FINDING A GOOD BREAST FLANGE FIT GOOD FIT During pumping, your nipple moves freely in the breast flange tunnel. You see space around the nipple. Not much areola is drawn into the tunnel with the nipple. TOO SMALL During pumping, some or all of your nipple rubs against the sides of the breast flange tunnel.
TOO LARGE During pumping, more areola is drawn into the breast flange with your nipple. Your areola may rub against the side of the breast flange tunnel.
AMEDA® ELITE™ CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS For At-Home/End-Users: After each pumping, wipe the pump with clean, damp cloth. For Hospitals/Rental Stations: Clean between users. Wearing disposable gloves, wipe the pump with damp disposable cloth, using hospital approved antibacterial cleaner such as CaviCide™.
AMEDA HYGIENIKIT® CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS • Take apart the Ameda HygieniKit to clean. Set aside tubing, adapter cap and tubing adapter. These can be wiped with a clean, damp cloth, but should not be washed. • Rinse any milk residue from remaining pump parts, flange, diaphragm, valve (and bottle), with cool water. • Wash these remaining parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse well with warm, clean water. • Allow parts to air dry on clean towel or drying rack before assembly and next use. • Cover parts with clean towel if not planning to use again right away. Breast flanges and bottles can be washed on the upper rack of a standard household dishwasher away from heating elements. Wash diaphragms and valves gently by hand. Do not insert anything through valve while cleaning. Ameda, Elite, HygieniKit and associated logos are trademarks of Ameda, Inc.
