• Do not wrap cord around the power adaptor body.
• Use only the breast pump battery pack that comes with the breast pump.
• Plug the power adaptor into the breast pump first and then into the wall socket.
• Never put breast pump in water or a sterilizer, as you can cause permanent damage to the
breast pump.
• Do not attempt to remove the breast shield from your breast while pumping. Turn the breast pump
off and break the seal between your breast and breast shield with your finger, then remove breast
shield from your breast.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal between the breast
and the breast shield with your finger and remove the breast shield from your breast.
• Contact your health care professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal
or no milk or if expression is painful.
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a breast pump should
not cause pain. For assistance with correct breast shield sizing and comfort please visit
MedelaBreastShields.com (U.S.) or Medela.ca/BreastShields (Canada) or see a lactation
consultant / breastfeeding specialist.
• Do not try to express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). The pain, along
with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output.
• Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping.
• Do not hold the pump kit by the bottle. This can lead to blockage of the milk ducts and
engorgement.
• Using a breast pump on an aircraft is not recommended. The cabin pressure may affect the
breast pump's performance.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breast pump, kit and breasts, and
avoid touching the inside of bottles or lids.
• Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use. This will help
remove breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
• Always inspect breast shields, connectors, membranes, bottles, lids, and tubing prior to use for
cleanliness. Contact Medela Customer Service if cleaning does not resolve the issue.
• Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning your breast pump and parts.
CAUTION
Can lead to minor injury.
