The Flexishield Areola Stimulator is an optional accessory that can be purchased separately and used with the HygieniKit to provide increased stimulation and encourage the let-down reflex. The Flexishield is designed to compress the areola area, helping to stimulate a let-down reflex. It is especially useful for smaller-breasted women who may benefit from added stimulation.

The Flexishield Areola Stimulator
  1. Insert the Flexishield into the breast flange. The rings on the Flexishield should contact the nipple tunnel walls once it is fully inserted.
The Flexishield Areola Stimulator
  1. Seal the Flexishield to the breast flange by locking the edge of the Flexishield over the rim of the breast flange, using the palm of your hand or thumb and forefinger.

13. Troubleshooting the Purely Yours Breast Pump

Interruption of Electrical Service
If you experience an interruption in the normal operation of the electrical and/or mechanical functioning of the pump, simply do the following:
  • Unplug the AC adapter cord from the electrical outlet.
  • Wait a few seconds, then plug the AC adapter cord back into the electrical outlet.
Decreased Suction
If it feels like the suction has decreased, try the following:
  • Remove the tubing and white connector from the side of the pump and place a finger over the pump outlet. If you feel suction, the pump is operating properly, but the collection kit may not be correctly assembled or the white valve may be damaged. If no suction is felt on your finger, try unplugging the adapter from the electrical outlet, wait a few seconds, and plug it back into the electrical outlet.
  • Make sure the collection kit has been properly assembled. Check the assembly information in the section Using the HygieniKit.
  • Inspect the white valve for a tear or pinhole. This component is critical to achieving proper suction. Replace the white valve with one of the spare valves provided with the product.
  • Check the tubing adapter on the side of the pump to make sure it is closed when single pumping. If open, close the adapter.
