Setup Instructions
Before first use, and after each subsequent use, it is crucial to clean and sterilize all parts that come into contact with breast milk. Refer to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section for detailed instructions.
- Disassemble: Carefully separate all components of the collection cups. This typically includes the cup body, silicone diaphragm, and valve.
- Clean: Wash all disassembled parts in warm soapy water. Use a soft brush to clean hard-to-reach areas. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Sterilize: Sterilize the parts using one of the recommended methods (boiling, steam sterilization, or cold water sterilization). Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.
- Assemble:
- Insert the silicone valve firmly into the valve base of the cup.
- Place the silicone diaphragm securely onto the cup body, ensuring a tight seal.
- Attach the assembled collection cup to your Youha The Ins - Gen 1 or Youha The NEXT breast pump according to your pump's specific instructions. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks and maintain suction.
Operating Instructions
Once the collection cups are properly assembled and attached to your Youha breast pump, you are ready to begin your pumping session.
- Positioning: Place the collection cups over your breasts, ensuring your nipple is centered in the flange opening. The cups are designed to fit discreetly inside your bra for hands-free pumping.
- Start Pumping: Turn on your Youha breast pump and select your desired suction level and mode (stimulation or expression).
- Monitor Milk Flow: Observe the milk flowing into the collection cups. The clear material and measurement markings allow you to easily track the volume of milk collected.
- End Session: When you have finished pumping, turn off your breast pump. Carefully remove the collection cups from your breasts.
- Transfer Milk: Detach the collection cups from the pump. Carefully pour the collected breast milk into a sterile storage bottle or bag.
Important: Always ensure a comfortable fit and proper seal to maximize milk expression and prevent discomfort.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for hygiene and the longevity of your Youha Collection Cups. All parts that come into contact with breast milk should be cleaned after each use.
Daily Cleaning:
- Disassemble: Separate all parts of the collection cup (cup body, silicone diaphragm, valve).
- Rinse: Rinse all parts under cold running water immediately after use to remove milk residue.
- Wash: Wash all parts in warm, soapy water using a clean brush dedicated for feeding equipment. Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned.
- Rinse Again: Rinse all parts thoroughly under clean running water to remove all soap residue.
- Dry: Air dry on a clean drying rack or use a clean cloth. Do not use paper towels as they may leave fibers. Ensure parts are completely dry before storing or reassembling.
Sterilization:
Sterilize parts at least once a day, or as recommended by your healthcare provider.
- Boiling: Place disassembled parts in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Ensure parts do not touch the bottom or sides of the pot to prevent damage.
- Steam Sterilizer: Use a dedicated steam sterilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Dishwasher: The Youha Collection Cups are dishwasher safe. Place parts on the top rack of your dishwasher. Use a gentle cycle and ensure they are not exposed to extreme heat that could warp the plastic.
Note: Regular sterilization helps maintain hygiene and prevents bacterial growth.
