If double pumping, insert port cap into the hole in the middle of cylinder holder.

V Electrical Operation

Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

VI Pumping

Be comfortably seated and relax. Use a footrest, when pumping or when feeding your baby. Elevating your feet puts you into proper sitting position to avoid stress on the lower back and perineum.

Center your breastshield over your nipple.

• Do not tilt or overfill bottles when pumping.
  Take care not to kink tubing while pumping.

Set the vacuum regulator to minimum and switch on the breastpump.

Adjust the vacuum to your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™. This is the highest vacuum you can use and still feel comfortable (different for every mother). To find your Maximum Comfort Vacuum increase vacuum until pumping feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful), then decrease slightly.

Research has shown that you will pump more efficiently - meaning get more milk in less time - when pumping at Maximum Comfort Vacuum™.

Once finished pumping, switch off the breastpump, unplug it, and disassemble the pump kit items. Close the bottle and store it for later use.

Use bottle stand to prevent tip over.

VI Pumping

Lactina Select only

The Lactina Select features an additional knob to adjust the pumping speed. Choose a fast pumping rhythm to start your milk flowing (setting 7 corresponds to highest speed level). Once your milk starts to flow or you sense milk ejection you may adjust the rhythm by decreasing speed slightly (e.g. setting 4).

VII Breastshield Fitting

Choosing the right size of Breastshield

A correctly fitted breastshield avoids compression of any milk ducts during pumping to ensure optimal breast emptying and maximum milk output.

Your breastshield is the right size if your answer to the following questions is «Yes»:

Is your nipple moving freely in the tunnel?
Is minimal or no areolar tissue being pulled into the tunnel of the breastshield?
- Do you see a gentle, rhythmical motion in the breast with each cycle of the pump?
- Do you feel the breast emptying all over?
Is your nipple pain-free?

If your answer to any of the above questions is «No», try a larger (or smaller) breastshield.

Medela PersonalFit™ Breastshield: Available in five sizes - because one size does not fit all.

VIII Manual Pumping

Follow steps 1-7 (excluding step 4) on page 3/4/5

Set the vacuum regulator to minimum and start pumping. Adjust the vacuum to your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™. This is the highest vacuum you can use and still feel comfortable (different for every mother). To find your Maximum Comfort Vacuum increase vacuum until pumping feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful), then decrease slightly.

IX Cleaning and Hygiene

Important Use drinking water quality for any of the following described cleaning procedures.

• Clean parts immediately after use to avoid dry up of milk residues and to prevent from growth of bacteria.
• Disassemble all parts prior to cleaning. Especially be sure to remove the yellow valve head from the breastshield and separate the white valve membrane from the valve head.

IX Cleaning and Hygiene

Cleaning at home

Follow these cleaning instructions unless you are told otherwise by your healthcare professional.

Prior to first use and once daily

• Disassemble, wash and rinse all parts of your pump kit that come in contact with the breast and milk (a+b+c+d+m+n+o).
• Place parts in a saucepan of sufficient capacity.
• Fill with cold water until the parts are well covered. Optionally, a tea spoon of citric acid may be added to avoid a build-up of limescale.
• Heat it up and allow to boil for 5 minutes.
• Remove from stove and drain water off.
• Dry parts with a clean towel.

Alternatively, the disassembled parts can be sanitized in top rack of dishwasher, with the Medela Quick Clean microwave bags or with the B-Well steam sterilizer.

Note: Food colorings may discolor components which will not affect performance.

After each use

• Disassemble and handwash all parts of your pump kit that come in contact with the breast and milk (a+b+c+d+m+n+o) in warm, soapy water.
• Rinse in clear water.
• Dry parts with a clean towel.

Cleaning in hospitals

The following cleaning instructions are general recommendations and may individually be adjusted based on the hospital's specific directives and cleaning practices.

Important

It is recommended to provide each mother an own personal pump set and to clean, disinfect and sterilize (e.g. autoclave) all components after each use or, latest each time they are handed over to the next mother. Use by more than one mother without adequate sterilization may pose a health risk (e.g. risk of cross-contamination) and voids the warranty.

Cleaning

Disassemble and thoroughly wash all parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse in clear water.

Disinfecting

Disinfect all parts by washing in a thermic washing machine (at approx. 93^ C).

Sterilizing

Prior sterilizing visually check parts if clean and intact. Sterilize all parts by autoclaving at 134^ for 3 (or 18) minutes or at 125^ for 15 -20 minutes. Do not stack parts or apply external pressure to avoid damages. Alternatively, the parts can be EO-sterilized (Ethylene Oxide).

Tubing care

Inspect the tubing after each pumping session for condensation and/or milk.

If condensation appears in the tubing

Let the pump run after you have completed pumping with tubing attached for 1-2 minutes or until dry.

If milk gets into the tubing

If milk accidentally gets into the tubing turn off the pump and unplug from power source. Remove and clean the tubing according to the instructions «Prior to first use and once daily». Shake water droplets out and hang to air-dry. For faster drying, attach the tubing to pump and run for 1- 2 minutes or until dry.

Hints After cleaning, when parts are not in use, put in a clean zip lock bag or store in a container with lid. Alternatively, the parts can be wrapped in a clean paper or cloth towel.

Hygiene · Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching the breast and pump parts.

• Avoid touching the inside of bottles and lids.
• Clean the breast and surrounding area with a damp cloth.
• Do not use soap or alcohol which can dry the skin and cause cracked nipples.

IX Cleaning and Hygiene

Breastpump care

Unplug breastpump prior to cleaning

At home Daily or when spills occur In hospitals Immediately when spills occur In between each mother and/or on a regular basis, e.g. daily

• Use a damp (not wet) cloth to wipe over the breastpump.
  Optionally, soapy water or a non-abrasive detergent may be used.
• Do not spray or pour liquid directly onto the pump.
• Do not immerse the pump unit in water.
