1. Important Safeguards (cont.)
CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:
• Pump only with the breast pump in an upright position.
• Do NOT shorten tubing between breast shield and pump.
• Make sure the voltage of the device is compatible with the power source.
• Plug the power cord into the breast pump first and then into the wall socket.
• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners/detergents when cleaning breast pump or breast pump
parts.
• Never put breast pump in water or in a sterilizer, as you can cause permanent damage
to the breast pump.
• Do not attempt to remove the breast shield from your breast while pumping. Turn the
breast pump off and break the seal between your breast and breast shield with your
finger, then remove breast shield from your breast.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal between
the breast and the breast shield with your finger and remove the breast shield from your
breast.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• Inspect the tubing for condensation or milk after each use. Wash or replace the tubing
immediately after use, if milk is observed in the tubing.
• If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
• Do not use the Medela Symphony breast pump kit with a non-compatible breast pump.
• Do not use the breast pump kit for any other purpose than expressing breast milk.
• Separate and wash all parts that come in contact with breast milk immediately after use
to avoid dry up of breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
• Portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can affect the
Symphony breast pump.
• The Symphony breast pump needs special precautions regarding EMC (Electromagnetic
compatibility) and needs to be installed and put into service according to the
EMC information provided in these instructions for use.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breast pump, kit and
breasts and avoid touching the inside of containers or lids.
• Pressing shields too firmly onto breasts may affect milk flow.
• Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning.
• Unplug breast pump before cleaning.
• Contact your healthcare professional or lactation professional if you can only express
only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful.
• 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.
