1. Introducing the AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
The AVENT ISIS Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump design.
Its silicone diaphragm provides 1 % reliable suction, while the let-
down massage cushion naturally imitates your baby’s suckling action
to provide fast milk flow – silently, comfortably and gently. The pump
is easy to assemble, discreet to use and all parts are dishwasher safe.
Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies
during the first year, combined with solid food after 6 months. Your
milk is specially adapted to your baby’s needs and contains antibodies
which help protect your baby against infection and allergies.
Your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump will help you breastfeed longer. You
can express and store your milk so that – whether you are out for
a few hours, taking a well deserved rest, or back at work – your baby
can still enjoy the benefits of your breast milk, even if you can’t be
there to give it yourself. As the pump is so silent and discreet you
can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at
your own convenience and maintain your milk supply.
Since the AVENT anti-colic teat is specially designed to mimic breast-
feeding, your baby will switch easily between breast and bottle. This
allows mothers to continue providing breast milk to baby even when
they return to work.

3. To clean and sterilise your pump
Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time
before use:
Separate all parts, then wash in the top shelf of the dishwasher or
in warm soapy water and rinse. Do not use antibacterial cleaners/
detergents. Sterilise in an AVENT Steam Steriliser (electric or
microwave), or by boiling for 1 minutes. If using
an AVENT Steam Steriliser, the pump will remain
sterile in the Steriliser for 3 hours provided the
lid is not removed.
4 . To keep your pump sterile and
compact for travel
After sterilising all parts, you can clip the cover (a) over
the funnel and let-down massage cushion and screw
the travel cover (n) onto the pump body (f) in place of
the VIA Adaptor (h).

5. Using your ISIS Breast Pump ith
the AVENT Feeding Bottle
Simply replace the AVENT VIA Cup and Adaptor with
the AVENT Feeding Bottle. To make the pump completely
stable insert the bottle into the funnel cover (a).
6. Ho to assemble your AVENT
ISIS Breast Pump
Separate all parts and ensure pump has been cleaned and sterilised
as in section 3:
1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Click the white star valve (g) into the
pump body (f) from underneath making sure the flat side of the
valve is downwards and the star side is facing up.
2) Place the pump body (f) onto the VIA Adaptor (h). Twist gently
clockwise until it catches. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
3) Place the assembled pump body and VIA Adaptor onto the VIA Cup (i).
Twist gently clockwise until it catches. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
4) Place the silicone diaphragm with stem (d) into the pump body (f).
Make sure it fits securely around the rim by pressing down with your
fingers to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled while wet).
5) Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the diaphragm stem
(d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks into place.
6) Carefully insert the let-down massage cushion (b) into the pump
funnel (f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of
the funnel. (This is easier if assembled while wet).
7) Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump
completely stable, insert the VIA cup into the VIA lid/stand (j).

4) Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing
after a bath or shower.
5) Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the
other, or continue expressing just after a feed.
6) Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help
stimulate your milk ducts.
Practice with your pump to find the best technique for you.
However, if the process becomes very painful, stop and consult
your breastfeeding adviser.
9. Ho to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
1) Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.
Gently squeeze a little milk from each nipple to ensure milk ducts
are not blocked.
2) Make sure you have sterilised and carefully assembled your pump
exactly as shown in sections 3 and 6.
3) Consult the ‘Hints to help you succeed’ section.
4) Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions
to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.
5) Press the funnel and let-down massage cushion of the pump firmly
against your breast, making sure that no air can escape – otherwise
there will be no suction.
6) As you gently push down on the pump handle, you will feel the
suction on your breast. You don’t need to depress the handle fully to
create a vacuum – only as much as is comfortable. Your milk will soon
start flowing even though you may not use all the suction the pump
can generate.
7) Begin by pumping 5-6 times rapidly to initiate let-down. Then, hold
the handle down for 2-3 seconds, and allow it to return to its resting
place. These 2-3 second cycles imitate your baby’s natural suckling
pattern and allow the milk to flow into the VIA Cup between strokes.
8) Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes. Don’t worry if
your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping.
7. When to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule
are well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless
told otherwise by your doctor or breastfeeding adviser.
2) The exceptions to the above are:
a) If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
b) If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express
a small amount of milk before or between feeds to ease the pain
and to help your baby latch on more easily.
c) If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your
milk until they are healed.
d) If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to
breastfeed when you are reunited, you should express your milk
6 to 8 times a day and once during the night to stimulate your
milk supply.
3) You will need to find the right times of the day for you to express
your milk, i.e.
a) Early in the morning when your breasts are full, just before or
after your baby’s first feed.
b) After a feed, if your baby has not emptied both breasts.
c) Between feeds, or on a break if you have returned to work.
8. Hints to help you succeed
Using a breast pump takes practice – you may need to make several
attempts before you succeed, but because the AVENT ISIS Breast
pump is so simple and natural to use, you will soon get used to
expressing your milk.
1) Choose a time when you’re not rushed and won’t be interrupted.
2) Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help
encourage ‘let-down’.
3) Placing a warm cloth on the breasts for a few minutes before you
start pumping can encourage milk flow and soothe painful breasts.

Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO
result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.
Please remember that, should the process become very painful or
uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your
doctor or breastfeeding adviser.
9) Whilst some women may prefer to use the pump without the let-
down massage cushion, extensive trials show that, in most cases,
the massaging effect of the petals flexing in and out around the
areola stimulates the let-down reflex and allows you to express
more milk more quickly. On average you will need to pump for
1 minutes to express 6 /12 ml or 2/4 ozs. However, this is
just a guide and varies from woman to woman.
When using the ISIS Breast Pump, do not overfill VIA cups or
feeding bottles, and keep the pump upright, otherwise it may leak
from below the pump body.
10. Ho to store your expressed breast milk
• Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately and can be stored
in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer
for up to 3 months.
• The VIA Lids and Feeding Adaptor are for
permanent use and must be sterilised before the
first and every use. The VIA Cups are sterile-packed
for immediate use. If used more than once,
sterilise before each subsequent use. Due to wear
and tear, we recommend using VIA Cups no more
than four times. Then dispose/recycle.
• Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored and fed to
your baby.
• If you are storing milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add
milk which has been expressed into a sterile container. Milk can only
be kept like this for a maximum of 24 hours (from first expression)
after which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use.
• NEVER refreeze breast milk.
• DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.
• VIA Cups are more flexible than standard feeding bottles – avoid
applying unnecessary pressure when lids are in place as this could
cause them to leak/spill.
Storing your milk in the fridge
If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 24 hours,
it can be stored in the fridge in an assembled VIA Feeding System
or standard AVENT Feeding Bottle. Assemble the teat, screw ring
and dome cap and attach onto the VIA Adaptor and Cup or the body
of the Feeding Bottle (see below).
Storing your milk in the freezer
To store in the freezer (for up to 3 months), use
a sterilised AVENT VIA Lid to seal the VIA Cup. You
can write the date and time of expression on the
Cups so that older milk can be used up first.
11. Feeding your baby expressed breast milk
To feed your baby, replace the VIA Lid with a sterilised
VIA Adaptor, locking ring, dome cap and AVENT teat.
Frozen breast milk should be defrosted overnight in
the refrigerator. However, in an emergency, it can be
defrosted in a jug of hot water. Once thawed use
within 24 hours.
Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any other bottle feed.
Stand the VIA Feeding System or Feeding Bottle in a bowl of hot
water, or alternatively, for a safe and fast way to warm feeds, use the
AVENT Express Bottle Warmer. IMPORTANT! Breast milk, formula milk
or solids will heat faster in AVENT VIA Cups than in standard feeding
bottles/containers. Always make sure you test the temperature of the
milk before giving to baby.
Never heat breast milk or formula in a microwave as this may
destroy valuable nutrients and antibodies. In addition, the uneven
heating may cause hot spots in the liquid which could cause burns
to the throat.

12. Choosing the right teat for your baby
AVENT clear silicone anti-colic teats can be used on both the AVENT
VIA Feeding System and AVENT Feeding Bottles. AVENT teats are
clearly numbered on the side to indicate flow rate.

rate, turn the AVENT VIA Feeding
System or Feeding Bottle while in
baby's mouth and line up appropriate
marker(s) to baby’s nose. Start with
slow flow (I) and regulate the flow
according to baby's feeding needs.
Teats comply to BS 7368: 199

13. Troubleshooting Guide
Lack of suction
No milk being expressed
Pain when expressing
Milk is drawn up the
petal massage cushion
Cracking/discolouration
of pump parts
Lost or broken parts
Check that all the pump components have been assembled
correctly and that the white star valve is facing up with the
flatside into the bottle. Ensure that the diaphragm and let-
down massage cushion are fitted securely to the pump body
and a perfect seal is created.
Ensure suction is created and the pump is correctly assembled.
Relax and try again, expression may improve after practice.
Please refer to the ‘Hints to help you succeed’ section.
You may be pumping too hard. You do not need to use all
the suction the pump can generate. Try depressing the handle
halfway and remember the 2-3 second pumping rhythm.
Consult your health professional/ breastfeeding adviser.
Try removing and refitting the let-down massage cushion
to ensure it is firmly attached and pushed far enough down
the funnel. Try leaning slightly forward. Try releasing the handle
more frequently to empty the breast milk into the VIA Cup or
bottle. Refer to “How to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump”.
Avoid contact with antibacterial detergents/cleaners as these
can damage the plastic. Combinations of detergents, cleaning
products, sterilising solution, softened water and temperature
fluctuations may, under certain circumstances, cause the plastic
to crack. If this occurs, do not use. Contact AVENT Customer
Services for spare parts. The pump is dishwasher safe but food
colourings may discolour components.
Spare parts are available through AVENT Customer Services, see
contact details below or visit our web-site at www.avent.com
