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 solid
GREEN
to flashing
GREEN
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 breaking the seal between your breast and pump funnel with your finger.
Changing the Speed and Level of Suction: Press the blue
One-Touch Memory Control on the handle again, and the pump
will revert to manual control. The light will turn from flashing
GREEN
to solid
GREEN
. Establish a comfortable speed and level
of suction. Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control again,
and ISIS iQ will continue the same pumping rhythm.
Ending Pumping Session: Press the blue One-Touch Memory
Control, break the seal between your breast and pump funnel
with your finger and remove the pump from your breast. Turn the
pump off and unplug at the power source. ISIS iQ will remember
and save the speed and suction level of your last two compressions.
Unscrew the base after milk is collected. If any milk remains in the
pump body, pour it into the base. Do not overfill the base. Wash
and re-sanitize all necessary parts before the next use.
Next time you turn your pump on:
Resuming Saved Session?
Turn on the pump as in
Step 1. Complete Step 2. Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control.This engages the
automatic pumping mode. The pump will continue with the rhythm of the last two
saved compressions of the milk expression phase. Continue pumping as described in
Step 4.
Need to re-establish let-down?
If you need to establish let-down, turn on the
pump as in Step 1. Complete Step 2. Squeeze the handle with shallow quick strokes
and proceed as described in Step 3.
Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts
are clean.
Turn on Pump: When the flashing
ORANGE
light changes to a
continuous
GREEN
light, the pump is ready to use.
If the light is flashing
RED
, refer to the ‘Troubleshooting Guide’
on page 21.
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. (If double pumping, press a pump
to each 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.
