1. Important safety information (cont.)
CAUTION
To avoid risk of contamination:
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching the breast pump, the pump set(s) and
breasts. Avoid touching the inside of containers or lids.
• Do not use the Symphony breast pump while sleeping or overly drowsy.
• Only use drinking-quality tap or bottled water for cleaning.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mould may develop.
To avoid health risk and reduce risk of injury:
• Only pump with the breast pump in an upright position.
• Pressing shields too firmly onto the breasts may affect the milk flow.
• Do not express with a vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). Pain, along with potential
breast and nipple trauma, may decrease the milk output.
• Do not attempt to remove the breast shield from the breast while pumping. Turn the breast pump off and
break the seal between the breast and the breast shield with a finger, then remove the breast shield from
the breast.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal between breast and breast
shield with a finger and remove the breast shield from the breast.
• Do not shorten the tubing between breast shield and pump.
• Do not use abrasive washing-up liquids/detergents when cleaning the breast pump, pump components or
pump set parts.
• Never put the pump unit in water or in a steriliser, as this can cause permanent damage to the breast
pump.
• Do not use Medela Symphony pump sets with non-compatible breast pumps.
• Do not use the Medela Symphony pump sets for any other purpose than expressing breast milk.
NOTICE
• Plastic bottles and component parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.
• Also, bottles and component parts may become damaged if mishandled, e.g. dropped, over-tightened,
or knocked over.
• Take appropriate care in handling bottles and components.
• Do not use the breast milk if bottles or components show signs of damage.
