Product Description
Hegen Manual Breast Pump is a personal use breast pump that supports and complement breastfeeding
When To Express Milk
It is best to wait until your breastfeeding schedule and milk supply is established (usually at least 2 - 4 weeks) before
expressing breast milk, unless otherwise advised by your healthcare professional.
Prepare To Use
Always wash your hands with soap before cleaning, sterilising and using the product.
Plastic components and containers become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.
Pump components and containers may become damaged if mishandled, e.g. dropped, knocked over, scratched.
Take appropriate care in handling all components of the product.
Do not use the breast milk if pump components or containers become damaged.
Cleaning
Before first use, disassemble all components of the product, wash with bottle detergent and rinse in clean water thoroughly
before sterilising. This is to ensure hygiene. Always take all components apart and wash the product with bottle detergent
immediately after each use. Take extra care when removing and cleaning the Valve not to lose or damage it. Gently pull
to remove the Valve and rub clean with fingers in warm water with mild bottle detergent. Do not use a teat brush or any
other implement to clean it. When using a dishwasher (top rack only), avoid high-heat settings like “sanitary clean” or “heat
boost” which may distort components.
Sterilising
Sterilise all components except the Manual Handle (SoftSqroundTM)in a UV steriliser, steam steriliser or boiling water.
Should you choose to sterilise using a UV steriliser or an electric steam steriliser, the sterilising instructions of the
sterilisation devices should be carefully observed. In addition, all components should be removed from the UV steriliser after
sterilisation to prevent excessive exposure to UV light. For boiling: Bring the water to boil, submerge components in boiling
water for no more than 5 minutes. For sterilisation, all components should be completely taken apart to avoid different
reaction of materials which can cause deformation. All grease or oil residue should be thoroughly removed before sterilising
to avoid permanent staining of parts.
Plastic components and containers become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.
Pump components and containers may become damaged if mishandled, e.g. dropped, knocked over, scratched.
Take appropriate care in handling all components of the product.
Do not use the breast milk if pump components or containers become damaged.
Insert the Flange (SoftSqroundTM) into the Pump Body (SoftSqroundTM) fully and ensure that it is fitted snugly.

Pumping
Caution! Always wash your hands with soap before touching the breast and pump components. Contact your healthcare
professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful. Do not continue
pumping for more than 5 minutes if you do not succeed in expressing any milk. If the pressure generated is uncomfortable
or cause pain, break the seal between the breast and the Flange (SoftSqroundTM)with your finger and remove the pump
from your breast.
