Why is there low or no suction with my Medela Symphony?

Low or no suction with your Medela Breast Pump can occur due to several reasons. Ensure you've assembled the pump set according to the instructions. Verify that all connections to the pump set and breast pump are secure. Make sure the breast shield creates a complete seal around the breast. Also, confirm that the pump set components are clean, undamaged, and correctly assembled: * Check that the tubing ends are firmly connected. * Ensure the tubing isn't kinked or trapped during expression. * All components must be completely dry before pumping.
