CALYPSO
ASSEMBLING THE PUMPSET
1) Attach the white lip valve,
by holding it on its side, to the
base of the breast shell.
NB please do not use a cleaning
brush on the lip valves
2) Take the breast shell and
screw it onto the bottle.
3) Place the flexible membrane
pot, smooth side out, in the top
of the breast shell and press
down firmly.
4) Line up the mark on the lid
with the mark on the breast
shell and gently turn the lid half
a centimetre to close.
5) Double Pumping - attach
two tubes to the connector.
Single Pumping - attach one
tube to the connector and
ensure the other stopper is
closed.
6) Insert the tube connector
into the pump and you are now
ready to start expressing.

OPERATING THE CALYPSO BREASTPUMP
IMPORTANT - vary the cycles and vacuum
levels to maintain the milk flow and feel
comfortable, as this mimics the natural
sucking rhythm of the baby.
ARDO is WHO Code compliant
1) Connect the pumpset/s and the power
adapter to the pump.
2) Switch on the pump by pressing the on/off
switch. The green LED light will come on. The
vacuum & cycles are set at the lowest intensity.
3) Stimulation mode - a baby suckles with rapid
sucking motions and low suction and this causes
the milk to release by stimulating ‘let down’.
This is replicated by starting with a higher
cycle level and a weaker vacuum. When using
stimulation mode choose the levels of vacuum
and cycle which suit you.
If you need any further help please refer to the Calypso user manual.
4) Pumping mode - once ‘let down’ occurs,
reduce the cycles and increase the vacuum until
you find the most comfortable level for you. If
your milk flow stops we suggest you turn the
pump off, massage your breast and restart again
in the stimulation mode (3).
