Momcozy M9 Wearable Breast Pump User Manual

1. Product Introduction

The Momcozy wearable breast pump is designed for breastfeeding mothers to express and collect milk from their breasts. The Momcozy wearable breast pump creates a vacuum around the nipple to express breast milk. The milk is collected in a milk collector. The device features a stimulation mode, an expression mode, and a mixed mode. In stimulation mode, the breast pump starts with a fast and short suction pattern to get the milk flowing. In expression mode, the pump starts with a slow and deep suction pattern to express milk. In mixed mode, the breast pump starts with a fast and short suction pattern, then switches to a slow and long pattern. To prevent milk from flowing into the vacuum system, the milk collection set includes a silicone membrane that physically separates the milk path from the vacuum system. The device is intended for single user use.

6.1 Battery Charging

Ensure the product is charged before using it for the first time. The breast pump is powered by an internal rechargeable lithium battery. Our product is packed with a charging cable (USB 2.0/Type-C line), but not with a power adapter. You must purchase a power adapter yourself before you can charge. Ensure you purchase a power adapter that fits the USB 2.0 port. Also, ensure the power adapter's input power is AC 100~240V 50/60 Hz and the output power is DC 5V 2A.

• When the first battery indicator light blinks, it means the battery is nearly depleted and there are 30 minutes of usage time remaining. Ensure you charge the device in time.
• After the device is fully charged, it can be used for 4-5 sessions (around 150 minutes) of pumping, 30 minutes per session.

Warning

The breast pump cannot be used while charging! The charging cable is used only as a connection between the power adapter and the Momcozy wearable breast pump unit for charging. Do not connect other equipment with the cable, as it may cause electric shock!

• Immediately stop using the power adapter if the power adapter's casing loosens, separates, or becomes frayed. Contact the power adapter manufacturer.
• Immediately stop using the charging cable if it is damaged, broken, or kinked. Contact the manufacturer and replace it with a new one (see the last page of the manual for contact information).
• Immediately stop using the device if you observe smoke or fire from the pump unit or power adapter.

Warning:

If you use the wrong type of adapter or purchase a low-quality one, it can reduce the device's safety and may cause damage to property and health. Purchase a medical-grade adapter that meets IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards in the professional medical market. Ensure the power adapter output is DC 5V 2A.

Notes:

• If the battery has a shorter usage time than before after being fully charged and you wish to replace it, do not attempt to replace the rechargeable battery yourself. Contact the manufacturer to have it replaced. Disassembling and replacing the battery yourself can cause damage to the main unit and the battery.
• When the product is not in use for a long time, the battery will slowly discharge. Charge the device every three months to prevent battery damage due to low voltage over time.

6.2 Cleaning and Disinfection

6.2.1 General Description/Terms

Providing breast milk is one of the best things you can do for your baby's health and development. Pumping milk is a way to ensure your baby receives breast milk. Keeping the pump clean is crucial. Bacteria grow rapidly in breast milk and milk residue that adheres to the pump parts. Following these steps can prevent contamination and protect your baby from infection. If your baby was born prematurely or has other health challenges, healthcare professionals may have additional recommendations for safe breast milk pumping.

1) BEFORE EACH USE

Inspect and assemble a clean pump set. Clean the pump motor with disinfecting wipes.

2) AFTER EACH USE

Store milk safely: Use breast milk storage bags or clean, food-grade containers to store excess breast milk. Ensure containers are made of glass or plastic and have tight-fitting lids. Label them with the date and time and immediately place them in the refrigerator, freezer, or cooler bag with ice packs. Clean the pump area: Clean the dial, power switch, and countertop with disinfecting wipes.

3) Parts requiring cleaning and sterilization

Clean and sterilize all parts that come into contact with the breast and breast milk before using the breast pump for the first time and after each use.

• Parts that come into contact with milk: parts of the milk collection set including the breast flange, membrane, valve, and milk collector.
• Parts that only come into contact with skin on the breast: Breast flange.

4) Before cleaning/disinfection:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
2. Disassemble the parts as follows:

Warning:

Never immerse the main unit, charging cable, or adapter (if purchased) in water or a dishwasher. This will cause permanent damage to these parts.

6.2.2 Cleaning and Sterilization of Parts in Contact with Milk

Step 1: Cleaning

Clean the device manually! It has not been verified that it is safe to use a dishwasher for cleaning and disinfecting the product.

Warning

Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaning agents to wash the pump parts. This can cause damage.

1) Gather these items:

• Soap and warm water
• Drinking quality water
• A clean wash basin used only for infant feeding items
• A clean brush used only for infant feeding items
• An unused dish towel or paper towel

2) Rinse:

Rinse the parts of the milk collection set and any other feeding items by holding them under running water to remove residual milk or dirt. The water can be warm or cold, depending on your preference.

3) Wash milk collection parts:

• Place the parts from the milk collection set in a clean container used only for infant feeding items. Do not wash directly in the sink, as it may contain bacteria that can contaminate these items.
• Soak the parts of the milk collection set in warm soapy water at 40-60 °C (104-140 °F) for 3-5 minutes.
• Use a clean brush used only for infant feeding items to scrub the parts.

4) Rinse again:

Rinse by holding the parts under running water or by soaking them in fresh water in a separate container used only for cleaning infant feeding items. If there is still dirt, repeat step 3 and rinse again until no visible dirt remains.

5) Air dry thoroughly:

Place the parts from the milk collection set, wash basin, and bottle brush on a clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust. Do not rub or pat the parts with a dish towel, as this can transfer bacteria to the parts!

6) Clean wash basin and bottle brush:

Rinse the wash basin and brush thoroughly and let them air dry after each use. Wash them every other day by hand with warm soapy water. Wash the container and bottle brush after each use if your baby is under three months old, is premature, or has a weakened immune system due to illness (such as HIV) or treatment (such as chemotherapy).

After cleaning:

Sterilize the milk collection set, wash basin, and bottle brush at least once a day after washing to ensure bacteria are removed. The parts can be disinfected using boiling water with sterilization settings. Disinfection is especially important if your baby is under three months old, is premature, or has a weakened immune system due to illness or medical treatment. See step 2 for disinfecting parts in contact with milk.

Step 2: Disinfection

Warning:

Do not sterilize pump parts in a microwave or UV sterilizer. High temperatures (> 110 °C) will shorten the service life and pose a safety risk.

Before disinfecting, ensure you have cleaned the milk collection set, bottle brush, and wash basin using the methods described above.

6.2.3 Cleaning / Disinfecting Other Parts

The main unit housing needs to be cleaned and sterilized before use and after each use. The other parts do not need to be in contact with the body or milk during pumping and only need to be cleaned when they are dirty. Clean/disinfect parts at room temperature 5 °C - 40 °C as described below:
