User risk

There are no known contraindications.

Safety regulations: Only use the pumpset if it is clean (Sections 6 and 7). Check the pumpset for damage after cleaning.
According to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices, any serious incidents that occur in connection with the product must be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authorities of the Member State in which the user resides.

Assembling the pumpset

Assemble as illustrated. Attach the adapter tube cover so that both marks match up and then rotate to the right.

Important: Boil before first use (see the section ‘Cleaning at home’) and check whether the flexible membrane pot is intact with the smooth side facing outwards.

Insert the active Optiflow massage insert into the 31 mm breast shell and pull the edge of the insert, but not the lug on the top edge, over the breast shell.

Cleaning at home

Manual cleaning
Before using for the first time and after each time it is used:

Dismantle the pumpset into its individual parts.
Rinse for at least 1 minute using cold tap water.
Clean the components of the pumpset with commercial detergent and warm water (not over +40°C / 104 °F) and rinse with cold tap water. Make sure that all detergent residues are removed.
A soft brush can also be used for heavy soiling.

ATTENTION! Do not clean the lip valve with the brush.

Allow all parts of a clean surface to air dry.

Manual disinfection

1x daily after manual cleaning

Make sure there is enough water in the pot in order to prevent damage/deformation.
Boil the parts for 5 minutes.
Allow the parts to cool down and dry on a clean surface.

Check the individual parts for cracks and changes to the surface according to the cleaning and disinfection process. If you discover any changes, dispose of the part affected and replace with a new one.
The illustrated parts can be wiped down with a cloth as needed. It is not necessary to flush the tube.

Do not boil the bottle holder.

Cleaning in hospitals (only for the Clinic Pumpset)
Sterilise the disassembled pumpset at 121°C (250°F) for 20 min / 134°C (273°F) for 5 min.

Use

Wash your hands thoroughly. Sit in a comfortable and relaxed position.

Expressing with one pumpset

Connect the pumpset to the Ardo breastpump.
Centre your nipple so that it moves freely in the breast shell (breast shell insert) when pumping.
Switch the breastpump on.
Expressing with a double pumpset
Connect the second pumpset to the Ardo breastpump.
Procedure for the Ardo Carum, Ardo Alyssa and
Ardo Bellis breastpumps: Place a pumpset on the breast, switch the pump on and place the second pumpset on the other breast. Alternatively, you can also attach both pumpsets at the same time.
Procedure for the Ardo Calypso breastpump: Attach both pumpsets at the same time (see illustration). Switch the pump on and hold each pumpset separately in your hands.

Choosing a breast shell and Optiflow massage insert If your nipple rubs uncomfortably on the inside of the funnel, use a larger breast shell (breast shell insert).
If the areola is also sucked into the funnel, use a smaller breast shell. The Optiflow can only be used with the 31 mm breast shell. Store the Optiflow insert protected from light (silicone).

Storing breast milk

Recommended storage time at room temperature: up to 4 hours at 25°C (77°F); in the refrigerator: up to 4 days at 4°C (40°F); in the freezer compartment with door: 6 months up to 1 year at -18°C (0°F).

ATTENTION: Do not put more than 150 ml of breast milk in the bottle because milk expands when it freezes. Do not heat breast milk in the microwave.

Possible problems and troubleshooting

Weak or no vacuum:

Ensure that the pumpset is correctly assembled and is not damaged.
Check if the lip valve is cracked or stuck together.
Check if the flexible membrane pot is intact with the smooth side facing outwards.
Ensure that the adapter tube cover forms a tight seal.

Pain when pumping:

Ensure that the nipple is in the middle of the breast shell.
Check that the breast shell size is right for your nipples.
Check that the vacuum intensity is not set too high.
Contact a professional for help.

If you have problems with breastfeeding, please contact your midwife, lactation consultant or doctor.
