Many mothers used to decide to have breast pumps to feed their children, to save money, but should be careful. Even when used breast pumps are more affordable than new, there are possible legal and health implications involved.
A breast pump labeled "single user" should be legally sold after the FDA is because it is only intended for a user. Resale of these pumps is not compliant with the FDA. Therefore, the FDA can take to court against such sales.
ManyBreastpumps are referred to as "" single user "" devices because they are completely cleaned to ensure that the mother's milk is not the original, even within the pump system. For this reason, there is the possibility of transmission of diseases by using a breast pump. It is recommended that the manual supplied with the pump at the time of purchase is to find out, read the label on the pump by the FDA
Some of the single user breast pumps are Aventbreast pumps, The Ameda ® Purely Yours breast pump, WhisperWear® breast pump, and the Medela Pump In Style® breast pump.
Some breast pumps that are not labeled ""single user"" devices are Medela Classic(TM) breast pump, Medela Lactina® breast pump, Ameda Lact-E ® breast pump, and Ameda Elite® breast pump.
Usually the hospital grade breast pumps and pumps often used specifically as rental pumps are the multi user designated pumps.
When considering selling or buying a used breast pump, determine whether or not the pump is a ""single user"" pump. Find out from the seller and check the product information to be sure.
To be safe, breast pumps must never be shared, resold, or borrowed among mothers. Product warranty given on a single user breast pump becomes void by multiple users.
Rental pumps are safe to use by multiple mothers who have their own personal kits. However, they should be used according to the instructions, Ameda sells personal pump kits approved by the FDA.
