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 Ameda 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 Ameda 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. Please check www.ameda.com for up-to-date available times.

• Remove AC power adapter from power source and remove batteries before
wiping outside of pump base clean with a damp cloth.
• Keep away from dust, lint and direct sunlight, as damage may occur to breast
pump where speed and suction may be reduced.
• DO NOT attempt to remove the breast flange from your breast while pumping.
Turn the breast pump off and with your finger, break the seal between your
breast and breast flange, then remove breast flange from your breast.
• ALWAYS place pump on a horizontal flat surface when using product.

5. SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 Before First Use: Cleaning The HygieniKit
Before first use, unless otherwise directed by your
healthcare provider, prepare the product for use as follows:
1. POP OFF the adapter cap from the flange.
2. SET ASIDE adapter cap, tubing and tubing
adapter— you do not need to take these apart from
each other. These 3 parts DO NOT need to be
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, flange, valve and milk storage
bottles, including locking ring and locking disc, since these are the parts that can
touch the breast milk once you begin pumping.
ALWAYS wash hands well with soap and water.
SANITIZE by Boiling
IMPORTANT: Set aside tubing, adapter cap and tubing adapter. These
parts DO NOT need to be washed. DO NOT allow boiling parts to
contact bottom of pot. It may cause damage to parts.
WARNING: DO NOT leave boiling parts unattended. Remove parts
carefully from boiling water to avoid burning. Boiled water and steam
from boiled water can cause severe skin burns, so use caution when boiling
parts in water and removing parts from boiling water.
SANITIZE in Microwave: Follow steam bag manufacturers' instructions.
IMPORTANT: Set aside tubing, adapter cap and tubing adapter. These
parts DO NOT need to be washed.
• Properly clean pump parts first or the milk residuals will be "cooked" onto the
parts and provide a medium for bacterial growth.
• Please check pump kit parts for cracks, chips, tears or deformation before and
after sanitization process.
WARNING: Please use precaution. The major risk with steam bags is
scalding so moms and caregivers should be very careful when they take
the bag out of the microwave.

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.
FLANGE TOO SMALL
During pumping, some or all
of your nipple rubs against
the sides of the breast flange
tunnel.
FLANGE 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.
