If There Is No Vacuum
If you do not feel any vacuum at the breast or if the pumping
action is too weak:
•
Check that the breastshield forms a complete seal
around the breast.
•
Check to see that the membrane is securely attached to
the valve on the underside of the breastshield. Ensure that
membrane is clean and that the flap is moveable and not
dried onto the valve head.
•
For single pumping, check whether the second connection
on the pump has been closed.
•
Check that the gaskets are clean and dry.
•
Check with fresh batteries or electrical if not powering unit
with batteries.
•
Check that the connector tube is firmly plugged into the
breastshield.
* See page 4, “#3 Air-Dry” for further information on drying tubing.
