Setup and Installation
- Inspect Components: Before each use, visually inspect the Portable Pump Linker for any signs of wear, damage, or foreign objects. Ensure all connection points are clear and intact.
- Clean Before First Use: Prior to initial use, thoroughly clean and sterilize the linker according to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" instructions.
- Connect to Pump: Identify the appropriate connection points on your electronic breast pump and the linker. Gently push the linker onto the pump's connector until a secure fit is achieved. Ensure there are no gaps that could lead to air leaks.
- Attach Accessories: Connect other breast pump accessories, such as tubing or collection bottles, to the remaining ports on the 3-way linker. Ensure all connections are firm and airtight for optimal suction.
- Verify Connection: Lightly tug on each connected component to confirm it is securely attached and will not detach during operation.
Operating Instructions
The Portable Pump Linker functions as an intermediary component to facilitate the connection of multiple parts of your breast pump system. Its operation is passive, meaning it does not require direct user interaction once installed. Ensure proper connection as described in the "Setup and Installation" section to achieve maximum suction power and an efficient pumping session.
- Ensure Proper Assembly: Before activating your breast pump, double-check that the linker and all associated components are correctly and securely assembled.
- Initiate Pumping: Operate your electronic breast pump according to its specific manufacturer's instructions. The linker will seamlessly integrate into the milk collection pathway.
- Monitor Performance: During pumping, observe for any signs of air leaks around the linker's connections, which could reduce suction efficiency. Adjust connections if necessary.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and the longevity of your Portable Pump Linker. The linker is constructed from durable ABS material, designed to withstand various sterilization methods.
- Disassembly: After each use, carefully disassemble the Portable Pump Linker from your breast pump system.
- Washing: Wash the linker immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush if necessary to reach all surfaces and remove any milk residue.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly under clean running water to remove all soap residue.
- Sterilization Methods:
- Boiling Water: Place the linker in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Ensure the linker is fully submerged and does not touch the bottom or sides of the pot to prevent damage.
- Steam Sterilization: Use a dedicated steam sterilizer or a microwave steam sterilizer bag according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Dishwasher (Top Rack): While generally safe, hand washing is recommended for optimal longevity. If using a dishwasher, place on the top rack only.
- Drying: Allow the linker to air dry completely on a clean surface or drying rack. Avoid using cloth towels, which can leave lint.
- Storage: Store the clean, dry linker in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
