1. Important Safeguards
When using electrical devices, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:
• Breastpump kits are a personal care item intended for use by a single user only and
should not be shared between users.
• Inspect the breastpump kit components prior to each use.
o Do not use the components if they are damaged.
o Do not use the components if dirt, mold or other contamination is visible.
• Inspect all appropriate pump components before each use.
• Clean and sanitize all parts that come in contact with your breast and breastmilk prior
to first use. Sterile kits are ready to use and do not require washing prior to first use.
• Do not modify any breastpump kit components.
• Wash all parts that come in contact with your breast and breastmilk after every use.
• Do NOT continue pumping for more than 2 consecutive pumping sessions if no
results are achieved.
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
• If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
• If breastmilk backup occurs, you must clean tubing before your next pumping
session.
• If problems or pain occur, consult your lactation consultant or physician.
CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:
• Pump only with the breastpump in an upright position.
• Do NOT shorten tubing between breastshield and pump.
• Make sure the voltage of the device is compatible with the power source.
• Plug the power cord into the breastpump first and then into the wall socket.
• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners/detergents when cleaning breastpump or
breastpump parts.
• Never put breastpump motor in water or a sterilizer, as you can cause permanent
damage to the breastpump.
• Do not attempt to remove the breastshield from your breast while pumping. Turn the
breastpump off and break the seal between your breast and breastshield with your
finger, then remove breastshield from your breast.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal
between the breast and the breastshield with your finger and remove the
breastshield from your breast.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• Do not use the breastpump kit with a non-compatible breastpump.
• Do not use the breastpump kit for any other purpose than expressing breastmilk.
