1. Important Safeguards

IMPORTANT

• Plastic bottles and component parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.
• Bottles and component parts may become damaged if mishandled, e.g. dropped, over-tightened, or knocked over.
• Take appropriate care in handling bottles and components.
• Do not use the breast milk if bottles or components become damaged.

Intended Use

The Symphony® Breast Pump is a powered breast pump to be used by lactating women to express and collect milk from their breast.

Product Description

The Symphony is a hospital grade (multi-user), electric breast pump that is capable of single and double pumping. There are different program cards available for use with the Symphony: Standard, and PLUS™. The program cards are utilized to generate the pump suction patterns.

The Standard program card is designed to build and maintain milk production with 2-Phase Expression® technology. The 2-Phase Expression technology mimics the baby's natural sucking rhythm. Short, stimulation cycles in the stimulation phase are followed by longer ones in the expression phase.

Symphony PLUS® program card contains two different programs: INITIATE and MAINTAIN; these researched-based programs were developed specifically to support mothers throughout their lactation journey: to initiate, build and maintain adequate milk production. Research has shown that Initiation Technology™ is beneficial for mothers of both preterm and term infants. The goal of the INITAte program is to initiate milk production with Medela's Initiation Technology for both preterm and term infants. The MAINTAIN program is designed to build and maintain milk production with the 2-Phase Expression technology.

The warning symbol identifies all instructions that are important to safety. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to injury or damage to the breast pump. When used in conjunction with the following words, the warning symbols stand for:

WARNING Can lead to serious injury or death.

CAUTION Can lead to minor injury.

NOTE Can lead to material damage.

TIP Useful or important information that is not related to safety.

10. Breast Shield Sizing

PersonalFit™ Sizing

1. Medela's PersonalFit™ sizing

Pumping should not hurt. For maximum comfort and pumping efficiency, Medela offers five breast shield sizes.

For additional information visit MedelaBreastshields.com.

2. Test your breast shield size

1. Start with the 24mm that came with your pump, or the size determined by measuring.
2. Center nipple and gently hold breast shield against your breast.
3. Adjust for Maximum Comfort Vacuum™, to achieve optimum suction level.
4. Refer to images while pumping in expression.

- Nipple rubs along side of tunnel
Try a larger size

- Nipple is centered and moves freely

- Nipple and excessive areola are pulled into the tunnel
Try a smaller size

3. Should you try a new size?

• Does your nipple rub sides of tunnel, to the point of causing discomfort?
• Do you see excessive areola being pulled into tunnel?
• Do you see any redness?
• Is your nipple or areola turning white?
• Do you feel unexpressed milk after pumping?

If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, consider trying a new size by following the measuring instructions above.

If you are still unsure if you selected the correct size, see a lactation consultant, breastfeeding specialist, or visit MedelaBreastshields.com for assistance in choosing the right size breast shield.

Caution

• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a breast pump should not cause pain. If you are unsure about breast shield sizing, please contact a healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a proper fit.

11. Determine the Program Card

Medela offers two different program cards for the Symphony®: Standard and PLUS™. The program cards are utilized to generate the pump's suction patterns.

The Symphony Standard program card is designed to build and maintain milk production with 2-Phase Expression® technology. The 2-Phase Expression technology mimics the baby's natural sucking rhythm. Short, stimulation cycles in the stimulation phase are followed by longer ones in the expression phase. ^1,2,3

Symphony PLUS® program card contains two different programs: INITIATE and MAINTAIN; these researched-based programs were developed specifically to support mothers throughout their lactation journey: to initiate, build and maintain adequate milk production. Research has shown that Initiation Technology is beneficial for mothers of both preterm and term infants.

11,12,13,14

The INITIATE program supports pump-dependent mothers to successfully initiate milk production. The program mimics the irregular sucking pattern, rapid sucking and pausing, of a term infant in the first days of lactation.[11]
The MAINTAIN program is designed to optimize milk output after secretory activation (milk coming in) has occurred, in order to build and maintain an adequate milk production. The program has 2-Phase Expression technology that mimics a term infant's sucking pattern during established lactation. ^1,2,3

11A. Determining Program Card by LCD Screen

Standard Program Card: The LCD screen will display "Symphony 2.0" when plugged in.

PLUS Program Card: The LCD screen will display "Press power" when plugged in.

12. Pumping

Note

• If the pump has been running for 30 minutes without any user action (e.g. adjustment of the vacuum), the Symphony will automatically switch off.

Tip

• Do not fill bottle above maximum volume indictor line.

12A. Before pumping

Caution

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breast pump, kit, and breast. Avoid touching the inside of containers or lids.

Switch on the breast pump with

Place the second breast shield on the breast so that the nipple is properly centered in the tunnel.

12B. Preparing for pumping

Set to Maximum Comfort VacuumTM:Rotate the vacuum to the right and increase until there is slight discomfort. Rotate to the left to reduce the vacuum slightly.

Place the breast shield on your breast so that your nipple is properly centered in the tunnel. Hold the breast shield onto your breast with your thumb and index finger. Support your breast with the palm of your hand.

Caution

Pressing shields too firmly onto breasts may affect milk flow.

12. Pumping (cont.)

12C. Finish Pumping

Switch off the breast pump with

Do not fill the bottle above maximum volume indicator line. Always disconnect the Symphony from the power source after expression.

Use the container stand to prevent the bottle from tipping over.

Close the bottle with a lid. Follow the instructions in Section 14 "Breast Milk Collection and Storage".

Caution - Contact your healthcare professional or lactation professional if you can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful. See Section 10 and 17 for more information. - Do not try and express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). The pain, along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output.

If you are experiencing low or no suction, refer to Troubleshooting Section 15.

13. Program Cards

13A. Symphony® Standard Program Card

Note

• Symphony Standard program card is designed to build and maintain milk production.
  Symphony Standard has 2-Phase Expression technology, which mimics the baby's natural sucking rhythm.1,2,3
• Symphony Standard has two pumping patterns, stimulation and expression.

→ Stimulation Phase: Research-based fixed cycles per minute1,2,3
Expression Phase: supports milk production5,8,9

The combination of double pumping with 2-Phase Expression Technology, compared to single pumping, allows mothers the following benefits ^1-10 :

• Time saving - more milk in less time
• Maintenance of milk supply when not able to directly breastfeed
  Milk with higher energy content (as measured by cream content)
• comfort and efficiency

Tip

• Press the "Let down" button to revert from the expression phase to the stimulation phase if necessary. If milk has not begun to flow after two successive stimulation phases, take a break and try again in 15-30 minutes. Try breast massage (ask your lactation professional or health care practitioners) and then pump using the expression phase.
  The program stores the last vacuum setting in the stimulation phase.

Operation: Standard program

Press On/Off Button to switch on the breast pump. The program will automatically start in Stimulation.

Stimulation phase will automatically change to the expression phase after two minutes.

If your milk starts to flow before the end of the two minutes, press "Let-down button to change to the expression phase
Make sure that the milk flows into the bottle properly.

Set to Maximum Comfort Vacuum in both stimulation and expression phases. Refer to Section 12.

13. Program Cards (cont.)
