Medela Symphony ® Breast Pump

User Manual

1. Introduction

The Medela Symphony ® is a hospital-grade double-electric breast pump which

removes breast milk from lactating women suitable for consumption by infants and

children. The Medela Symphony ® features two-phase (or dual-phase) pumping, which

encourages the production of more milk by the body. Dual-phase pumping also reduces

pumping time through faster let-down and milk flow. It simulates a breastfeeding baby in

that it removes as much milk as a baby.

This user manual is an overview of the Medela Symphony ®, its purpose, warnings and

its parts and their functions. It also includes instructions on how to assemble and set up

the accessories for the Medela Symphony ®, how to care for the Medela Symphony ®

breast pump and how to clean and sterilize its parts. There is also a section on how to

troubleshoot common user problems with the Medela Symphony ®, as well as

frequently asked user questions.

As there are possible health and food safety implications in using the Medela Symphony

®, it is important to follow the directions of this manual, and to consult official sources,

including Medela Canada, Medela International, Le Leche League Canada, Health

Canada and the World Health Organization to protect the health of the woman and

baby.

2. Product Overview and Description

The Medela Symphony ® is a hospital-grade double-electric breast pump which

removes breastmilk from lactating women. The Medela Symphony ® can be used on

one or both breasts at once for more efficient removal of breast milk, and features two-

phase expression pumping, which simulates the motions of a breastfeeding infant. Two-

phase expression pumping is proven to reduce pumping time through faster let-down

and milk flow.

3. Why the Medela Symphony ® Breast Pump?

The Medela Symphony ® User Guide accompanies the Medela Symphony ® breast

pump. The breast pump is meant to initiate and maintain a milk supply, as well as

collect milk from a lactating woman. The collected breastmilk can be fed to an infant or

a child in the case that direct breastfeeding is not possible or not desired.

The breast pump also relieves discomfort associated with engorgement of the breasts

due to lactation.

The guide will teach both medical professionals and direct users (lactating women) and

their partners or helpers how to use the Medela Symphony®, and how to troubleshoot

any problems that arise with the breast pump.
