Step-by-Step Guide to Using Your Signature Pro Pump
- Step 1: Clean and Assemble the Parts: Wash your hands, then clean all pump parts that contact milk (bottles, flanges, valves, membranes) in hot, soapy water or the dishwasher. Assemble the valve and membrane onto the back of the flange, then attach the bottle to the flange. Check that the membrane sits flat and the valve is secure; a loose valve can reduce suction.
- Step 2: Connect Tubing and Power: Connect one end of the tubing to the pump unit and the other end to the flange assembly. Plug the power adapter into the pump and a wall outlet, or use batteries if you need portability. Make sure the tubing isn't kinked or blocked, as this can affect suction strength.
- Step 3: Position the Flanges: Center the flange over your nipple, ensuring the nipple is pulled straight into the tunnel. Use the soft, flexible ComfortFit flange to create a gentle seal without pressing too hard. If the flange feels too tight or too loose, check that you are using the correct flange size—Lansinoh offers different sizes for a better fit.
- Step 4: Start Pumping: Press the power button to turn on the pump. Use the up/down buttons to adjust suction level and cycle speed. Start with a low suction and gradually increase to a comfortable level. Pump for 15-20 minutes per session, or until milk flow slows. Common mistake: starting with too high suction can cause pain and reduce output. Always begin low and increase slowly.
- Step 5: Stop and Store Milk: When done, press the power button to turn off the pump. Disconnect the tubing and remove the bottle. Cap the bottle with a lid and label it with the date. Store milk in the refrigerator or freezer according to guidelines. Do not leave milk at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Use the tote bag to keep bottles cool while traveling.
- Step 6: Clean and Dry All Parts: Disassemble all parts and rinse them with cool water, then wash in hot, soapy water. Air dry on a clean towel or drying rack. Store the pump and parts in the tote bag for next use. Avoid using antibacterial soaps or bleach, which can leave residue. A simple dish soap works best.
