•Pumping can induce labour. Do not pump until after giving birth. If you become pregnant
while breastfeeding or breast pumping, consult with a licensed healthcare professional
before continuing.
•If infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping
breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through
your breast milk.
•Wash all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk after every use.
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children up to 14 years) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

CAUTION
To avoid health risks and reduce the risk of injury:
•This is a single-user product. Use by more than one person may present a health risk and
voids the warranty.

device.
•Never use a damaged device. Replace defective or worn parts.
•Use the device only for its intended purpose as described in these instruction for use.
•Do not use the device while sleeping or overly drowsy.
•If tubing becomes mouldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
•Do not microwave or boil breast milk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to baby’s
mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving (Microwaving can also
change the composition of breast milk).
•Clean and sanitise all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk prior to
first use.
•Only use Medela recommended parts with the device.
•If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal between the
breast and the breast shield with your finger and remove the breast shield from your
breast.

pain. If you are unsure about correct breast shield sizing please visit www.medela.com or
see a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a proper fit.

•Plastic bottles and parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.

knocked over).
•Do not use the breast milk from bottles or components that show signs of damage.
