Congratulations on joining the Ameda family!
We are excited to help you meet your breastfeeding goals along your breastfeeding
journey with your baby. With our Finesse™ breast pump and HygieniKit®Milk Collection
System, you can express and collect your breast milk safely and effectively.
The Ameda HygieniKit is a closed system that contains a diaphragm that keeps the air
from the pump and tubing separate from the pump parts that are exposed to your breast
milk, so your tubing stays dry. This diaphragm helps prevent milk backup into tubing.
If you have any questions regarding your Finesse™ breast pump or HygieniKit, we have a
certified customer service ParentCare team available to help you. Have your breast pump
and parts nearby when you call. ParentCare is available by phone during business hours
on weekdays at 1-866-992-6332(1-866-99-AMEDA). Please check www.ameda.com
for up-to-date available times.

Félicitations! Vous faites désormais partie de la famille Ameda!
Nous sommes ravis de pouvoir contribuer à ce que votre allaitement soit réussi et de
vous accompagner pendant que vous allaitez votre bébé. Grâce à votre tire-lait Finesse™
et au système de collecte de lait HygieniKitMD, vous pouvez pomper et recueillir le lait
maternel de manière sûre et efficace.
L’ensemble HygieniKit d’Ameda est un système clos qui comprend un diaphragme
empêchant l’air de la pompe et des tubes de venir au contact des pièces du tire-lait
exposées au lait maternel, de sorte que les tubes demeurent secs. Le diaphragme aide à
prévenir le reflux du lait dans les tubes.
Si vous avez des questions à propos du tire-lait Finesse™ et du système de collecte de lait
HygieniKit, les spécialistes certifiés de notre équipe de service à la clientèle ParentCare
sont disponibles pour vous aider. Avant de nous appeler, placez à portée de main votre
tire-lait et les accessoires. ParentCare est à votre écoute du lundi au vendredi, durant les

washed before first use or after each use— milk does
not come into direct contact with these parts.
Take apart the remaining parts, the diaphragm(s), flange(s),
valve(s) and milk storage bottles, including locking ring(s) and locking disc(s), since

BATTERIES
WARNING: DO NOT
install backwards,
charge, put in fire, or mix
with other battery types. May
explode or leak causing injury.
Replace all batteries at the
same time.
1. OPEN battery compartment on the bottom of the pump base.
2. INSERT six new AA batteries as shown.
6.2 Important to Know Before Breast Pumping
Learn how your breasts release milk and why Ameda's Custom
Control™mimics the way your baby breastfeeds.
Let-down & Milk Flow
When babies breastfeed, they latch on and start sucking quickly to help your body
release hormones that signal your breasts to release your milk. This is called let-
down. Once let-down occurs, your baby sucks longer and slower to help manage
the milk flow that is spraying into your baby’s mouth. With the Finesse™breast
pump, the separate dials allow you to mimic your baby’s comfortable sucking
pattern.
TIP - USE new premium batteries (such as Energizer, Duracell), insert
correctly as shown.

15
6.3 To Begin Pumping
1.
INSERT TUBING
adapter into pump
base, then turn
slightly to the right
while pushing in
firmly.
7.
TURN SUCTION
dial to left to turn
off.
8.
After pump is
off, if necessary,
INSERT a finger
between breast(s)
and breast flange(s)
to break suction.
2.
CENTER flange
on breast to create
seal.
3.
TURN SUCTION
dial to right to turn on.
Turn up to your highest
comfortable suction
level. If discomfort, turn
suction down.
4. 5.
TURN SPEED
dial all the way to
the right to highest
speed to start milk
flow.
Once milk flows,
TURN SPEED
dial to left to slow
pump speed to
help drain milk. Try
half way, adjust as
needed.
Once milk flow
slows, try for another
let-down. TURN
SPEED all the way
up, then slow speed
when milk is flowing.
Repeat as needed.
6.
For SINGLE
PUMPING:
Remove one
tube from the
tubing adapter
and close one
side.
For DOUBLE
PUMPING: Both
tubes should be
attached to the
tubing adapter.
a. b.

6.4 How to Fit Your Flange
Check breast flange fit, if pumping causes discomfort a larger or smaller breast
flange size may be needed.
6.5 Storing Pumped Milk in Bottles
Make sure to not overfill bottles. If you plan on freezing bottles, fill only up
to ¾ full, as milk expands with freezing. After milk has been pumped into
Ameda storage bottles, close by placing locking disc on
top of bottle (make sure circular raised middle part of disc
is facing up). Tighten locking ring onto bottle. Label bottle
with date and time that milk was pumped. Use storage chart
provided as a guideline.
TOO SMALL-
During pumping, some or all
of your nipple rubs against
the sides of the breast flange
tunnel.
TOO LARGE-
During pumping, more areola
is drawn into the breast flange
with your nipple. Your areola
may rub against the side of the
breast flange tunnel.
GOOD FIT-
During pumping, your nipple
moves freely in the breast
flange tunnel. You see
space around the nipple.
Not much areola is drawn
into the tunnel with the
nipple. Additional flange sizes sold separately.
