3. Safety
Read all instructions before using. Elvie Stride 2 is not provided

It is recommended that you consult with a licensed healthcare

When using electrical products, especially when children are
present, basic safety precautions should always be maintained,
including the following:
• WARNING: If you are a mother who is infected with Hepatitis
B, Hepatitis C or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
expressing breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of
transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast milk.
• Only use Elvie Stride 2 for its intended use as described in
this manual.
• This is a single-user product. Use by more than one person
may present a health risk and voids the warranty.
• Always ensure you are using the right sized Breast Shield or
Nipple Insert. For assistance with correct sizing, please see
the Pump with Elvie app, section 4.4, or talk to a lactation
consultant or breastfeeding specialist.
• Only use Elvie manufactured parts with Elvie Stride 2,
including the Charging Cable; do not substitute. Use of
accessories or cables other than those specified could
result in irreversible damage to your Hub.
• Always break the seal between the Cup and your nipple
before removing Elvie Stride 2 from yourbreast.
• Do not pump until after giving birth, as breast pumping can
induce labor. If you become pregnant while breastfeeding
or breast pumping, consult with a licensed healthcare
professional before continuing.
• Using a breast pump should not cause pain. If excessive
discomfort or pain is felt during pumping, stop pumping,
use your finger to break the seal between your nipple
and the pump, and discontinue the session.
