The intended use and indications of breast pumps
Breast pumps are intended to be used by lactating women in the hospital or home environ-
ment 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 flat 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 find 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 Swing Flex/Swing Maxi Flex breast pump.

• Step 2 (chapters 8.1, 8.2, 8.3):
• The product comes with two different
breast shield sizes 21mm and 24mm.
• Answer the following questions
to find out whether the available breast
shield sizes fit:
• Does your nipple rub the tunnel sides to
the point of causing discomfort?
• Do you see excessive areola being pulled
into the tunnel?
• Do you see any redness?
• Is your nipple or areola turning white?
• Do you feel unexpressed milk after breast
milk pumping?
If you answered “YES” to any of these
questions, consider trying a new size by
following the measuring instructions at
www.medela.com.
If you are still unsure that you selected the
right breast shield size, contact your
lactation consultant or breastfeeding
specialist.
See brochure “Choosing your Medela
breast shield size”.
• Step 3 (chapters 8.1, 8.2, 8.3):
Do not hold the pump set by the bottle.
This can lead to blockage of the milk
ducts and engorgement.
