Pumping Modes and Levels

The HORIGEN E4 breast pump offers 3 distinct modes and 9 adjustable levels to customize your pumping experience and maximize milk efficiency:

• Expression Mode: Provides deep and slow suction for efficient milk expression.
• Mixed Mode: Combines stimulation and expression patterns (e.g., 5 times stimulation plus 5 times expression) for an ideal pumping rhythm.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HORIGEN E4 breast pump, consider the following common solutions:

• No Suction or Weak Suction:
  • Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and securely sealed. A common issue is the diaphragm or silicone valve not being properly seated.
  • Check for any damage to the silicone parts (flange, diaphragm, valve) that might compromise the seal.
  • Verify the pump motor is fully charged.
  • Confirm the correct flange size is being used for optimal fit.
• Milk Leakage:
  • Ensure the milk collector is securely attached to the pump motor and the breast shield.
  • Check that the flange is properly aligned and sealed against the breast.
  • Avoid bending over excessively while pumping, as this can cause spillage.
• Pump Not Turning On:
  • Ensure the pump is fully charged.
  • Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to activate.
• App Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure the pump is turned on before attempting to connect via the app.
  • Check your phone's Bluetooth settings and ensure it's enabled.
  • Restart both the pump and the app.
