Silicone Flange Sizing

  1. This wearable pump comes with a silicone pad in 24mm, if it doesn’t fit you well, please find the 21 mm or 28mm available through www.amazon.com/bellababy.
  2. Using silicone pad that doesn’t fit may lead to pain and injury. To determine the correct size, follow the below steps:Bellababy-BLA8042-Wearable-Breast-Pump-fig- \(21\)

Tip: Lanolin cream can be used for lubrication to reduce the likelihood of sore nipples

Note: Lactation Women’s bodies may change during the pumping life cycle, silicone pad in other size may become a better fit.

Aligning Your Nipples

Your nipple should be positioned correctly in the silicone pad tunnel before pumping to avoid discomfort and pain. There are no two nipples point in the same direction. Align the silicone pad to the direction of your nipples when you are putting it on.

Important Safeguards

When using electrical products, especially when children are present. basic safety precautions should always be followed.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrocution:

  • Do not use while bathing.
  • Do not place or store product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
  • Do not place or drop into water or other liquid.
  • Do not reach for a product if it has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.

WARNING: To avoid fire, electrocution, or serious bums:

  • Danger of electrocution1 Keep the device dry! Never immerse in water or other liquids! Do not run water over the pump.
  • The Bellababy breast pump and accessories are not heat-resistant: keep away from radiators and open flames.
  • Keep the power adaptor away from heated surfaces.
  • Do not reach for any electrical device if it has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.
  • The Bellababy breast pump should never be left unattended when plugged into a power source.
  • Never operate an electrical device if it has a damaged cord, plug or battery pack, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. If damage is found, immediately discontinue use of power adaptor or battery pack and contact with Bellababy Customer service team at service-us@bellababy-med.com.
  • Do not use the Bellababy breast pump while bathing or showering.
  • Close supervision is necessary when the Bellababy breast pump is used in the vicinity of children.
  • Only use the original charging cord with the Bella baby breast pump.
  • Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source.

WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:

  • Repairs must be performed only by an authorized service agency. Do not repair yourself! No modifications to the device are permitted.
  • Never use a damaged device. Replace damaged or worn parts.
  • Use the Bellababy breast pump only for its intended use as described in this manual.
  • Do not use the Bellababy breast pump while sleeping or overly drowsy.
  • This is a single user product. Use by more than one person may present a health risk.
  • Do not drive while pumping.
  • Inspect all appropriate pump components before each use.
  • Do not thaw frozen breast milk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
  • If any part becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace it.
  • Never use while pregnant, as pumping can induce labor.
  • Clean and sanitize all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk prior to first use.
  • Wash all parts that come into contact wrth your breast and breast milk after every use.
  • If you are a mother who is infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV), pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of transmrtting the virus to your baby through your breast milk.
  • Do not use the Bellababy breast pump while operating a moving vehicle.
  • The Bellababy breast pump should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Bellababy electric breast pump should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:

  • Do not expose the breast pump 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 finger between the flange 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 Bellababy breast pump.
  • Use only the power adaptor that is with no more than fN output voltage.
  • Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source.
  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching breast pump, kit and breasts and avoid touching the inside of containers or lids.
  • Separate and wash all parts that come in contact with breast milk immediately after use to avoid dry up of breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria. Always inspect breast shields, flanges, valves, membranes 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 any part becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace it. Contact Bellababy Customer Service at service-us@bellababy-med.com.
  • Do not run pump with wet parts. Doing so will harm the pump motor.
  • While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a breast pump should not cause pain.
  • If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast tissue with the breast shield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care TM Lanolin may be beneficial. For assistance with correct breast shield sizing and comfort please refer to the “Silicone flange sizing” or see a lactation consultanVbreastfeeding specialist.
  • Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful.
  • 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.
  • Do not thaw frozen breast milk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
  • Do not microwave breast milk Microwaving can cause severe bums to baby’s mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving.(Microwaving can also change the composition of breast milk)

---|---|---|---
Conducted RF IEC 61000-4-6| 3 Vrms 150 kHz to 80 MHz| 3 Vrms| Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should not be used closer to any part of the BLA8042/BLA8042-2, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Radiated RF IEC 61000-4-3| 3 V/m 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz| 6 V/m| Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

  • NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
  • NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio.(cellular/cordless telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the BLA8042/BLA8042-2 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above. The Medical BLA8042/BLA8042-2 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the BLA8042/BLA8042-2.
