Dual pumping
with one hand
gives you a
free hand for
other things.
Using the Ameda HygieniKit Milk Collection System
ALWAYS WASH HANDS WELL WITH SOAP AND WATER BEFORE PUMPING.
Attaching to Any Ameda Electric Breast Pump
The HygieniKit may be used to single or dual pump with any Ameda electric breast pump.
Simply insert the tubing adapter into the tubing adapter port.
Single and Dual Pumping
Putting Ameda HygieniKit to the Breast
To begin pumping:
• Center the nipple in the breast flange.
• Fill the breast flange with the breast to create an air seal.
• Angle breast flange down a bit so milk flows into bottle.
Checking Flange Fit
Some Ameda HygieniKits include one size breast flange, with an opening of 25mm. Other
Ameda kits include three flanges sizes (25, 28.5, and 30.5mm). Many mothers do well with
the 25mm standard size breast flange, but you may need a larger flange (30.5mm) or insert
(28.5mm) if pumping is uncomfortable or unproductive, even on low suction. If the standard
flange is too tight, a larger flange or insert may feel better and pump more milk. Flange
fit can change as the breast changes after birth and with pumping. Use the size that feels
best and gives the best results. If the 30.5mm size is not large enough, contact your Ameda
retailer for the Ameda Custom Breast Flanges 32.5/36mm.
4
ENGLISH
To dual pump:
Both tubes should be
attached to tubing adapter.
To single pump:
Remove one tube and
close tubing adapter.

To check your flange fit, watch your nipple during pumping.
If your kit includes larger flanges, to use them:
• Replace standard flange with larger flange
• Move valve to larger flange
• See instructions to assemble other parts
• Try the larger flange with and without the insert on each breast until you find the size
that feels better and/or pumps more milk
If your kit does not include larger flanges, contact your Ameda retailer for Custom Breast
Flanges 28.5/30.5mm (Ameda Stock No. 17148PM) or Custom Breast Flanges 32.5/36mm
(Ameda Stock No. 17358M).

Pumping Made Simple
Does a pump need to be set at the strongest suction to get more milk? No. Set your pump
at the highest suction that feels good…and no higher.
Milk Release or ‘Let-Down’:
Pumping milk is not like sucking liquid through a straw. With a straw, the stronger you suck,
the more liquid you get. When pumping, the milk comes only when a milk release (otherwise
known as a “let-down”) happens. Without a milk release, most milk stays in the breast.
What is a milk release?
• Hormones cause muscles in the breast to squeeze and milk ducts to widen, pushing
the milk out.
• Some mothers feel tingling. Others feel nothing.
• A milk release can happen with a touch at the breast, hearing a baby cry, or even by
thinking about your baby. Feeling your baby’s soft, warm skin against yours can cause
a milk release.
• Feelings of stress, anger, or upset can block milk release.
5
ENGLISH
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.
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.

Using Your Senses:
While breastfeeding, most mothers have three or four milk releases without knowing it. To
get more milk with your pump, you need more milk releases. But, you may need some help
at first until your body learns to respond to your pump like a baby.
To trigger more milk releases, use your senses. One or two senses may work better than the
others, so try them all to find out which work best for you.
• Mind/Feelings:Close your eyes, relax, and imagine your baby breastfeeding. Think about
how much you love your baby.
• Sight:Look at your baby or your baby’s photo.
• Hearing: Listen to a tape of your baby cooing or crying. If you’re away, call and check
on your baby. Or, call someone you love to relax and distract you.
• Smell:Smell your baby’s blanket or clothing.
• Touch:Apply a warm cloth or gently massage your breasts.
• Taste:Sip your favorite warm, non-alcoholic drink to relax you.
Using Pump Controls:
Check to see if your pump has both SUCTION/VACUUM and CYCLE controls. If so, use your
senses as you adjust the controls during pumping to get more milk faster. Watch your milk
flow as you pump. Use it as your guide.
1. Set SUCTION/VACUUM to the highest setting that feels good.
2. Set CYCLE on the fastest setting.
3. When milk flows, turn CYCLE down close to the slowest setting.
4. When the milk flow slows to a trickle, return to fast CYCLE and use your senses.
5. Repeat, using fast CYCLE to trigger milk releases and slow cycles to drain.
Pumping Length:
Talk to your healthcare provider about how long you should pump. In most cases,
10 to 15 minutes per breast is long enough.
• If single pumping, 20 to 30 minutes total.
• If dual pumping, 10 to 15 minutes total.
Removing the Ameda HygieniKit from Breast
After pumping:
• Turn off pump.
• Insert a finger into breast flange(s) to break suction.
• Remove Ameda kit from breast(s).
Troubleshooting
If milk drips too slowly into bottle:
• If pump has a CYCLE control, set pump to faster CYCLE setting.
• Replace silicone diaphragm(s) and valve(s).
If pumping causes discomfort:
• Set pump to lower SUCTION/VACUUM setting.
• Check pump fit. Larger flanges may be needed.
6
ENGLISH

If suction is low:
• Check that valve(s) is/are pushed onto breast flange(s).
• Check valve(s) for tears or stretches. Replace if needed.
• If single pumping, check tubing adapter to be sure side not in use is closed.
• Check tubing adapter for cracks. If seen, replace.
• Set pump to higher SUCTION/VACUUM setting.
The valves are vital for proper suction. To work well, they must be intact and look closed
when pump is not in use.
To prolong valve life:
• When removing from breast flange, pull gently from thick sides, not thin edge.
• Do not stick anything into valves during cleaning. Just swish them around in warm, soapy
water, rinse well in warm water, and air dry.
Converting to an Ameda One-Hand Manual Breast Pump
ALWAYS WASH HANDS WELL WITH SOAP AND WATER BEFORE PUMPING.
Assembly
Use this section if your One-Hand handle assembly is part of an Ameda HygieniKit or has
been purchased separately.
1. Unsnap and remove adapter cap.
2. Remove diaphragm from upper chamber of breast flange.
Remove plastic covering on handle assembly.
7
ENGLISH
3. Push piston into
upper chamber
of flange.
5. Screw flange
onto bottle.
Handle is on
correctly if top
of handle is a
straight line.
4. Pull handle down
and snap handle
collar around
bottom of flange.
(See shaded area
in diagram above.)

Using the One-Hand Manual Breast Pump
Pumping Made Simple
Use both fast and slow squeezes. Watch your milk flow as you pump. Use it as your guide.
1. Use a few minutes of fast, light squeezes to trigger milk flow.
2. When milk flows, use slower, stronger squeezes. (Never so hard that it hurts.)
3. For easier pumping, while milk is flowing “squeeze and hold.”
4. When milk flow slows, use faster squeezes again.
5. When milk flows again, use slower, stronger squeezes.
6. Repeat fast then slow squeezes to pump more milk faster.
7. Change breasts every 5-7 minutes for a total of 20 to 30 minutes.
Pumping with fast and slow squeezes is like a baby at the breast. Baby starts fast, then slow,
and repeats. This two-speed action may help you pump more milk faster.
Removing Ameda One-Hand Breast Pump from Breast
After pumping:
• Insert a finger into breast flange to break suction.
• Remove One-Hand Breast Pump from breast.
Troubleshooting
If milk drips into bottle too slowly:
• And you’re using “squeeze and hold,” release the handle.
• If not using “squeeze and hold”, release handle more often.
If pumping causes discomfort:
• Use gentler handle squeezes.
• Check flange fit. A larger flange may be needed.
If suction is low:
• Check that valve is on fully.
• Check valve for tears or stretches. Replace if needed.
• Remove piston seal, stretch out on flat surface, and replace on piston.
The valves are vital for proper suction. To work well, they must be intact and look closed
when pump is not in use.
To prolong valve life:
• When removing from breast flange, pull gently from thick sides, not thin edge.
• Do not stick anything into valves during cleaning. Just swish them around in warm,
soapy water, rinse well in warm water, and air dry.

Milk Storage and Handling
Containers
– ALWAYS DATE CONTAINERS –
Human milk should be stored in a dated, clean, sealed container. Glass or hard plastic
containers can be used.
Thawing/Warming Milk
Thaw frozen milk in refrigerator. Or, thaw or warm milk by placing container in cool then
warm water.
– Do Not Microwave Human Milk –
Microwaving changes the milk. It also creates hot spots in the milk that can burn the baby.
Flexishield Areola Stimulator
The Flexishield Areola Stimulator:
• Is a flexible silicone breast flange insert.
• Gives a soft feel against the skin while pumping.
• Compresses the breast while pumping to help trigger milk release.
• Is optional with the Ameda One-Hand Breast Pump and the Ameda HygieniKits.
• Can be bought separately.
• Narrows the breast flange, so works best with mothers with small nipples.
• Fits only the standard 25mm breast flange (see “Checking Flange Fit”).
