Congratulations on the purchase of your new Milk Genie! Pumpables is
happy to bring you a super quiet, portable, hand-held electric breast pump
with an inbuilt rechargeable battery, single or double pumping and
programmable memory.
FEATURES
Quiet Motor: The Milk Genie features a quiet motor that reaches a
maximum of 270 mmHg making it strong enough to maintain
supply and ensure you can pump quickly and effectively - and it is
super quiet!
Single or Double Pumping: The Milk Genie comes with everything
you need for double pumping. Expressing from both breasts at the
same time saves you time and better supports milk supply. You can
easily switch to single pumping mode as well, which is useful for
tandem-feeding while expressing or expressing after baby has fed
from the other breast.
Comes with 3 Breastshield Sizes: The Milk Genie comes with 3
separate breastshield sizes (21mm, 24mm, and 27mm) so you can
easily swap shields and ensure the perfect fit.
Fully Adjustable Cycle/Vacuum Settings: Touch button controls
allow you to easily adjust the cycle and vacuum levels until you find
what works best for your body.
Massage Mode: The Milk Genie features a Massage Mode to
emulate the soft, fluttering movements that mimic the baby at the
start of breastfeeding to stimulate letdown.
Expression Mode: The Milk Genie’s Expression Mode emulates the
deep sucking rhythm that baby does after letdown occurs.
Programmable Memory: The Milk Genie allows you to save your
favorite pumping program, making pumping as easy as possible.

5
Timer: Never lose track of how long you have been pumping with
the Milk Genie’s integrated timer.
Backlight: No need to fumble around in the dark to see your pump
controls during those early morning pumping sessions; the Milk
Genie’s backlight emits enough light to see in the dark.
Battery: With 2.5 hours of battery life, you don’t need to be
tethered to the wall when pumping with the Milk Genie.
Stylish, Portable Design: Weighing in at just 265 grams (.58
pounds) and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, your
purse, or your pocket.

HYGIENE
The Milk Genie is a single user breast pump. It is not intended for
multiple users.
The Milk Genie breast pump is a closed system with the use of the
backflow protector, preventing milk from entering the system
tubing.
Always follow the directions in this manual for cleaning and storage
of your breast pump and parts.
Failure to follow the guidelines provided or use of the Milk Genie
with attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may
pose a health risk and will void the warranty.
PAIN OR DISCOMFORT
You should not experience pain or discomfort when using your Milk Genie
breast pump. Do not turn the suction level above your comfort level.
Ensure that the breast shields are fitted correctly (see Breastshield Sizing
on page 21). If you experience pain or discomfort, stop using the breast
pump and seek help from your care provider, a certified lactation
consultant, or the Pumpables team, as appropriate.
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
Use the product only for its intended use and with attachments
recommended by the manufacturer.
Handle the power cord, adapter and plug with care; do not leave on
a heated surface, do not pull on or twist the power cord, do not wrap
the cord around the adapter body.
Do not use near standing water.
Do not use in the presence of concentrated oxygen or pressurized
gases.

16
Unplug and store out of reach of children when not in use.
If you are pregnant, please consult your healthcare provider
prior to using the Milk Genie. Pumping can cause contractions,
and in extreme cases induce labor. If you are pregnant while nursing
another child, please consult your healthcare provider prior to using
this product.

17
Note: These guidelines are for use with a healthy, full-term baby and assume
that you have access to potable water. If your baby is premature or has health
challenges your care provider may supply alternative advice. If you live in an
area without potable water, you should always sterilize parts before use.
Always follow the advice of your care provider.
You should sterilize all parts (other than the pump motor and
tubing) before first use.
You do not need to sterilize parts used with breastmilk after every
use. Thorough washing with warm soapy water and air drying after
each use is sufficient. You may wish to sterilize on occasion to
ensure fat residue is removed.
You do need to sterilize breast milk storage containers that will be
used to store and freeze breast milk, such as bottles. Most milk
storage bags come pre-sterilized; verify before using.
WASHING BREASTPUMP PARTS
1. Wash your hands.
2. Disassemble all parts and wash in warm, soapy water and then rinse
thoroughly in hot water. The top rack of the dishwasher is fine for
all parts except the valve and backflow protector membrane. You
may wish to soak the parts in warm soapy water for several minutes
prior to washing, as well.
3. Use a bottle brush to ensure that there is no milk residue anywhere
in the parts. Try to be careful with the membranes and valves, as
they are the most fragile part of the kit.
4. Do not wash the valves or membranes in the dishwasher. Flush the
valve with hot soapy water and carefully remove any milk residue
with a bottle brush.
5. Place parts on a clean dish drying rack or clean paper towel to air
dry after washing. Do not use cloth to dry your breast pump parts

18
as it may harbor bacteria that can contaminate breast milk. Try not
to touch the inside of any parts that will encounter breast milk.
6. Once dry, store parts in a clean, closed container (i.e. snaplock bag
or clean plastic tub with a lid).
7. Never immerse your pump motor in water. Wipe clean with a damp
cloth as needed.
8. Never wash or sterilize the tubing. When used correctly, the
backflow protector stops milk from entering the tubing. If milk
should somehow enter the tubing, Pumpables recommends
replacing the tubing. If tubing should become wet, make sure it is
completely dry before pumping as not to damage the motor.
9. The backflow protector does not need to be washed after each use.
If you notice moisture in the backflow protector, disassemble and
wash each of the three parts separately. Allow to air dry before
reassembly.
Cleaning & Care Tips
If pumping multiple times per day, you can save time by storing
the kit in a clean, closed container (i.e. snaplock bag or clean plastic
tub with a lid) in the refrigerator until the next use. Once a day, wash
the equipment thoroughly with warm soapy water and rinse it well
with hot water.
STERILIZING BREASTPUMP PARTS
You can use any method you like to sterilize the parts of your Milk Genie.
Please remember that you do not need to sterilize the tubing or pump
motor. In most cases, you do not need to sterilize after every use of your
breast pump; over-sterilizing will cause your pump parts to wear and
require replacement more quickly. Your care provider may have given you
alternative sterilization instructions if your baby was born prematurely or
has an illness: always adhere to your care provider’s instructions.
You do need to sterilize all parts (except tubing and pump motor) before
first use. Please be aware that there is no method of sterilizing at home

19
which can ensure that milk collection kits are safe for use by multiple users.
The Milk Genie is a single-user pump.
Choose from any of the following instructions to sterilize pump parts:
Boiling
1. Place all the equipment in a large sauce pan and cover with tap
water.
2. Check that there are no air bubbles inside bottles or other parts.
3. Place the lid on the saucepan and bring to a boil.
4. Boil for 5 minutes, making sure that the pot doesn’t boil dry and
melt the equipment.
5. Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
6. Remove parts with tongs and air dry on a clean dish rack or clean
paper towel.
Chemical Solutions (i.e. Milton®)
Follow the directions to make up the chemical solutions. Always follow the
manufacturer’s directions if they differ from the information below.
1. Make up a fresh solution every day.
2. Make up the solution in a large, clean plastic container.
3. Separate the equipment and place into the chemical solution,
squeezing the solution through the teats to make sure they are not
blocked.
4. Check that there are no air bubbles inside the bottles.
5. Completely cover the equipment in the chemical solution. If they
float to the top, place something heavy (like a plate) over them.
6. Don’t put anything metal (knives, spoons) in the chemical solution.
7. Remove and rinse off in cool water. Air dry on a clean dish rack or
clean paper towel.
Steam Sterilizer
Follow the manufacturer's directions.
