WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:

- This device cannot be serviced or repaired. Do not repair yourself. Do not modify the device.

- Never use a damaged device. Replace damaged or worn parts.

- Use only the power adaptor that comes with the breast pump.

- Use the breast pump only for its intended use as described in this manual.

- Do not use the breast pump while sleeping or overly drowsy.

- Do not use Sonata breast pump while operating a moving vehicle.

- Inspect all appropriate pump components before each use.

- If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.

- Pumping can induce labor. Do not pump until after giving birth. If you become pregnant while breastfeeding or breast pumping, consult with a licensed healthcare professional before continuing.

- If infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast milk.

- Do not microwave or boil breast milk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to baby's mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving. (Microwaving can also change the composition of breast milk.)

- Clean and sanitize all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk prior to first use.

- Wash all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk after every use.

- Only use Medela recommended parts with your Sonata® Breast Pump.

MEDELA Sonata - WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury: - 1

CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:

  • Portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can affect the breast pump.
  • Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source. See Section 23 for technical specifications.
  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breast pump, kit and breasts, and avoid touching the inside of bottles or lids.
  • Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use. This will help remove breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
  • Always inspect breast shields, connectors, valves, membranes, bottles, lids, and tubing prior to use for cleanliness. Contact Medela Customer Service if cleaning does not resolve the issue.
  • Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning your breast pump and parts.
  • Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
  • Do not run pump with wet tubing. Doing so may damage the breast pump.
  • If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast tissue against the breast shield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care™ Lanolin may be beneficial. For assistance with correct breast shield sizing and comfort please visit www.MedelaBreastshields.com or see a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist.
  • If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal between the breast and the breast shield with your finger and remove the breast shield from your breast.
  • Contact your health care professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful. See Section 7 & 8 for more information.
  • While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a breast pump should not cause pain. For assistance with correct breast shield sizing and comfort please visit www.MedelaBreastshields.com or see a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist.
  • Do not try to express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). The pain, along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output.
  • Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping.
  • Do not hold the pump kit by the bottle. This can lead to blockage of the milk ducts and engorgement. See Section 11 for more information.
  • The breast pump uses Bluetooth® technology. Please follow your air carrier rules for the use of Portable Electronic Devices when flying with your breast pump.
  • Using a breast pump on an aircraft is not recommended. The cabin pressure may affect the breast pumps performance.

MEDELA Sonata - CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury: - 1

Note

  • Plastic bottles and parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.
  • Bottles and 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.

Common pumping questions & answers

How often should you breast pump?

A breast pump is a replacement for when you are separated from your baby. It is important to pump when the baby would normally be breastfeeding. For example, a working mother may pump 2-3 times during an 8-hour work day.

How long should your pumping session last?

Pumping times can vary from mother to mother. Pumping sessions usually last from 15 to 30 minutes.

How should your breasts feel before and after pumping?

Before pumping, your breasts will have a firm, heavy feeling. After pumping, your breasts should feel soft with no firm areas. Firm areas could indicate that the breast is not completely drained.

1. Medela's PersonalFit™ and PersonalFit Flex™ sizing

Pumping should not hurt. For maximum comfort and pumping efficiency, Medela offers PersonalFit Flex™ in four breast shield sizes*:

21 mm

24mm

27 mm

30 mm

* Medela's original PersonalFit breast shields are also available in 36 mm.

Visit MedelaBreastshields.com to view the full guide to help you determine your optimal size based on your nipple diameter.

2. Test your breast shield size

  1. Start with the 21 mm 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.

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.

MEDELA Sonata - Should you try a new size? - 1

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 health care professional or breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a proper fit.
  • If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast tissue against the breast shield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care Lanolin may be beneficial.

Radiated RFIEC 61000-4-310 V/m (minimum)80 MHz – 2,7 GHz80 % AM at 1 kHz10 V/m(minimum)

Note 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

Note 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

^a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the breast pump is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the breast pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the breast pump.
^b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

This electric breast pump is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the electric breast pump can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the electric breast pump as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Rated maximum output power of transmitter WSeparation distance according to frequency of transmitter m

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

Note 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.

Note 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.

WARNING: Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the breast pump including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
