FAQ
The Colostrum Collector is designed for use with the Symphony® breast pump and kit. It is not designed for use with Medela personal use pumps; however, it can be used with the Harmony manual hand pump if mom does not have access to a Symphony pump. Using the device with a double electric personal use pump could negatively impact pump performance. As a reminder, personal use pumps are not designed to initiate milk supply.
The Colostrum Collector holds 6 mL of colostrum. Once the mother’s milk volume has exceeded 6 mL, this indicates she has graduated to a 35 mL collection container.
Colostrum should be removed from the Colostrum Collector per hospital protocol with either a syringe or swab (for immediate use) and then administered to the infant. The Colostrum Collector is not designed for feeding directly to the infant.
The Colostrum Collector and lid are made of Polypropylene 5, which can be recycled. Please follow hospital and local recycling guidelines.
Medela's Colostrum Collector was designed to strike a balance between functionality and ease of use. The vent hole allows the vacuum to work, and the smiley faces help ensure correct orientation. When assembling the Colostrum Collector ensure that the vent hole is placed between 10:00 and 2:00, using the smiley faces as a guide. It is important that the smiley faces are facing up as this direction orients the vent hole upwards. If the vent hole is facing down, colostrum will not collect in the collector.
The Colostrum Collector is designed as a single-use device. Sanitizing in the Quick Clean™ Micro-Steam™ Bags, dishwasher, or other cleaning methods are not recommended or supported.
The Colostrum Collector is designed to work seamlessly with Symphony kits, and it does not impact the Symphony PLUS breast pump function, technology, or most importantly milk production.
