The intended use and indications of breastpumps
Breastpumps are intended to be used by lactating women in the hospital or home
environment for expressing breastmilk. Breastpumps are indicated to alleviate the
symptoms of engorgement by expressing milk. In case of mastitis breastpumps
support the healing process by removing breastmilk from the affected breast.
Breastpumps are indicated to relieve sore and cracked nipples and to bring out
at or inverted nipples. Also breastpumps enable mothers to provide breastmilk 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 breastpump to express and store their breastmilk once
they have returned to work, are travelling or are otherwise separated from their baby.
Women are often delighted to learn that a breastpump 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 Freestyle breastpump.
