CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:
• Do not expose the motor unit to direct sunlight.
• Separation from power is only assured through the disconnection of the power adaptor
from the wall socket outlet.
• If you feel pain in your breast or nipple, turn the pump off or slide a fi nger between the fl ange and
your breast to immediately break the suction.
• Contact a healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you experience
problems or pain.
• Portable and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can affect the Freestyle
Breastpump.
• Use only the power adaptor that comes with the Freestyle Breastpump or approved power
options on page 18.
• Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breastpump, kit and breasts and
avoid touching the inside of containers or lids.
• Separate and wash all parts that come in contact with breastmilk immediately after use to avoid
dry up of breastmilk residue and prevent growth of bacteria. Always inspect breastshields,
connectors, valves, membranes and tubing prior to use for cleanliness
• Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning your breast pump and parts.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing. Contact Medela Customer Service
at customer[email protected] or call 1-800-435-8316.
• Do not run pump with wet tubing. Doing so will harm the pump motor.
• While some discomfort may be felt when fi rst using a breastpump, using a breastpump should not
cause pain.
• If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast tissue
with the breastshield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care
TM
Lanolin may be benefi cial.
For assistance with correct breastshield sizing and comfort please visit www.medelabreastshields.
com or see a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or
no milk or if expression is painful. See Section 8 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.
• Do not hold the pump kit by the bottle. This can lead to blockage of the milk ducts and
engorgement.
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
• Do not microwave breastmilk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to baby’s mouth from hot
spots that develop in the milk during microwaving. (Microwaving can also change the composition
of breastmilk.)
