3. Intended use
Indication/clinical benefits
The Beurer BY 15 breast pump set allows nursing women to express their breast milk easily and in the
comfort of their own homes. If not enough breast milk is expressed from women who have recently given
birth, this can lead to the painful build-up of milk, which in the worst-case scenario could cause inflam-
mation of the nipples (mastitis). This build-up of milk can be prevented through targeted expressing of
breast milk using the breast pump.
In addition, breast pumps help to alleviate cracked or sore nipples. You can use the integrated stimulation
function to draw out flat or inverted nipples, making it easier to then express the breast milk.
Contraindications
For hygiene reasons, the breast pump may only be used on one person. Do not share the breast pump
with other nursing women. The breast pump must only be used on the female breast. Never use the
breast pump if feeling drowsy or while sleeping. This device must not be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental skills or alack of experience or knowledge.
Target group:
The breast pump must be used exclusively for expressing breast milk from nursing women. Do not use
the breast pump on animals! The breast pump is only intended for domestic/private use, not for com-

13
mercial use. This device may only be used for the purpose for which it is designed and in the manner
specified in the instructions for use. Any form of improper use can be dangerous.

silicone membrane by pressing the silicone membrane
fi r m ly onto the pump attachment until it clicks into
place.

To sterilise the breast pump correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the pump attachment from the bottle.
2. Remove the silicone membrane and silicone valve from the pump attachment.
3. Sterilise the bottle and pump attachment (with silicone membrane and silicone valve) for five minutes
in boiling water or using asteam steriliser. Do not use the breast pump until all individual parts are dry.
Do not use any antibacterial cleaning products, as these may damage the plastic on the breast pump.
7. Usage
7.1 Tips to ensure abetter milk flow
• Choose alocation to use the pump where you can relax especially well.
• Choose atime to use the pump when you can relax especially well.
• Having your child nearby or looking at apicture of your child can have apositive eect on the milk flow.
• If feeding your child using one breast, use the breast pump on the other breast at the same time.
• Warmth and relaxation encourage milk flow. Use the breast pump after having ashower or bath.
• If your breasts are swollen or sore, place awarm towel on them for afew minutes. This will improve the
milk flow.
• If the milk does not start to flow from your breasts immediately, try to relax and then try again afew min-
utes later.
• If the breast pump still does not express any milk from your breasts after five minutes, stop using it and
try again later.
• If you experience any sharp pains when using the breast pump, consult adoctor.

16
7.2 Operating the breast pump
1. Before using the breast pump, wash your hands and breasts thor-
oughly.
2. Sit with your upper body lent forwards slightly. You can support
your back better by using apillow.
3. Then place the breast shield with silicone cushion gently on the
breast. Make sure that the nipple is completely enclosed and there
are no air pockets. To ensure proper function, the breast shield
must be drawn firmly onto the breast. Use the manual pump as
shown in the image.
4. You can vary the pump intensity by selecting between the MIN/
MAX markings that can be seen.
It is recommended that you start in the MIN position.
7.3 Storing the breast milk
Expressed milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer for acertain period of time.
• When storing breast milk, ensure that the breast pump and the bottles are disinfected before use. Only
store breast milk in disinfected containers.
• If you wish to store breast milk, you should place it in the fridge or freezer immediately after expressing.
Do not leave breast milk out at room temperature.
• If storing breast milk in the freezer, it is recommended that you mark the bottle with the date of expressing.
WARNING
Be sure to observe the storage periods in the following table:

7.4 Feeding breast milk to the baby
Note
You can use the supplied bottle with the silicone teat when feeding the breast milk to your baby. Alter-
natively, you can also express the breast milk with an NUK or Avent bottle and then feed it to your baby.
(Corresponding NUK/Avent adapter included in delivery).
• Prior to feeding, ensure the bottle has been disinfected before filling it with the breast milk that has been
stored.
• To defrost frozen breast milk, store it overnight in the fridge, so as to retain the nutrients. Once the breast
milk is defrosted, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Breast milk should only be defrosted in warm
water in especially urgent cases.
• If the breast milk smells unpleasant, it should be disposed of immediately.
• Never heat up breast milk in the microwave as it may be heated unevenly and could burn your child when
they drink it.
• If heating up the breast milk, check its temperature before feeding it to your baby.

10. What if there are problems?
Problem Potential solutions
There is no suction from the breast pump.

on the breast.
No breast milk is being expressed.
• Ensure that there is no residual milk in the silicone valve
obstructing the milk flow.

pump more and more, you will find it easier to express
breast milk.
• Set the suction level to MIN.
• Consult your doctor.
The breast milk is leaking out underneath the
silicone cushion.
• Remove the silicone cushion and re-attach it. Ensure
the silicone cushion is correctly positioned and firmly
secured to the pump attachment.
• Lean your upper body forwards slightly.

Problem Potential solutions
One of the breast pump components has be-
come altered or damaged.
• Do not use any corrosive, gaseous cleaning agents or
solvents.
