4. Precautionary Measures / Troubleshooting
The breastpump should only be used in a dust-free environment Do
not use or set the pump where it is exposed to direct sunlight or any
other source of heat
What to do when...
– the pump does not run when it is switched on:
Check whether the Lactina
®
breastpump is properly connected to
the electric supply Check the fuse Be sure that the pump is
plugged in
– pump action is too weak:
Suction strength can be adjusted using the vacuum regulator
Maximum suction is achieved by setting the pointer on the
regulator ring to MAX. If suction strength is still inadequate at this
setting, please check whether:
• the vacuum regulator ring has been turned beyond the stop, has
been displaced, is no longer a close fit or is dirty on the inside
• the rubber seal of the piston is seating correctly and is in good
condition
• the valve has been correctly fitted to the breastshield. Is the valve
membrane clean and closing properly when in resting position?
• the cylinder has been screwed tightly into the cylinder holder (or into
the breastshield in the case of manual operation)
• there is no leak in the tube connection between cylinder holder and
breastshield
• the breastshield fits closely to the breast.
– the vacuum cannot be regulated:
The two holes in the cylinder under the vacuum regulator ring may
be blocked with dirt Clean them using a brush and soapy water
The points listed above should also be checked
– the vacuum is not released at the end of the suction stroke:
The ventilation hole at the bottom of the cylinder may be blocked
with dirt; or the piston has not been drawn right to the end during
manual operation
– the piston does not return after the suction phase:
Check whether the suction circuit is blocked or whether there is a
kink in the tubing
