3. Purpose
The manual breast pump mamivac®EASY is used in order to genty and softly express
and collect breast milk.
3.1 Indication
Breastfeeding problems that require the use of a breast pump may be: mastitis (in-
flammation of mammary glands), aching or sore mamillae (nipples), anatomic variants
of the mamillae which make feeding the infant difficult (flat or inverted nipples), insuf-
ficient or excessive milk production, premature delivery, metabolic disorders of the
infant, anatomic disorder in the face of the infant, poorly sucking infant, temporary
illness of the mother (medication intake).
3.2 Contraindication
The silicone soft insert is in direct contact with your skin. In case of a known silicone
allergy, do not use the soft insert. In individual cases, the skin may be irritated result-
ing in redness or red spots. Taking medication in general may affect breastfeeding
an infant. The patient information leaflets of the pharmaceutical companies contain
appropriate information.
mamivac®EASY may not be used:
• to suction other body fluids, such as blood, secretions or mucus
• to suction outside the medical field, such as corrosive, flammable or
explosive liquids
• on other living beings.
4. General notes
• Prior to expressing, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and wipe your breast
with a damp cloth. Do not use soap or alcohol as detergent to avoid dry, soar or
cracked nipples.
• Prepare yourself for the expressing with ease. Take a comfortable and relaxed seat.
Gently press the breast shield over the nipple for a tight contact. Start to express
milk.
• The pump has a stimulation mode to trigger the let-down reflex. You can also use
your free hand for an additional breast massage.
• Express from both breasts alternately, unless instructed otherwise by the doctor.
Since expressing times strongly depend on the individual mother, you are asked to
contact your midwife or lactation consultant.

4.1 Functioning of the manual breast pump
The stimulation phase (1):
To trigger the let-down reflex, turn the vacuum control to the very left. Press
the pump handle dynamically downwards several times. This imitates the baby’s natu-
ral sucking behaviour. Keep the pump handle pressed for 3-4 seconds, so
that the milk starts to flow into the bottle.
The expressing phase (2):
When the milk is flowing, turn the vacuum control to the right. You can express now
by pressing the pump handle downwards and keeping the handle pressed until the
vacuum has been released.
If the milk does not start to flow right away, relax and try again – even at a later point
in time.
If expressing causes pain, do not use the pump anymore! Please contact your doctor
or your midwife/lactation consultant. Make sure not to express too much milk into the
bottle. Keep the pump in an upright position.
5. Hygiene and cleaning
Before you use the breast pump for the first time, boil components b) to h) in boiling
water for at least 15 min. or use a steam disinfection device, such as a steriliser for
instance. Please observe the manufacturer’s corresponding notes.
Do not use a microwave oven.
• Do not use chemical disinfection baths, solvents or abrasives.
• All components b) to h) can be cleaned with commercial washing-up liquids by
hand or in the dish washer.
14

• Prior to using the pump the next time, clean the parts which came into contact
with milk, and check them for proper functioning and condition.
• After cleaning, rinse components b) to h) thoroughly with lukewarm water to
remove residues of the washing-up liquid, especially on those components which
come into direct contact with breast milk. You might use a brush to clean areas
which are difficult to reach.
• Assemble the manual breast pump according to the drawing in »Assembling and
components«.
• In case the piston is sticky, apply a drop of baby oil to the piston seal ring (i).
6. Practical tips
Wrap the cleaned and dry parts in a clean cloth and store them in a container when
not in use.
6.1 Storing breast milk
Breast milk can be stored as follows:
• Freshly expressed at room temperature (16-29°C) 3-4 hours
• In the rear of the fridge (below 4°C) 3 days
• In the freezer (-18°C) 6 months
Fill the used bottles or containers to two thirds only and write down the fill date.
Instead of a bottle, you can also use our specially designed mamivac®breast milk
freezer bags [REF 282100]. Do not defrost frozen breast milk in the microwave,
but at room temperature. Place the bottle or bag in warm water (37°C) as required.
After defrosting, gently shake the container or bag to mix the milk.
6.2 Accessories
• Soft insert REF 281215
• mamivac®breast milk freezer bags PU = 20 pcs. REF 282100
• Hygienic cover REF 49010147
