Medela Swing Maxi 00400013 [5/124] Intended use contraindication population

The intended use and indications of breastpumps

Breastpumps are intended to be used by lactating women in the hospital or home

environment for expressing breastmilk. Breastpumps are indicated to alleviate the

symptoms of engorgement by expressing milk. In case of mastitis breastpumps

support the healing process by removing breastmilk from the affected breast. Breast-

pumps are indicated to relieve sore and cracked nipples and to bring out at or

inverted nipples. Also breastpumps enable mothers to provide breastmilk for babies

who cannot feed directly at the breast for a variety of reasons such as latch-on

problems, cleft palate or premature babies.

Intended patient population / user

Adolescent paediatric or adult lactating women. Many women nd it convenient, or

even necessary, to use a breastpump to express and store their breastmilk once they

have returned to work, are travelling or are otherwise separated from their baby.

Women are often delighted to learn that a breastpump can be used as a supplement

to breastfeeding and that some pumps are designed to mimic the suckling of a

nursing baby.

Contraindications

There are no known contraindications for the Swing Maxi breastpump.
