic to crack. Take care not to overtighten while
assembling the pump. If this occurs, do not use. Contact
AVENT Customer Services for spare parts. The pump is
dishwasher safe but food colorings may discolor components.
Spare parts are available through AVENT Customer Services,
telephone 1-800-54-AVENT or visit our web-site at
www.aventamerica.com
If you are still experiencing problems, please contact AVENT Customer Services
at 1-800-54-AVENT or email us at www.aventamerica.com or contact your
health care professional/breastfeeding adviser.
