7. Device Operation
CAUTION
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and
water before touching the breast and
pump parts.
• Always inspect breast shields, valves
and membranes prior to use for
cleanliness. If dirty, see Section 4.2.
• Contact your healthcare professional
or breastfeeding specialist if you can
express only minimal or no milk or if
expression is painful. See Section 11
for more information.
• Do not try and express with vacuum
that is too high and uncomfortable
(painful). The pain, along with potential
breast and nipple trauma may
decrease milk output.
• Step 2: Do not hold the pump kit by
the bottle. This can lead to blockage
of the milk ducts and engorgement.

7. 1 Pumping
1
Center breast shield over nipple.
Caution: pushing shield too firmly
into breast may actually reduce
milk flow.

Start pumping in the stimulation
mode by pressing down on the
milk drops symbol
pump handle. Press and release
quickly until you see milk flow
begin. This mode mimics baby's
initial rapid sucking and is designed
to stimulate milk flow/let-down.
