all parts are FULLY DRY
before assembly.
NB see important notes
below about the lip valve.
2) Take the breast shell
and screw it onto the
bottle.
3) Place the exible
membrane pot, smooth
side out, in the top of the
breast shell and press
down rmly.
4) Press the green top
on the breast shell and
attach the tubing onto
the back of the lid.
5) Line up the central
mark on the green top
with the mark on the
breast shell , and gently
turn the top to the right.

Operating the Calypso Breastpump
1) Connect the power adapter
to the back of the pump and
the pumpset/s to the front of
the pump unit.
2) Put the breastshell/s to the
breast. Switch on the pump
by pressing the on/o switch.
The green LED light will come
on. The vacuum & cycles are
set at the lowest level.

set the vacuum higher
and the cycles lower
Pumping Poem
3) Cycles is stimulation mode
- Brief massaging before
expressing will encourage
milk ow and stimulate the
milk ejection reex (let down).
Setting the cycles high and
the vacuum low will replicate
the rapid sucking and low
suction the baby does when
feeding.
4) Vacuum is expressing
mode - ONLY when ‘let down’
occurs and milk is released
do you increase the vacuum
and reduce the cycles. Find
the most comfortable level for
you. If your milk ow stops we
suggest you turn the pump
o, massage your breast
and restart again in the
stimulation mode (3).
IMPORTANT - vary
the cycles and
vacuum levels to
maintain the milk ow
and comfort, as this
mimics the natural
sucking rhythm of
the baby.
