1. Intended use / Population - Contraindication

MEDELA Swing Maxi Flex - Intended use / Population - Contraindication - 1

The intended use and indications of breast pumps

Breast pumps are intended to be used by lactating women in the hospital or home environment for expressing breast milk. Breast pumps are indicated to alleviate the symptoms of engorgement by expressing milk. In case of mastitis breast pumps support the healing process by removing breast milk from the affected breast.

Breast pumps are indicated to relieve sore and cracked nipples and to bring out flat or inverted nipples. Also breast pumps enable mothers to provide breast milk for babies who cannot feed directly at the breast for a variety of reasons such as latch-on problems, cleft palate or premature babies.

Intended patient population/user

Adolescent paediatric or adult lactating women. Many women find it convenient, or even necessary, to use a breast pump to express and store their breast milk once they have returned to work, are travelling or are otherwise separated from their baby. Women are often delighted to learn that a breast pump can be used as a supplement to breastfeeding and that some pumps are designed to mimic the suckling of a nursing baby.

Contraindications

There are no known contraindications for the Swing Flex / Swing Maxi Flex breast pump.

Room temperature 16 to 25 °C (60 to 77 °F)Refrigerator 4 °C (39 °F) or colderFreezer -18 °C (0 °F) or colderBreast milk thawed in the refrigerator
Up to 4 hours is bestUp to 3 days is bestUp to 6 months is bestAt room temperature: Up to 2 hours
*Up to 6 hours for milk expressed under very clean conditions*Up to 5 days for milk expressed under very clean conditions*Up to 9 months for milk expressed under very clean conditionsRefrigerator: Up to 24 hours Do not refreeze!

*Guidelines for expressing milk under very clean conditions:

Before expressing breast milk, mothers should wash their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. The pump parts, bottles and pumping area must be clean. Breasts and nipples do not need to be washed before pumping.

These guidelines for storage and thawing of breast milk are a recommendation. Contact your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist for further information.
- Store breast milk in the coldest spot of the refrigerator (at the back of the glass shelf above the vegetable compartment).

9.2 Freezing

Freeze expressed breast milk in plastic bottles or milk storage bags. Do not fill the bottles or bags more than 34 full to allow space for possible expansion.

I Do not use the breast milk if bottles or components become damaged.

9.3Thawing

MEDELA Swing Maxi Flex - 9.3Thawing - 1

Do not thaw or warm breast milk in a microwave or a pan of boiling water. This helps preserve important components and prevents burns.

To preserve breast milk components, thaw the milk overnight in the refrigerator. Alternatively, hold the bottle or bag under warm water (max. 37^ / 98.6^ ).
Gently swirl the bottle or bag to mix any fat that has separated. Avoid shaking or stirring the milk.

10. Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Check the ends of the tubing fit securely into the back of the connector and into the port on the breast pump. Do not kink the tubing during expression. Ensure the breast shield forms a complete seal around the breast.
If condensation appears in the tubingClean the tubing as described in chapter 7.5. Shake out any water drops.
The pump becomes wetUnplug the mains adapter from the socket. Switch off the pump. Do not place the pump upside down. Control panel must point upwards.
