• Never operate an electrical device if it has a damaged cord or plug, is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged. If damage is found, immediately discontinue use and call Medela Customer Service at 1-800-435-8316.

• Do not use an electrical outlet device that has been exposed to water or other liquids including:

• Do not use while bathing or showering.

• Never place or drop into water or other liquids.
• Do not run water over breast pump.

- If a device has been exposed to water or other liquids, do not touch, unplug the device from electrical outlet, turn off and contact manufacturer.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

Too Small Nipple Areola

• Nipple rubs along side of tunnel
• Try a larger size

Correct Fit Nipple Areola

• Nipple is centered and moves freely

Too Large Nipple Areola

• 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 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.

19. Supplemental Information

Supplemental Information

Following are some common breastfeeding-related conditions. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact a healthcare professional or lactation professional.

	Symptom Potential Causes
Engorgement	Breasts are hard and uncomfortable, possibly with reddened areas.	Milk not draining properly from breast. Milk can drain back into the tissue causing areas to swell and become tender.
Blocked/Plugged Ducts	Area of breast will look reddened and may be tender to touch.	Milk not being drained from a specific duct. The area becomes “clogged” up and milk is then prevented from flowing.
Mastitis	Often follows engorgement but can just occur suddenly. The initial symptoms are similar to flu – fatigue, headache and muscle aches, fever and localized breast tenderness. It can be in one or both breasts and needs immediate treatment.	A bacterial infection in the breast tissue which is often accompanied by cracked nipples.
