8. Practical tips
Prior to using the pump for the first time and after every usage, clean your
mamivac
®
suction kits as
described in the respective operating instructions. Please check whether all parts are undamaged. Make
sure to assemble the parts properly again as shown in the instructions. Prior to expressing, always wash
your hands thoroughly with soap and wipe the breast with a damp cloth. To avoid dry, sore or cracked
nipples, do not use soap or alcohol as detergent. Prepare yourself for the expressing with ease. Take a
comfortable and relaxed seat.
•
Gently press the breast shield over the nipple for a tight contact.
•
You can operate the mamivac
®
SENSITIVE-C breast pump either with one or two suction kits. To save
time, it is possible to express both breasts simultaneously (double pumping).
•
Start to express milk. Please observe the instructions for operating explained in Chapter 3.
•
The pump features a stimulation mode to support milk production. You can also use your free hand for
an additional breast massage to support the flow of milk.
•
Express both breasts alternately, unless instructed otherwise by your physician.
•
When expressing make sure not to overfill the milk bottle. With a capacity of 125 ml, we recommend
to interrupt expressing when the 100 ml mark is reached and fill the expressed breast milk to another
container/bottle. Turn the bottle counterclockwise to unscrew it from the breast shield.
•
For further information regarding breast shield size please ask your lactation consultant or midwife.
•
Since expressing times strongly depend on the individual mother, you are asked to contact your midwi-
fe or breastfeeding assistant. As a rule of thumb, the following expressing times are recommended:
With one suction kit:
Expressing scheme: Express first and second breast 5 minutes each one after the other, followed by
3 minutes and 2 minutes each.
With two suction kits:
Express both breasts simultaneously for 10 minutes (double pumping). Have a look at the fill level of
the bottle at the suction kit from time to time and make sure it does not overflow.
8.1 Storing breast milk
Breast milk can be stored as follows:
•
Freshly expressed milk at room temperature (16 °-29 °C) 3-4 hours
•
In the rear of the fridge (below 4 °C) 3 days
•
In the freezer (-18 °C) 6 months
Fill the used bottles or containers to two thirds only and write down the fill date. Instead of a bottle, you can
also use our specially designed
mamivac
®
breast milk freezer bags [REF 282100]. Do not defrost frozen
breast milk in the microwave, but at room temperature. Place the bottle or bag in warm water as required.
After defrosting, gently shake the container or bag to mix the milk.
9. Troubleshooting
The hygienic diaphragm of the suction kit effectively prevents that liquids or solids are sucked into the pump.
If substances are sucked in nevertheless or any other problem occurs, immediately put the device out of
operation. Contact your rental station or directly the manufacturer’s customer service.
