Cut-out

1Snap white membranes onto yellow valves until membranes lie completely flat.

Be sure to separate membranes and valves when cleaning.

2Push valves into place on the Connectors.

3If using the 1-piece breast- shield, go to step #4. Insert the small end of the PersonalFit breastshield into the small end of the Connector. (Prior to cleaning, separate these two pieces.)

4Screw Containers onto breast- shield or use disposable Collection Storage and Freezing (CSF) Bags, article #87010 or #87013 (Sold separately).

6Screw barrier/filter into pump connector until snug.

NOTE: The barrier/filter is designed to inhibit overflow into the ClassicElectric Breastpump. The filter is hydrophobic; air will pass through the filter, but liquid will

not. If liquid comes in contact with the filter, it will become impermeable and will work again only after it has been washed and dried. You may clean the filter by rinsing it in warm water. DO NOT USE SOAP TO CLEAN THE FILTER. DO NOT USE ANYTHING ABRA- SIVE. DO NOT TOUCH THE WHITE FABRIC PART OF THE FILTER. Air drying the filter will take approximately 2-3 hours. A hair dryer reduces drying time to approxi- mately 10 minutes.

7 Push the pump connector into the opening on the container holder. If your pump does not have a container holder, go to step #9.

8 Rotate the pump connector to the right, making sure the tab on the pump connector fits securely into the container holder slot.

Lactina and Classic Breast Pump General Instructions specifications

The Medela Lactina and Classic Breast Pumps are trusted and reliable tools for mothers who wish to nourish their infants with breast milk. Designed with efficiency and ease of use in mind, these pumps offer key features and advanced technologies that cater to the needs of breastfeeding mothers.

One of the main features of the Medela Lactina and Classic Breast Pumps is their hospital-grade performance. These pumps are engineered to provide a powerful yet gentle pumping experience, which helps in maintaining or increasing milk supply. The two-phase expression technology mimics a baby's natural sucking pattern—starting with quick, light sucks to stimulate milk flow, followed by deeper, slower sucks to extract milk efficiently. This helps mothers pump more milk in less time, making the process more effective and convenient.

Portability and ease of use are also important characteristics of these breast pumps. The Lactina model is lightweight and can be operated using an AC adapter or a rechargeable battery, allowing mothers to pump discreetly and comfortably in various settings. The Classic breast pump, although slightly less portable, is appreciated for its simplicity and reliability. Both pumps feature a user-friendly interface, making it easy for mothers to adjust suction levels and settings according to their comfort.

Another important technology integrated into these pumps is the adjustable vacuum settings. Mothers can customize the level of suction to find what feels best for them, ensuring a more comfortable pumping experience. The Medela Lactina also boasts an innovative overflow protection system that prevents milk from backing up into the motor, maintaining the hygiene and durability of the pump.

Hygiene plays a crucial role in the design of Medela's breast pumps. Both the Lactina and Classic models feature a closed system, which means that the milk does not enter the tubing or the pump itself. This not only protects the pump from contamination but also simplifies the cleaning process, making it easier for mothers to maintain proper hygiene.

In summary, the Medela Lactina and Classic Breast Pumps stand out for their hospital-grade performance, two-phase expression technology, portability, comfort settings, and hygiene features. These pumps are designed to support mothers in their breastfeeding journey, making them a preferred choice for those looking to express breast milk efficiently and conveniently. Whether at home or on the go, these pumps provide the necessary support to ensure that both mothers and babies benefit from breast milk nourishment.
