1. General Description
Medela’s Lactina® Select breastpump has been specially developed
to meet the most stringent demands where hygiene and mobility are
concerned. The operating principle of the Medela Lactina is to simulate
the natural, physiological conditions encountered in breastfeeding.
The pump motor and the suction source are completely separate. All
components which can come into contact with the milk are part of the
accessories and can be very easily disconnected from the drive unit for
cleaning or sterilization. The accessory kit can also be used separately
as a manual pump.
Lactina Select includes the following general specifications:
– with variable vacuum.
– with variable speed, i.e. the number of suction cycles per minute
can be regulated.
– powered by regular electric outlet (120 VAC) or by using the
optional Medela Power Pack that provides 12 VDC with its
rechargeable battery or the vechicle lighter adapter.
The Lactina breastpump is for indoor use only.
Disposal
This breastpump is made of technical plastics and metals which
cannot be separated. It has to be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.

Uses
•To initiate and maintain a milk supply as well as collect breastmilk at
work or during other absences from the baby.
•To initiate and maintain a milk supply if direct breastfeeding is not pos-
sible.
•To relieve engorgement. Single pumping with simultaneous massage is
helpful to relieve engorgement.
Cleaning and Sterilization
Unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.
Hygiene
Wash hands before touching breasts or containers,
and avoid touching the inside of containers or lids.
Preparation
Follow these cleaning instructions unless you are told otherwise by your
healthcare professional. Prior to cleaning, take apart all parts of your
breastpumpaccessorykit.Beespeciallysuretoremovetheyellowvalve
from the breastshield and separate the white membrane from the valve
prior to cleaning.
Prior To First Use
The Lactina®sanitizedorsterilizedkitversionsdonotrequirewashing
before first use.
To Sterilize in the Hospital:
All disassembled parts can be autoclaved to a maximum of 272° F for 3
minutes at 29 PSIG or 250° F for 15-20 minutes at 15 PSIG.
To avoid damage during and immediately after sterilization:
•Sterilize parts without applying external pressure to them.
•Allow parts to cool before applying external pressure.
If gas sterilization is used, residual testing is recommended to determine
the proper length of aeration.
This product’s kit is a single-user item unless properly sterilized
between users. Use by more than one user without adequate
sterilization may pose a health risk and voids the warranty .
IMPORTANT

11
To Sanitize at Home:
Disassemble and sanitize by boiling for 10 minutes.
After each use:
•Disassemble and wash all parts that come in contact with the breast
and milk in warm soapy water.
•Rinse in clear water.
•Air-dry on clean towel and cover parts when not in use.
All parts may also be washed in top rack of dishwasher.
For Quicker Cleaning:
Medela offers Quick Clean™Micro-Steam™bags for daily kit
disinfection.
Tubing Care:
Inspect tubing after each pumping session for condensation
and/or or milk.
If condensation appears in tubing:
To eliminate condensation after you have completed pumping, continue
running the pump with the tubing(s) attached for another 1-2 minutes
or until dry, while you attend to storing your pumped breastmilk.
If milk appears in tubing:
1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
2. Remove and disassemble the tubing and kit parts. Wash in soapy
water then rinse in cold clear water.
3. Shake water droplets out and hang to air-dry. For faster drying,
attach tubings to pump and run pump 1-2 minutes or until dry, or
pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through the tubings to dry.
4. Make sure that valve membranes are undamaged and clean.
Replace if necessary.
5. Use a damp cloth to wipe the pump. Do not immerse the pump
in water.
6. When components are completely dry, reassemble breastpump
and kit.

4. Precautionary Measures / Troubleshooting
The breastpump should only be used in a dust-free environment. Do
not use or set the pump where it is exposed to direct sunlight or any
other source of heat.
What to do when...
– the pump does not run when it is switched on:
Check whether the Lactina®breastpump is properly connected to
the electric supply. Check the fuse. Besurethatthepumpis
plugged in.
– pump action is too weak:
Suction strength can be adjusted using the vacuum regulator.
Maximum suction is achieved by setting the pointer on the
 regulatorringtoMAX.Ifsuctionstrengthisstillinadequateatthis
setting, please check whether:
 •thevacuumregulatorringhasbeenturnedbeyondthestop,has
been displaced, is no longer a close fit or is dirty on the inside.
 •therubbersealofthepistonisseatingcorrectlyandisingood
condition.
 •thevalvehasbeencorrectlyfittedtothebreastshield.Isthevalve
membrane clean and closing properly when in resting position?
 •thecylinderhasbeenscrewedtightlyintothecylinderholder(orinto
the breastshield in the case of manual operation).
 •thereisnoleakinthetubeconnectionbetweencylinderholderand
breastshield.
 •thebreastshieldfitscloselytothebreast.
– the vacuum cannot be regulated:
The two holes in the cylinder under the vacuum regulator ring may
be blocked with dirt. Clean them using a brush and soapy water.
The points listed above should also be checked.
– the vacuum is not released at the end of the suction stroke:
The ventilation hole at the bottom of the cylinder may be blocked
with dirt; or the piston has not been drawn right to the end during
manual operation.
– the piston does not return after the suction phase:
Check whether the suction circuit is blocked or whether there is a
kink in the tubing.

5. Adjusting Vacuum
The Lactina®Select features a knob to adjust the pumping speed.
Choose a fast pumping rhythm to start your milk flowing (setting 7
corresponds to highest speed level). Once your milk starts to flow or
you sense milk ejection you may adjust the rhythm by decreasing speed
slightly (e.g. setting 4).
To adjust vacuum set the vacuum regulator
to minimum and start pumping. Adjust
the vacuum to your Maximum Comfort
Vacuum™. This is the highest vacuum you
can use and still feel comfortable (different
for every mother). To find your Maximum
Comfort Vacuum increase vacuum until
pumping feels slightly uncomfortable (not
painful), then decrease.
6. Service Information
Important:
Before starting the procedure described below, do not forget to
switch off the pump and to disconnect the power cord from the
main supply!
The design of your Medela Lactina breastpump means that routine
servicing is not normally uneccessary. All bearings are maintenance-free
and, when used as directed (i.e. only in a dust-free environment and
in the normal operating position), there is almost no dirt entering the
drive unit. Cleaning the outside of the pump is the only care needed,
particularly around the pivot arm and the guide slot for the cylinder
holder.
13

To ensure that the breastpump will provide trouble-free operation for
years to come, it should be examined periodically according to the
following checklist.
Checklist:
1.The specification of the fuse employed as well as the power supply
to which the pump is connected must match the data on the pump
specification plate.
2.Fit the accessories to the breastpump as described in the
instructions for use (included with the accessory kit). The
breastshield should then be connected to a vacuum gauge.
3.Connect the power cord to the main supply and switch on the unit.
The pivot arm must operate with a pumping motion.
4.The following values must be attained:
Suction rate: Lactina Select approx. 40–60 cycles/min.,
mains
approx. 50 cycles/min.,
battery
Suction strength at MAX setting:
6. Safety Tests
The following safety tests should be performed yearly:
1. Visual check
The breastpump should be examined for damage and dirt on the inside
and outside and repaired or cleaned if necessary.
2. Functional test
Every function of the breastpump must be controlled according to the
Instructions for Use and Service Instructions.
