c. Using the breast pump
1. Place the breast shield correctly over your breast ensuring the milk
can flow freely into the collection container.
2. Ensure your nipple is centred inside the funnel. The flexible part of
the breast shield must also be properly positioned on your breast to
ensure a complete seal.
3. Check that the selector is in the right position when using in single
or double pumping mode before starting.
4. Activate the breast pump by pressing the button .
By default, the breast pump starts in single pumping mode.
To use in double pumping mode, press the central button to choose "double pumping" mode. When you are
in "single puping" mode, "dots" light up on the right. If you are in "double pumping ode", "drops" light up on the
left.
Suction is activated. A time counter is displayed to allow you to track the duration of the stimulation and expression
sessions.
5. The MINIKIT DUO breast pump operates with several setting levels that are displayed progressively on the right or
left of the display screen. To move from one level to another, press the
⊕
or
⊝
buttons.
Levels 1 to 4 correspond to the stimulation phase (fast rate, low suction):
When starting, it is necessary to begin with this stimulation phase in order to stimulate the arrival of the milk and
to activate the milk let-down reflex. This phase should last about 2 min. Level 1 automatically switches to level 2
after 45 seconds; level 2 automatically switches to level 3 after 90 seconds; level 3 automatically switches to level
4 after 135 seconds and level 4 automatically switches to level 5 after 180 seconds. If the first drops of milk begin
to flow more quickly, press the
⊕
button to go directly to level 5 in the expression phase.
Levels 5 to 9 correspond to the expression phase (with an increasingly slower speed, the suction power becomes
stronger): upon the arrival of the milk and for optimal collection, adjust the position to your convenience according
to the comfort felt. Milk expression is optimal at the level of maximum compression and is not painful for the
mother.
At any time in the expression cycle, you can press the
⊝
button to go back to the lower setting level.
Be sure to check that milk is flowing properly inside the collection container.
6. After expressing the milk, switch off the breast pump by pressing the button.
