Pumping with ISIS iQ UNO
Before you begin pumping, make sure that you have correctly washed, sanitized and
assembled the pump. Consult the ‘Preparing to Pump’ Section on page 7 for tips on
stimulating let-down and milk flow.

Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your
breasts are clean.
Turn on Pump: (Either plug in the wall plug cord or
switch on at the on/off switch located on the battery
pack.) Press and hold the control button for a few
seconds. When the light turns
GREEN
, the pump
is ready to use.
If the light is flashing
RED
, refer to the
‘Troubleshooting Guide’ on page 21-22.
Form a Seal: Press the pump against your breast,
so that your nipple fits into the funnel. A seal should
form between the pump and your breast.
Let-down: Let-down is your body’s physiological
response to the suckling action of your baby on the
breast.This stimulates the breast to produce milk and
send it towards the nipple where it is available for baby.
To initiate Let-down, begin by squeezing the handle
with shallow quick strokes.This is intended to imitate
your baby’s natural suckling pattern. At the same time
you are doing this, you are enabling the petals on the
Let-down Massage Cushion
™
to flex in and out around
the areola, creating a massaging effect.This is intended
to help stimulate the natural Let-down reflex. Let-down
can occur immediately after a few strokes and should
not take longer than 5 minutes (refer to page 7 on
Preparing to Pump).You can choose to automate this
Let-down phase by pressing the blue One-touch
Memory Control or you can continue to pump manually.
Milk Expression: Milk Expression occurs after
Let-down is achieved and milk begins to flow.
It is the phase that is induced by the baby’s
deeper more comfortable sucking rhythm.
If you did not automate the Let-down rhythm,
please skip to Step 5.
If you have automated
the Let-down phase in Step 3, press the blue
One-touch Memory Control to end the Let-
down rhythm.
You can now begin to establish
a comfortable pumping rhythm and level of
suction that can be maintained throughout your
pumping session.
ISIS iQ Mimics Your Pumping: To create a natural
breastfeeding rhythm, we suggest you hold down
on the handle for 3 seconds, then release and repeat
the pattern for the next compression. Next, press
the blue One-touch Memory Control on the handle.
The mode light on the pump motor will change
from
GREEN
to
ORANGE
and ISIS iQ will mimic the
rhythm of the last two compressions.
Note: You do not need to compress the handle fully, only
until it feels comfortable.The further you compress the
handle, the more suction the pump will provide. If the
pressure is uncomfortable, stop the automated pumping
by pressing the One-touch Memory Control and break the
seal between your breast and pump funnel with your finger.
