• How do I clean my Ardo breast pump pumpset?

  Dismantle the pumpset into individual parts. Rinse with cold water, then clean with washing-up liquid and warm water. Rinse thoroughly. It is recommended to disinfect once daily by boiling the parts for 5 minutes.

• What should I do if there is weak or no vacuum on my Ardo pump?

  Check that the pumpset is correctly assembled, ensuring the lip valve is not cracked or stuck and the membrane pot is intact. Verify that the tube connector forms a tight seal and that the valves are closing properly.

• Can I use Ardo breast pumps during pregnancy?

  No, Ardo breast pumps should not be used during pregnancy because expressing breast milk can trigger contractions or premature labor.

• How often should I replace the silicone valves and diaphragms?

  It is recommended to replace silicone diaphragms and lip valves every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if you notice any signs of damage, wear, or reduced suction performance.

• Is the Ardo Alyssa breast pump compatible with other pumpsets?

  The Ardo Alyssa is designed to be used specifically with original Ardo pumpsets to ensure optimal hygiene (closed system) and performance.
