4.1 Terms used
2-phase breastpump Ardo Alyssa expresses in two phases: the stimulation and the expression modes, which
imitate the sucking behaviour of the baby. This means a rapid cycle (suction frequency) with
low vacuum (suction level) to stimulate the let-down reflex and a high vacuum with a slow
cycle for efficient suction.
Stimulation mode A rapid cycle (suction frequency) and low vacuum (suction level) start the breast milk flowing
or trigger the let-down reflex.
Expression mode Slower cycle (suction frequency) and high comfortable vacuum (suction level) for efficient
expressing of breast milk once the let-down reflex has been triggered.
Cycles Suction frequency / suction speed
Vacuum Suction strength
Single pumping Expressing from one breast
Double pumping Expressing from both breasts
Let-down reflex A reflex that starts the breast milk flowing.
Memory Plus Saves the personal expression history incl. settings and time in stimulation and expression
mode. When the breastpump is next switched on, the saved expression history starts.
Power Pumping Interval pumping over one hour to increase the breast milk volume
‘Vacuum Seal’ technology Closed pump system with hygiene barrier in the breast shell itself.
