The intended use and indications of breast pumps
Breast pumps are intended to be used by lactating women in the hospital or home
environment for expressing breast milk. Breast pumps are indicated to alleviate the
symptoms of engorgement by expressing milk. In cases of mastitis, breast pumps
support the healing process by removing breast milk from the affected breast.
Breast pumps are indicated to relieve sore and cracked nipples and to bring out at or
inverted nipples. Also, breast pumps enable mothers to provide breast milk for babies
who cannot feed directly at the breast for a variety of reasons, such as latch-on
problems, cleft palate or premature babies.
Intended patient population / user
Adolescent paediatric or adult lactating women. Many women nd it convenient,
or even necessary, to use a breast pump to express and store their breast milk once
they have returned to work, if they are travelling, or are otherwise separated from their
babies. Women are often delighted to learn that a breast pump can be used as a
supplement to breastfeeding and that some pumps are designed to mimic the sucking
of a nursing baby.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications for the Symphony* breast pump.
Product description
The Symphony multi-user breast pump is provided with the Symphony PLUS program
card, which generates the pump suction patterns. The program card contains two
pump programs. The goal of the INITIATE program is to initiate milk production with
Medela’s initiation technology. The MAINTAIN program is designed to build and
maintain milk production with the 2-Phase Expression technology.
In some cases, the Symphony breast pump is provided with the Standard program
card to generate the pump suction patterns. This program is designed to build and
maintain milk production with 2-Phase Expression technology. While the Standard card
can be used to initiate lactation, Medela recommends using the INITIATE program of
the Symphony PLUS program card.
The 2-Phase Expression technology mimics the baby’s natural sucking rhythm. Short,
stimulating cycles in the stimulation phase are followed by longer ones in the expres-
sion phase.
