Important safety information (cont.)
CAUTION
To avoid health risks and reduce the risk of injury:
• Clean and sanitise all parts that come into contact with your breast
and breast milk prior to first use.
• Only use Medela recommended parts with your Freestyle Flex
breast pump.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break
the seal between the breast and the breast shield with your finger
and remove the breast shield from your breast.
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump,
using a breast pump should not cause pain. If you are unsure about
correct breast shield sizing please visit
www.medela.com
or see a
lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist who can help you get
a proper fit.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if
you can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful.
See
chapter 6
for more information.
NOTICE
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.
