WARNUNG: To avoid health risk and risk of injury.
•
Inspect the breastpump and all appropriate pump components before each use.
•
Do not shorten tubing.
•
Never use Carum while sleeping or when dozy.
•
If expressing is uncomfortable or painful, stop the expression and ask your laction consultant for advice.
•
Never use while pregnant, as pumping can induce labor.
•
For cleaning, follow the instructions in Chapter Cleaning.
Battery option and car battery cable

2. Product Description
•
The Carum pump system consists of the breastpump and a Pumpset (single or double pumpset).
•
The Carum breastpump is a quiet, user-friendly double piston pump for hospital use and for rental
use.
•
The unit is equipped with a robust plastic housing (Quality: VO) and a simplified, logically organised
keyboard with a LCD display readout.
•
The energy-saving electrical equipment is designed for outlet operation, for use with the car charger,
or for (optional) battery use.
•
The sophisticated controls allow each mother to enjoy a comfortable and efficient pumping
experience (plus a tested suckling curve) thanks to the flexible system for adjusting vacuum and cycles.
•
To emulate a baby's natural sucking behavior, the Carum allows pumping in 2 phases: stimulation
mode and expression mode. Stimulation mode activates the milk flow, and the subsequent expression
mode allows efficient pumping.
•
Pumping with the "Sensitive Programme" is particularly suitable for sore nipples.
•
The silicone pot integrated into the Pumpset ("Vacuum Seal" technology) ensures that no breast milk
or air can get into the tube or Carum unit. The closed system is so secure that it constitutes a barrier
against cross contamination (infection).
2.1. Suckling curve
The suckling curve is characteristically stable over the entire vacuum and cycle area and corresponds
closely to your baby's suckling behaviour. Therefore the breast tissue is not additionally stressed by
pumping.
