6.3 Settings and Modes
The cycle level refers to the number of full pumping motions the device
will complete per minute; this is measure in Cycles Per Minute (CPM).
The Cycles Per Minute change as the suction strength is increased.
Suction Settings
The suction level on your breast pump refers to the suction strength;
this is measured in mm-Hg. When you are using your Motif Medical®
Twist, you will usually find that expressing is most effective on the
highest suction level that you are comfortable with.
However, it’s important not to set section level so high that it makes
you uncomfortable, as the resulting pain will hinder your milk flow.
Massage Modes
Suction pattern with fast cycles and low vacuum to help with Letdown and
to start the flow of milk. The Massage Mode on the Motif Twist is indicated
by the Dashed Line.
Expression Modes
Suction pattern with slower cycles and higher vacuum to express milk
gently and efficiently. The Expression Mode on the Motif Twist is indicated
by the Solid Line.

Understanding size
Pumping should not hurt. This guide is a starting point to help determine
your optimal breast shield size based on your nipple diameter.

tape measure the diameter
of your nipple at the base
(across middle) in millimeters
(mm).
NIPPLE BASE
MEASURE
AREOLA
NIPPLE
*1 cm = 10 mm
Do not include the areola.

diameter, the recommended
breast shield size is 30 mm.
