Pumping; Device Operation - Medela Pump In Style Advanced Mode D'emploi

7. Pumping

Caution
• Always inspect breast shields, breast
shield connectors, white membranes,
yellow valves, and tubing prior to use for
cleanliness. If dirty, see Section 5.1.
• If you experience pain or other symptoms
while pumping seek advice from your
healthcare professional or breastfeeding
specialist. See Section 11 for more
information.
• Do not try and express with vacuum that is
too high and uncomfortable (painful). The
pain, along with potential breast and nipple
trauma may decrease milk output.
• Make sure tubing is not kinked or
pinched while pumping.
• Contact your healthcare professional or
breastfeeding specialist if you can express
only minimal or no milk, or if expression
is painful.
Info
• Research has shown that you will pump
more efficiently – get more milk in less time
– when pumping at Maximum Comfort
Vacuum ™ during the Expression Phase.
• You should reassess your Maximum
Comfort Vacuum throughout your pumping
experience, because it can change during
the different stages of lactation, see step 5
in Section 7.
• Do not tilt or overfill containers
when pumping.
