If you experience discomfort while pumping contact a breastfeeding
specialist. You may need a larger size PersonalFit™ or SoftFit™

IF CONDENSATION APPEARS IN TUBING

To eliminate condensation after you have completed pumping, continue running the pump with the tubing(s) attached for another 1-2 minutes or until dry.

MILK BACKING UP IN TUBING

  1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
  2. Remove and disassemble the tubing. Wash in soapy water then rinse in cold clear water.
  3. Shake water droplets out and hang to air-dry. For faster drying, attach tubings to pump and run pump 1-2 minutes or until dry, or pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through the tubings to dry.
  4. Make sure that valve membranes are undamaged and clean. Replace if necessary.
