3.2 Caution
Failure to follow the instructions/safety information given below can lead to
minor injury. This information is subject to technical changes.
CAUTION: To avoid risk of contamination:
I Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching the breast pump,
the pump set(s) and breasts. Avoid touching the inside of containers or lids.
I Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning.
I Do not store wet or damp parts, as mould may develop.
CAUTION: To avoid health risks and reduce risk of injury:
I Pump only with the breast pump in an upright position.
I Pressing shields too firmly onto the breasts may affect the milk flow.
I Do not express with a vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). The
pain, along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease the milk output.
I Do not attempt to remove the breast shield from the breast while pumping. Turn the
breast pump off and break the seal between the breast and the breast shield with a
finger, then remove the breast shield from the breast.
I If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal
between the breast and the breast shield with a finger and remove the breast shield
from the breast.
I Do not shorten the tubing between the breast shield and the pump.
I Do not use abrasive washing-up liquids/detergents when cleaning the breast
pump, pump components or pump set parts.
I Never put the breast pump unit in water, as this can cause permanent damage
to the breast pump.
I Do not use Medela Symphony pump sets with a non-compatible breast pump.
I Do not use the Medela Symphony breast pump with non-compatible pump sets.
I Do not use the pump sets for any other purpose than expressing breast milk.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of electrocution:
I Plug the power cord into the breast pump first and then into the wall socket.
I Unplug the breast pump before cleaning it.
