"Pay attention to the following: • Take appropriate care in handling bottles and components: • Plastic bottles and parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped. • Bottles and parts may become damaged if mishandled (e.g., dropped, over-tightened, or knocked over). • Do not use the breast milk from bottles or components that show signs of damage. To keep the pump parts clean and hygienic: • Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use. This will help to remove breast milk residue and prevent the growth of bacteria. • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. • Only use drinking-quality tap water or bottled water for cleaning. • Do not place pump parts directly in the sink to rinse or wash. Use a clean wash basin used only for infant feeding items. • Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry. • Do not use disinfectants for cleaning. Pay attention to the following: • Take care not to damage parts of the pump set during cleaning. • Store the dried pump set in a clean bag/container until next use. • Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop. • If you notice a white residue on the parts after boiling, your water may have a high mineral content. Remove residue by wiping parts with a clean towel and allow to air dry. • Distilled water is recommended when boiling parts to prevent substantial mineral build-up overtime, which may compromise your parts. If the tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing (available for purchase separately). Do not use the device with wet tubing; doing so will damage it. To prevent damage to the pump unit all components must be completely dry before use. In case of pain or insufficient milk expression: • Do not hold the pump set by the bottle. This can lead to compression and blockage of the milk ducts and engorgement. • Do not try to express with the vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). The pain, along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output. • Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or no milk or if the expression is painful." "To avoid fire, electric shock, or serious burns: • Only use the power adapter and cable that comes with the device. An inadequate power source or cable may result in a fire hazard, electric shock or malfunction of the device. • Never operate an electrical device if it has a damaged cord or plug if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. If damage is found, immediately discontinue the use of the power adapter and call Medela Customer Service. • Do not use an electrical product that has been exposed to water or other liquids including: – Do not use while bathing or showering. – Never place or drop into water or other liquids. – Do not run water over the pump unit. – If an electrical product has been exposed to water or other liquids, do not touch, unplug the device from an electrical outlet, turn it off and contact the manufacturer To avoid health risks and reduce the risk of severe injury: • Do not use the device while operating a moving vehicle. • Pumping can induce labour. Do not pump until after giving birth. If you become pregnant while breastfeeding or breast pumping, consult with a licensed healthcare professional before continuing. • If infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast milk. • Wash all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk after every use. • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children up to 14 years) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. • Children must not play with the appliance. • Cleaning and maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision.
