摘要: Breast pumps allow for increased milk volume flow rates and/or increased pump efficiency. Various devices and techniques are used to introduce a more diverse set of vibration patterns which enable users to customize the performance of the vibration and/or enable vibrations to be present or absent in ways not currently enabled by the state of the art. This can involve applying vibrations to the breast during the breast pump cycle (or “waveform”), to increase the volume flow rate of expressed milk for a given cycle speed and suction level.

摘要: A breast pump device is provided and a controller for operating a pressure source of the breast pump device. A milk flow is monitored during a breast pumping session. The pressure source is controlled in dependence on the flow, thereby to switch, the breast pumping, between a first pressure profile of the pressure source for a low energy mode and a second pressure profile of the pressure source for an expression mode. The breast pumping session comprises a plurality of time periods with the low energy mode and a plurality of time periods with the expression mode, in order to reduce electrical power consumption.

摘要: A device for expression and collection of breast milk, the device includes an actuatable assembly and a breast interface. The breast interface is sized to receive a breast and form a fluid tight seal against the breast. The breast interface includes an expandable membrane disposed within at least a portion of the breast interface. The expandable membrane reversibly deforms in response to actuation of the actuatable assembly, thereby applying vacuum pressure at the breast to express the breast milk. The expandable membrane comprises a plurality of expandable pleats which extend radially outward from a central longitudinal axis of the breast interface.

摘要: A sensor system is for sensing the start of milk expression into a collection vessel when using a breast pump device. An optical sensor is used to provide a signal indicating the presence of the first milk expressed, for use in controlling the breast pump to switch from a stimulation mode to an expression mode.

摘要: A breast pump arrangement having an expression kit with a milk flow sensor (200) is provided. The milk flow sensor (200) comprises a container (240) with a first end with a first opening (242) and a second end with a second opening (243). The second opening (243) allows an outflow of milk with a predefined outflow characteristics out of the container (241). The first opening (242) is larger than the second opening (243). A milk amount sensor (250) is provided to measure a height or volume of milk in the container. A calculating unit (260, 240) calculates a milk flow based on the height or volume measurements and the predefined outflow characteristic of the second opening (243).

摘要: An electric breast pump 1 includes a breast placement part 12 at which a breast part including a breast and a nipple of a subject is placed and suction-pressure generating units 10 and 50 that generate a suction pressure in the breast placement part. The suction-pressure generating unit generates a suction cycle including a plurality of different suction pressures. The suction cycle includes basic suction, increased suction with an increased suction pressure, and reduced suction with a reduced suction pressure. A suction pressure difference between a suction pressure increasing in the increased suction and a suction pressure reducing in the reduced suction is an equal pressure and is a pressure difference at a borderline at which a user perceives a change of a suction pressure. In the suction cycle, the basic suction, the increased suction, and the reduced suction are each repeated multiple times consecutively at an equal suction pressure.

摘要: A breast pump device is provided, and a controller for operating a pressure source of the breast pump device. A degree of stretching of the nipple is determined during use of the breast pump device. A maximum under-pressure level to be applied during use of the breast pump is determined in dependence on the degree of stretching. This provides automatic pressure level adjustment to provide improved comfort for the user while enabling successful milk expression.
