These components DO NOT come into contact with your breast milk. You can wipe the pump motor and control handle clean, using a soft cloth. l m a k Cleaning the pump bodies and breast milk storage components Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time before use, you must disassemble, wash and sterilise all the breast pump parts that come into contact with your breast milk. (See opposite). You can use the dishwasher (top rack only) or hand wash in warm, soapy water and then rinse thoroughly. Do not use antibacterial cleaners or detergents as they may cause the plastic to crack. b c p q d g r e s h t 5 your ISIS iQ DUOTM Sterilising the pump bodies and breast milk storage components Sterilise these parts in a steam steriliser (electric or microwave), or by boiling in water for 10 minutes. The AVENT electric and microwave steam sterilisers are specially designed to hold the ISIS breast pumps and the parts will remain sterile inside the steriliser for 3 hours, provided the lid is not removed. Keeping your pump sterile and compact for travel After sterilising all parts, clip the funnel cover (h) over the funnel and let-down massage cushion (g) and screw the travel cover (s) onto the pump body (d) in place of the milk container. s d g h 6 How to assemble your ISIS If you are single or double pumping ­ to assemble d c e 1 With clean hands, click the white valve (c) into the pump body (d) from the bottom making sure that the pointed side of the valve faces downwards. 2 Twist the milk container (e) onto the pump body until securely in place. f b 3 To ensure the pump doesn't topple, insert the milk container into the stand provided (f). 4 Place the silicone diaphragm (b) into the pump body (d), making sure it fits securely around the edge, to create a seal. (This is easier if the diaphragm is wet.) 7 iQ DUOTM the first pump: g a 5 Carefully insert the let-down massage cushionTM (g) into the pump body (d), making sure it completely covers the edge of the funnel. (This is easier if the let-down massage cushion is wet.) 6 Firmly push the control handle (a) onto the pump body (d) so that it sits securely on top of the silicone diaphragm (b). j k i 7 If not already attached, push the transparent tube ( j) securely onto the control handle (a) and click the control cable (i) into the adjacent socket. 8 Now attach the other end of the cable into the control cable socket on the rear of the pump motor (m) and securely connect the transparent tubes (k) to the ports above. 8 n 9 You can keep the other transparent tube out of the way for now by attaching it to the white clip. 10 Connect the electric adaptor (n) to the pump motor (m). o 11 Connect the wall plug lead (o) securely to the electric adaptor and then plug into an electrical wall socket. 12 Switch the pump motor on. 9 For double pumping ­ to assemble the twin pump: Follow steps 1-5 as before, then proceed to step 6 and 7 below: 1 2 3 4 5 l j 6 Push the double pumping connector (l) onto the 2nd pump body (d) so that it sits firmly on top of the silicone diaphragm (b). 7 If not already attached, push the 2nd transparent tube ( j) securely onto the double pumping connector (l). 10 How to use your ISIS iQ DUOTM Before you use your ISIS iQ DUO, make sure you have washed, sterilised and carefully assembled your pump exactly as described on pages 5-10. Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby as expressing can be thirsty work. A photograph of your baby will help too. To begin pumping Switch on your ISIS iQ DUO and the light on the top of the pump motor will flash GREEN rapidly (this is normal, it is your iQ breast pump conducting a `self test'). The light will then change to a continuous GREEN to indicate that the pump is ready to use. If at any time this light is flashing RED, stop and consult the `Troubleshooting guide' on pages 19-20. 1 Press the assembled control pump firmly against your breast to create a seal. Using the control handle you can find your exact comfort level. As you press down on the handle you will feel greater suction against your breast. You don't need to squeeze the handle fully, only as far as feels comfortable for you. 2 11 Begin by gently squeezing the handle 5 or 6 times quite quickly, simulating the rapid suckling you usually feel when your baby is first put to the breast. Your milk will soon begin to flow and you can establish a slower, comfortable pumping pattern. Many mothers find that holding down the handle for 2 to 3 seconds at a time imitates the feeling of their baby breastfeeding. 3 When you have established a comfortable pumping rhythm with at least 2 squeezes, simply press the control button on the handle, and the ISIS iQ DUO will automatically continue in the same way. The light on the pump motor will turn from GREEN to ORANGE. Your pattern will now be stored in the pump's memory ­ even after the pump has been switched off! 4 To double pump Check that the pump is assembled exactly as described on page 10. When you're ready to double pump the second pump will already have learned your pumping pattern, all you have to do is hold it against your other breast and create a seal, just as you did with the controller pump. Or if you prefer you can start with both pumps against your breasts. 5 12 To change your pumping rhythm If at any time you want to change your pumping rhythm, press the control button again and the pump will revert to manual fingertip control. The light will turn back to GREEN. You can now pump manually until you are comfortable again. Then press the control button again and ISIS IQ will continue your chosen rhythm. To stop pumping If at any time the suction becomes uncomfortable or if you want to stop pumping, press the control button and break the seal between the breast and the pump body with your finger. You can then turn the pump motor off. To collect your milk After you have expressed your milk, unscrew the pump body from the milk container. If you're using AVENT milk containers, insert a sealing disc into the locking ring (r) and twist it onto the milk container. If you're using VIA, unscrew the adaptor and screw a lid onto the cup. On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-120ml/2-4ozs from each breast. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 120ml/4oz per session, please use a 260ml/9oz AVENT milk container. Do not overfill the milk container and be sure to keep it upright, otherwise it may leak from below the pump body. 13 Hints to help you succeed Using a breast pump takes practice. You may need to make several attempts before you succeed, but because the ISIS iQ DUOTM is so simple and comfortable to use, you will soon get used to expressing milk. 1. Choose a quiet time when you're not rushed and unlikely to be disturbed. 2. Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help encourage your milk to flow. 3. Warmth and relaxation can help so you might like to try expressing after a warm bath or shower. 4. Placing a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before you start pumping can also encourage your milk flow and soothe painful breasts. 5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding on the other, or continue expressing just after a feed. 6. Repositioning the pump on your breasts from time to time can help stimulate your milk ducts. 7. Some women may prefer to use the pump without the let-down massage cushion. However, it has been shown that, in most cases, the massaging effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the let-down reflex and allows you to express more milk, more quickly. 8. To relieve engorgement, we recommend gentle and slow single pumping to relieve the pressure. Practice with your pump to find the best pumping techniques for you. Don't worry if your milk doesn't flow immediately, relax and continue pumping. BUT if after five minutes no result is achieved try again at another time. If expressing becomes painful, stop and consult your breastfeeding advisor. 14 Using your ISIS iQ DUOTM as w v Your ISIS iQ DUO can also be used as a single manual pump.
