Storing Expressed Milk - Suavinex Link Gebrauchsanweisungen

4. EXPrESSINg BrEAST MILK
Once the breast pump is clean and dry and all its parts are correctly assembled, it can be used to express
milk by connecting it to the mains or inserting batteries.
We recommend adopting a relaxed, comfortable position.

Stimulation phase
Blue LED Flashing green LED
Level 1 minimum
The expression process consists of 2 phases (FIG H):
1- Stimulation phase: the purpose is to gently massage the breast to encourage milk let-down (blue LED)
2- Expression phase: once the milk starts to flow, this process is kept up continually, mimicking the rate of
the baby's sucking (green LED)
The LED on the pump unit will indicate the phase or pumping level.
The electric breast pump has 11 pumping levels, level 1 being the lowest and level 11 the maximum.
1- For the pump to work properly it

must be in an upright position.
2- Place the breastshield on the
breast so that it fits perfectly without
leaving any gaps that might let air in,
thus creating a vacuum. (FIG I)
3- Turn the regulator on the upper
body to the "0" position (MIN)
(FIG J)

4- Start the electric pump with a
long press of the power button (hold
for about 3 seconds). (FIG K1)
The blue LED will come on. (FIG K2)
· IMPorTANT:
Never lay the breast pump down while pumping, as milk could flow back into the upper body (5), entering the
tubing (13) and damaging the pump unit.

BLUE: Stimulation (massage) phase
1- When the pump is switched on, the stimulation phase begins. It last for 2 minutes, or until milk starts to
flow.
2- You can change the massage suction strength by turning the regulator on the upper body (FIG J). During
the stimulation phase the suction speed (+/- buttons on the pump unit) cannot be changed.
3- If you need a longer massage time once the stimulation phase has ended, it can be started again with two
short presses of the power button.
GREEN: Expression phase
4- Once the milk starts to flow, select the power button with one short press (FIG K1). This ends the
stimulation phase and starts the expression phase (the LED will change colour from blue to flashing green).
This phase starts with the fastest suction speed (level 1).
5- The suction speed can be increased or decreased by pressing the (+ /-) buttons until you reach the most
comfortable rate (FIG L3). The green light will remain constant (level 2 to 10) until you reach the fastest speed,
when it will start flashing again to show that you have reached the maximum level (FIG L4 – L5).
6- Regulate the suction strength using the regulator on the upper body (5) until you reach the most
comfortable position that best suits your needs (FIG J).

5. STORING EXPRESSED MILK

Having expressed the milk, it needs to be stored:
1- Unscrew the bottle from the breast pump. (FIG M)
2.1- Place the white sealing disc on the bottle between the bottle and the screw ring and screw on tightly. (FIG N)
2.2- If you prefer, the milk can be stored in breast milk storage bags. To do this pour the milk into a storage
bag instead of keeping it in the bottle.
3- The milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer, in the bottle itself or in Suavinex breast milk storage bags.

· NoTE:
When feeding your baby, use the milk that has been kept for longest first. We recommend making a note of the
expression date on the storage bag so that you know which one to use first.
