Indication/clinical benefits

The Beurer BY 15 breast pump set allows nursing women to express their breast milk easily and in the comfort of their own homes. If not enough breast milk is expressed from women who have recently given birth, this can lead to the painful build-up of milk, which in the worst-case scenario could cause infl ammation of the nipples (mastitis). This build-up of milk can be prevented through targeted expressing of breast milk using the breast pump.

In addition, breast pumps help to alleviate cracked or sore nipples. You can use the integrated stimulation function to draw out fl at or inverted nipples, making it easier to then express the breast milk.

Contraindications

For hygiene reasons, the breast pump may only be used on one person. Do not share the breast pump with other nursing women. The breast pump must only be used on the female breast. Never use the breast pump if feeling drowsy or while sleeping. This device must not be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience or knowledge.

Target group:

The breast pump must be used exclusively for expressing breast milk from nursing women. Do not use the breast pump on animals! The breast pump is only intended for domestic/private use, not for com

mercial use. This device may only be used for the purpose for which it is designed and in the manner specified in the instructions for use. Any form of improper use can be dangerous.

i Note

Check that the cardboard packaging of the breast pump has not been tampered with and make sure that all components are present. Before use, ensure that there is no visible damage to the breast pump or accessories and that all packaging material has been removed. If you have any doubts, do not use the contents and contact your retailer or the specified Customer Service address.

6.1 Assembling the breast pump

Once the breast pump has been removed from the packaging, check the plastic containers in particular for cracks.

1. Screw the pump attachment onto the bottle. Ensure the pump attachment is firmly secured so that no liquid can escape.
2 Attach the handle for the manual pump including the silicone membrane by pressing the silicone membrane firmly onto the pump attachment until it clicks into place.

6.2 Cleaning and sterilising the breast pump

WARNING

Clean and sterilise the separate parts of the breast pump that come into direct contact with the breast milk individually before first use and any further use.

To sterilise the breast pump correctly, proceed as follows:

1. Unscrew the pump attachment from the bottle.
2. Remove the silicone membrane and silicone valve from the pump attachment.
3. Sterilise the bottle and pump attachment (with silicone membrane and silicone valve) for five minutes in boiling water or using a steam steriliser. Do not use the breast pump until all individual parts are dry. Do not use any antibacterial cleaning products, as these may damage the plastic on the breast pump.

7. Usage

7.1 Tips to ensure a better milk flow

• Choose a location to use the pump where you can relax especially well.
• Choose a time to use the pump when you can relax especially well.
• Having your child nearby or looking at a picture of your child can have a positive effect on the milk flow.
• If feeding your child using one breast, use the breast pump on the other breast at the same time.
• Warmth and relaxation encourage milk flow. Use the breast pump after having a shower or bath.
• If your breasts are swollen or sore, place a warm towel on them for a few minutes. This will improve the milk flow.
• If the milk does not start to flow from your breasts immediately, try to relax and then try again a few minutes later.
• If the breast pump still does not express any milk from your breasts after five minutes, stop using it and try again later.
• If you experience any sharp pains when using the breast pump, consult a doctor.

7.2 Operating the breast pump

1. Before using the breast pump, wash your hands and breasts thoroughly.
2. Sit with your upper body bent forwards slightly. You can support your back better by using a pillow.
3. Then place the breast shield with silicone cushion gently on the breast. Make sure that the nipple is completely enclosed and there are no air pockets. To ensure proper function, the breast shield must be drawn firmly onto the breast. Use the manual pump as shown in the image.
4. You can vary the pump intensity by selecting between the MIN/ MAX markings that can be seen. It is recommended that you start in the MIN position.	MAX MIN

7.3 Storing the breast milk

Expressed milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer for a certain period of time.

• When storing breast milk, ensure that the breast pump and the bottles are disinfected before use. Only store breast milk in disinfected containers.
• If you wish to store breast milk, you should place it in the fridge or freezer immediately after expressing. Do not leave breast milk out at room temperature.
• If storing breast milk in the freezer, it is recommended that you mark the bottle with the date of expressing.

WARNING

Be sure to observe the storage periods in the following table:

	ROOM TEMPERATURE	REFRIGERATOR (approx. 3 - 5°C)	FREEZER (approx. -16°C)
Freshly expressed breast milk	Can be kept for 6 hours	Can be kept for 24 hours (Do not store in the fridge door, as it is not sufficiently cool there)	Can be kept for 3 months
Defrosted breast milk (that had been frozen)	Use immediately 10 hours	Do not refreeze!

7.4 Feeding breast milk to the baby

Note

You can use the supplied bottle with the silicone teat when feeding the breast milk to your baby. Alternatively, you can also express the breast milk with an NUK or Avent bottle and then feed it to your baby. (Corresponding NUK/Avent adapter included in delivery).

• Prior to feeding, ensure the bottle has been disinfected before filling it with the breast milk that has been stored.
• To defrost frozen breast milk, store it overnight in the fridge, so as to retain the nutrients. Once the breast milk is defrosted, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Breast milk should only be defrosted in warm water in especially urgent cases.
• If the breast milk smells unpleasant, it should be disposed of immediately.
• Never heat up breast milk in the microwave as it may be heated unevenly and could burn your child when they drink it.
• If heating up the breast milk, check its temperature before feeding it to your baby.

10. What if there are problems?

Problem Potential solutions
There is no suction from the breast pump.	Check whether all parts of the breast pump are correctly assembled. Check whether the pump attachment is correctly placed on the breast.
No breast milk is being expressed.	Ensure that there is no residual milk in the silicone valve obstructing the milk flow.
Expressing breast milk is causing pain.	Try to relax and attempt it again. As you use the breast pump more and more, you will find it easier to express breast milk. Set the suction level to MIN. Consult your doctor.
The breast milk is leaking out underneath the silicone cushion.	Remove the silicone cushion and re-attach it. Ensure the silicone cushion is correctly positioned and firmly secured to the pump attachment. Lean your upper body forwards slightly.
One of the breast pump components has become altered or damaged.	• Do not use any corrosive, gaseous cleaning agents or solvents. • In some cases, marked fluctuations in temperature can damage the plastic on the breast pump. • If any of the parts becomes damaged, stop using the breast pump.
