SETTING THE VACUUM LEVEL: Adjust the vacuum level by pressing the buttons.
The vacuum level is measured in mmHg on your breast pump and refers to how strongly the pump will `suck’.
Please be cautious when setting the vacuum level on the Spectra S1 Plus / S2 Plus. Some women find that milk
expression occurs faster on higher vacuum levels. However, it is important not to set the vacuum level so high that
it makes you uncomfortable, as the resulting pain will hinder your milk flow.
We, therefore, suggest that you start off with the vacuum level on low and then gradually increase the vacuum
level to a comfortable level. You may find that the vacuum level that you are comfortable with varies significantly,
from day to day, during the day and even during the same expression session.
SETTING THE CYCLE SPEED: Adjust the cycle speed by pressing the button.
The cycle speed is measured in CPM (cycles per minute) on your breast pump and refers to how many times the
pump `sucks’ and releases per minute. Your Spectra S1 Plus/S2 Plus has been designed with variable cycle
settings so that you can find the setting that suits your body best.
Changing the cycle speed can make a dramatic difference in milk expression for some women.
Every woman is different, so adjust the cycle speed setting to find the speed that works best for you.
MASSAGE AND EXPRESSION MODES
– Massage Mode: You will adjust the vacuum level in massage mode to find what works best for you.
– Expression Mode: After the letdown begins, and once the milk is flowing, your baby will start sucking more
slowly and deeply, creating a stronger suction to draw down the milk.
This mode has a slower cycle speed and higher vacuum level.
Please adjust the cycle speed and vacuum level in expression mode to find what works best for you.
