The intended use and indications of breast pumps
Breast pumps are intended to be used by lactating women in the hospital or home
environment for expressing breast milk. Breast pumps are indicated to alleviate
the symptoms of engorgement by expressing milk. In case of mastitis breast pumps
support the healing process by removing breast milk from the affected breast. Breast
pumps are indicated to relieve sore and cracked nipples and to bring out
at or inverted nipples. Also breast pumps enable mothers to provide breast milk
for babies who cannot feed directly at the breast for a variety of reasons such
as latch-on problems, cleft palate or premature babies.
Intended patient population/user
Adolescent paediatric or adult lactating women. Many women nd it convenient,
or even necessary, to use a breast pump to express and store their breast milk once
they have returned to work, are travelling or are otherwise separated from their baby.
Women are often delighted to learn that a breast pump can be used as a supplement
to breastfeeding and that some pumps are designed to mimic the suckling of a
nursing baby.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications for the Mini Electric breast pump.
