3. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, ensure all parts that come into contact with breast milk are sterilized and correctly installed. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling pump parts.

3.1 Flange Sizing

Correct flange sizing is crucial for comfort and efficient milk expression. Use the provided nipple ruler to measure your nipple diameter. The flange tunnel should be 2-4mm larger than your nipple diameter after a pumping session. Inserts are provided for smaller sizes.

3.2 Assembling the Bottle Collection Set

1. Insert the duckbill valve firmly into the bottom of the connector piece.
2. Place the diaphragm onto the top of the connector piece, ensuring a tight seal.
3. Screw the bottle onto the bottom of the connector piece.
4. Attach the flange to the top of the connector piece.
5. Connect one end of the tubing to the connector on the diaphragm.
6. Connect the other end of the tubing to the pump motor (left or right port).

3.3 Assembling the Wearable Collection Cups

1. Insert the duckbill valve firmly into the bottom of the flange.
2. Attach the flange to the collection cup, ensuring the ridge of the flange aligns with the groove on the cup for a secure fit.
3. Press the seal plug firmly into the top of the flange.
4. Attach the upper cover onto the diaphragm, ensuring it is sealed well.
5. Connect one end of the tubing (without the connector) to the port on the upper cover.
6. Connect the other end of the tubing (with the connector) to the pump motor (left or right port).

• Multitronic Mode (Variable Frequency): Designed to get more milk by varying frequency.
• Massage Mode (Gentle Stimulation): Gentle stimulation to initiate milk flow and let-down.
• Suck Simulate Mode (Natural Sucking): Simulates a baby's natural sucking pattern.
• Express Mode (Slow and Deep Sucking): Slow and deep suctions to empty the breast efficiently.
• Suction Levels: Adjust from 1 to 9 using the '+' and '-' buttons for vacuum intensity.
• Speed Settings: Adjust from 1 to 5 using the '+' and '-' buttons for cycle speed.

4.3 VibeRelief Massage Micro-Vibration Technology

This unique technology provides gentle micro-vibrations during pumping, mimicking a baby's natural rhythm. It helps to:

• Relax breast tissue and relieve blockages.
• Reduce discomfort and pain during pumping.
• Promote a smoother let-down and consistent milk flow.
• Increase overall milk output.

5. Pumping Session Guidelines

For optimal results, follow these general guidelines for your pumping sessions:

• Preparation: Ensure your breast is clean and relaxed. Use a warm compress or gentle massage before attaching the pump.
• Attachment: Place the flange firmly against your breast, ensuring your nipple is centered in the tunnel. There should be no gaps to maintain suction. For wearable cups, ensure they are securely placed within your bra.
• Starting: Begin in Massage Mode for 1-2 minutes to initiate let-down.
• Expression: Switch to Express Mode or a combination mode (e.g., Multitronic or Suck Simulate) that feels comfortable and effectively empties your breast. Adjust suction and speed as needed.
• Duration: A typical pumping session lasts 15-20 minutes, or until your breast feels empty. This may vary per individual.
• Ending: Before removing the pump, gently break the suction seal by inserting a finger between the flange and your breast. Lean forward to allow any remaining milk to flow into the collection container.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for hygiene and pump longevity.

• After Each Use: Disassemble all parts that come into contact with breast milk. Wash them with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Sterilization: Sterilize all milk-contacting parts at least once a day.
• Pump Motor and Tubing: The pump motor and tubing should not come into contact with breast milk. If milk accidentally enters the tubing or motor, clean the tubing with a damp cloth and wipe the motor. Do not immerse the motor in water.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your NCVI 8132 breast pump, refer to these common solutions:

• No Suction or Weak Suction:
  • Check that all pump parts are correctly assembled and sealed tightly. Loose connections can cause suction loss.
  • Ensure the duckbill valves are clean and not torn or damaged. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify the tubing is securely connected to both the collection set and the pump motor, and that there are no kinks.
  • Confirm the flange size is correct for your nipple. Incorrect sizing can lead to discomfort and reduced suction.
• Milk Backflow into Tubing:
  • Ensure the diaphragm is correctly installed and not damaged. The diaphragm acts as a barrier to prevent milk from entering the tubing.
  • Keep the collection bottle/cup upright during pumping.
• Pump Not Turning On:
  • Check the battery level. Recharge the pump motor using the provided USB-C cable.
  • Ensure the power button is long-pressed to activate the pump.
