Controls and Features
and feel comfortable with your
PJ’s Comfort
breast pump. The cycle
speed is used to fine-tune the suction rhythm to best mimic your
baby’s suckling.
Vacuum adjustment knob
The
vacuum adjustment knob
controls the suction strength
(vacuum) for balancing effectiveness and comfort and will also slow
down cycle speed as vacuum is increased. Rotating the
vacuum
adjustment knob
to the right increases the strength and rotating the
knob to the left decreases the strength. A vacuum setting of 1 (one)
applies a low suction strength (vacuum). A vacuum setting of 30
(thirty) applies a high suction strength (vacuum). Your
PJ’s Comfort
breast pump always maintains a slight vacuum.
Since each mother/baby couple’s breast-feeding experience is
different, the adjustment of these knobs will be an individual choice.
The goal is to adjust the suction rhythm (cycle) to what best mimics
your baby’s sucking pattern and to adjust the suction strength
(vacuum) to a comfortable setting. Note that the vacuum setting will
also affect the suction rhythm (cycle). Increasing the vacuum level
will decrease the number of cycles per minute (slow cycles).
Adjusting the cycle speed will not change the vacuum level. Cycle
speed is independent of vacuum strength.
When you begin to use
PJ’s Comfort
breast pump, it’s recommended
that you use a fast suction rhythm (cycle) and low suction strength
(vacuum). The pump is programmed to start at this setting when
first used or if pump is left off for more than 5 (five) minutes. This will
create a flutter like sensation and allow for a comfortable setting so
you can get used to the pump.
After 1-2 minutes of pumping, increase the suction strength (vacuum)
by rotating the vacuum adjustment knob to the right until it feels
comfortable and similar to your baby’s suckle.
