When using electrical devices, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:
• Breast pump kits are a personal care item intended for use by a single user only and
should not be shared between users.
• Inspect the breast pump kit components prior to each use.
o Do not use the components if they are damaged.
o Do not use the components if dirt, mold or other contamination is visible.
• Inspect all appropriate pump components before each use.
• Clean and sanitize all parts that come in contact with your breast and breast milk prior

• Do not modify any breast pump kit components.
• Wash all parts that come in contact with your breast and breast milk after every use.
• Do NOT continue pumping for more than 2 consecutive pumping sessions if no results
are achieved.
