Assembly of Pump Kit
1. Wash hands before touching breast pump, kit and breasts, and avoid touching the
inside of containers or lids.
2. Place the breast pump on a clean dry surface.
3. Securely attach breast shield to breast shield connector.
4. Push valves onto bottom of breast shield connectors.
5. Screw bottles onto breast shield connectors.
6. Insert tubing into the back of the breast shield connectors.
7. For double pumping, insert the free ends of the tubing onto both ports of the tubing
connector on the device.
8. For Single Pumping, insert free end of tubing onto one port on the tubing
connector on the device. Place the port cap over the unused port.
9. Correctly install 6 AA batteries into the battery enclosure located on the back of the
device.
10. To use AC power, plug the power adaptor into the power jack on the device. Plug the
power adaptor into a safe, proper electrical outlet.
Correctly fitting breast shields:
1. Properly fitting breast shields will ensure comfort and efficient milk expression. While
some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, it should not cause pain.
Please contact a healthcare professional if you are unsure about breast shield sizing.
2. The nipple should be centered in the tunnel of the shield.
3. The nipple should move freely without rubbing when the pump is turned on.
4. Minimal or no part of the areola should be pulled into the tunnel when the pump is on.
5. You should see a gentle, rythmic motion with the breast during each cycle.
6. After pumping, your breast should feel much less full with no areas of hardness.
