Assembling the Pumpset
1) Clean components
before use (excluding
lid & tubing) and ensure
all parts are FULLY DRY
before assembly.
NB see important notes
below about the lip valve.
2) Take the breast shell
and screw it onto the
bottle.
3) Place the exible
membrane pot, smooth
side out, in the top of the
breast shell and press
down rmly.
4) Press the green top
on the breast shell and
attach the tubing onto
the back of the lid.

5) Line up the central
mark on the green top
with the mark on the
breast shell , and gently
turn the top to the right.
6) Double Pumping -
attach two tubes to the
connector.
Single Pumping -
attach one tube to the
connector and ensure
the other stopper is
closed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Lip Valve - Attach and remove this part carefully
from the breast shell as indicated. DO NOT use
a cleaning brush to clean this valve, just rinse
before sterilising. If the valve is damaged the
breast pump will not work. Spare valve(s) are
included with the pumpset.

Operating the Calypso Breastpump
1) Connect the power adapter
to the back of the pump and
the pumpset/s to the front of
the pump unit.
2) Put the breastshell/s to the
breast. Switch on the pump
by pressing the on/o switch.
The green LED light will come
on. The vacuum & cycles are
set at the lowest level.
To get the milk to start to ow
set the cycles high
and the vacuum low
Once the milk starts to ow
set the vacuum higher
and the cycles lower
Pumping Poem

3) Cycles is stimulation mode
- Brief massaging before
expressing will encourage
milk ow and stimulate the
milk ejection reex (let down).
Setting the cycles high and
the vacuum low will replicate
the rapid sucking and low
suction the baby does when
feeding.
4) Vacuum is expressing
mode - ONLY when ‘let down’
occurs and milk is released
do you increase the vacuum
and reduce the cycles. Find
the most comfortable level for
you. If your milk ow stops we
suggest you turn the pump
o, massage your breast
and restart again in the
stimulation mode (3).
IMPORTANT - vary
the cycles and
vacuum levels to
maintain the milk ow
and comfort, as this
mimics the natural
sucking rhythm of
the baby.
