It is an essential component of effective pumping, helping to optimise milk flow. For more information on breast shield sizing and other available sizes,visit www.medela.com/fittingguide.6.2 Selecting the right programThe Symphony breast pump is installed with the Symphony PLUS program card, which contains two pump programs. The goal of the INITIATE program is to initiate milk production. The MAINTAIN program is designed to build and  maintain milk production.Until secretory activation (milk coming in) or a maximum of 5 days:Use the INITIATE program directly after birth until the mother has reached secretory activation:For fully pump-dependent mothers:This can be indicated by pumping at least 20 ml in total in each of her last three pumping sessions. If not all pumping volumes have been recorded, this can be indicated by other physiological markers of secretory activation, such as breast fullness.When the mother is breastfeeding and pumping:This can be indicated by other physiological markers of secretory activation, such as breast fullness ORThroughout the first five days. If milk production has not started after five days, change to the MAINTAIN program.After secretory activation (milk coming in):Use the MAINTAIN program after secretory activation:Once the mother has pumped at least 20 ml in total in each of her last three pumping sessions, ORBeginning on day six, whichever of the two options comes first.6.3 Operation: INITIATE programCAUTIONWash hands thoroughly (at least one minute) with soap and water before touching the breast, the clean pump and the clean pump set parts.

It is an essential component of effective pumping, helping to optimise milk flow. For more information on breast shield sizing and other available sizes,visit www.medela.com/fittingguide.6.2 Selecting the right programThe Symphony breast pump is installed with the Symphony PLUS program card, which contains two pump programs. The goal of the INITIATE program is to initiate milk production. The MAINTAIN program is designed to build and  maintain milk production.Until secretory activation (milk coming in) or a maximum of 5 days:Use the INITIATE program directly after birth until the mother has reached secretory activation:For fully pump-dependent mothers:This can be indicated by pumping at least 20 ml in total in each of her last three pumping sessions. If not all pumping volumes have been recorded, this can be indicated by other physiological markers of secretory activation, such as breast fullness.When the mother is breastfeeding and pumping:This can be indicated by other physiological markers of secretory activation, such as breast fullness ORThroughout the first five days. If milk production has not started after five days, change to the MAINTAIN program.After secretory activation (milk coming in):Use the MAINTAIN program after secretory activation:Once the mother has pumped at least 20 ml in total in each of her last three pumping sessions, ORBeginning on day six, whichever of the two options comes first.6.3 Operation: INITIATE programCAUTIONWash hands thoroughly (at least one minute) with soap and water before touching the breast, the clean pump and the clean pump set parts. Dry your hands with a fresh towel or a single-use paper towel.Refer to figure ¢1 on the foldout pages.Press the on/off button ( 1-01) to switch on the breast pump.The display text shows “INITIATE press ”.Press the “Let-down” button (1-03) within ten seconds.The display text will change to “INITIATE running”.Set the maximum comfort vacuum (see section 6.5).The bullets on the display show the vacuum level. The more bullets, the stronger the vacuum.The INITIATE program runs automatically for 15 minutes with stimulation, expression and pause phases Æ An acoustic signal indicates the end of the program. The display shows “Program complete“. The pumpswitches off automatically. It is important to complete the entire INITIATE program.NOTICEAlways disconnect the Symphony breast pump from the power source after expression.6.4 Operation: MAINTAIN programCAUTIONWash hands thoroughly (at least one minute) with soap and water before touching the breast, the clean pump and the clean pump set parts. Dry your hands with a fresh towel or a single-use paper towel.i InformationIf the pump has been running for 30 minutes without any manipulations (e.g. adjustment of the vacuum), the Symphony breast pump will automatically switch off.Refer to figure ¢1 on the foldout pages.Press the On/off button (1-01) to switch on the breast pump.The MAINTAIN program will automatically start with the stimulation phase after pressing the On/off button.Set the maximum comfort vacuum (see section 6.5).The drops on the display show the vacuum level. The more drops, the stronger the vacuum. The pump will automatically switch to the expression phase after two minutes.If the milk starts to flow sooner, press the Let-down button (1-03) to change to the expression phase.Set the maximum comfort vacuum (see section 6.5).The bars on the display show the vacuum level.

Centre the tubing connector in the recess in the pump housing (3-07).i InformationAlways close the lid when pumping. The lid keeps the membrane cap pushed down to prevent a loss of vacuum that could occur if the membrane cap came off.Close the lid (3-08).Expression6.1 Selecting the correct Medela breast shield sizeMake sure to use the correct breast shield size. It is an essential component of effective pumping, helping to optimise milk flow. For more information on breast shield sizing and other available sizes,visit www.medela.com/fittingguide.6.2 Selecting the right programThe Symphony breast pump is installed with the Symphony PLUS program card, which contains two pump programs. The goal of the INITIATE program is to initiate milk production. The MAINTAIN program is designed to build and  maintain milk production.Until secretory activation (milk coming in) or a maximum of 5 days:Use the INITIATE program directly after birth until the mother has reached secretory activation:For fully pump-dependent mothers:This can be indicated by pumping at least 20 ml in total in each of her last three pumping sessions. If not all pumping volumes have been recorded, this can be indicated by other physiological markers of secretory activation, such as breast fullness.When the mother is breastfeeding and pumping:This can be indicated by other physiological markers of secretory activation, such as breast fullness ORThroughout the first five days. If milk production has not started after five days, change to the MAINTAIN program.After secretory activation (milk coming in):Use the MAINTAIN program after secretory activation:Once the mother has pumped at least 20 ml in total in each of her last three pumping sessions, ORBeginning on day six, whichever of the two options comes first.6.3 Operation: INITIATE programCAUTIONWash hands thoroughly (at least one minute) with soap and water before touching the breast, the clean pump and the clean pump set parts. Dry your hands with a fresh towel or a single-use paper towel.Refer to figure ¢1 on the foldout pages.Press the on/off button ( 1-01) to switch on the breast pump.The display text shows “INITIATE press ”.Press the “Let-down” button (1-03) within ten seconds.The display text will change to “INITIATE running”.Set the maximum comfort vacuum (see section 6.5).The bullets on the display show the vacuum level. The more bullets, the stronger the vacuum.The INITIATE program runs automatically for 15 minutes with stimulation, expression and pause phases Æ An acoustic signal indicates the end of the program. The display shows “Program complete“. The pumpswitches off automatically. It is important to complete the entire INITIATE program.NOTICEAlways disconnect the Symphony breast pump from the power source after expression.6.4 Operation: MAINTAIN programCAUTIONWash hands thoroughly (at least one minute) with soap and water before touching the breast, the clean pump and the clean pump set parts. Dry your hands with a fresh towel or a single-use paper towel.i InformationIf the pump has been running for 30 minutes without any manipulations (e.g. adjustment of the vacuum), the Symphony breast pump will automatically switch off.Refer to figure ¢1 on the foldout pages.Press the On/off button (1-01) to switch on the breast pump.The MAINTAIN program will automatically start with the stimulation phase after pressing the On/off button.Set the maximum comfort vacuum (see section 6.5).The drops on the display show the vacuum level. The more drops, the stronger the vacuum. The pump will automatically switch to the expression phase after two minutes.If the milk starts to flow sooner, press the Let-down button (1-03) to change to the expression phase.Set the maximum comfort vacuum (see section 6.5).The bars on the display show the vacuum level. The more bars, the stronger the vacuum.Continue pumping until the breast feels well drained and soft all over (Medela recommends a pumping time of at least 15 minutes).Switch off the pump by pressing the on/off button (1-01).i InformationPress the “Let-down” button(1-03) to revert from the expression phase to the stimulation phase if necessary. If milk has not begun to flow after two successive stimulation phases, the mother should take a break and try again in 15 to 30 minutes. Also, she  could try breast massage and then pump using the expression phase.NOTICEAlways disconnect the Symphony breast pump from the power source after expression.6.5 Set maximum comfort vacuumSet the maximum comfort vacuum by rotating the vacuum adjustment knob ( ¢ 1-04).First rotate to the right to increase the vacuum until there is a slight discomfort.Then rotate to the left to reduce the vacuum until it is comfortable.6.6 Expression by single pumpingi InformationMedela recommends double pumping.Double pumping saves time and increases the energy content of milk. Milk production may be increased and maintained long term.For single pumping, step 7 of section 6.7 can be ommitted.Do not kink the tubing during expression.1. Prepare one bottle and pump set for expression.2. Mount only one Symphony cap on the breast pump (see section 5.4).3. Continue as described in section 6.7 step 3 for double pumping.6.7 Expression by double pumpingRefer to figures ¢1, 3, 4 on the foldout pages.Prepare two bottles and pump sets for expression.Mount the Symphony caps on the breast pump (see section 5.4) ( 3-07).Place the breast shield on the breast so that the nipple is properly centred in the tunnel (4-01).Hold the breast shield onto the breast with the thumb and index finger.
