Swing Maxi™ – Double Electric Breast Pump

Is Medela Swing Maxi a closed system?
Yes. The closed system in Swing Maxi and Swing Maxi Flex breast pumps prevents milk from overflowing and leaking into the pump mechanism. This helps ensure that your expressed milk stays safe and clean, but also that your pump’s components are protected from potential damage.

How do you clean the Swing Maxi breast pump?
The Medela Swing Maxi breast pump is quick and easy to clean as it only has a few pump set components that need to be washed: breast shields, connectors, membranes and bottles. Wash the disassembled parts in plenty of soapy water and rinse carefully or clean in a dishwasher (on the top rack or in the cutlery section). You don’t need to clean the motor unit or wash the tubing: as part of a closed system, it has no contact with milk, only with air. For further information, please read our Instruction for use.

How long does it take to express milk with a Medela Swing Maxi breast pump?
Expressing times may vary from woman to woman and between pump sessions. On average, it takes around 15 minutes to express milk from each breast. Being a double electric breast pump, Medela Swing Maxi allows you to express both breasts simultaneously helping you to save time.

Why is my Medela Swing Maxi pump losing suction?
If you think your Medela Swing Maxi breast pump isn’t working properly, make sure everything is set up correctly following these steps:

• Make sure all pump set components are clean and completely dry and that all connections are secure.
• While pumping, make sure the breast shields form a secure seal around your breast.
• When single pumping, make sure that the unused tubing end is correctly plugged into the tubing holder.

If suction doesn’t improve after following the above steps, please contact the Medela Customer Service.
