membrane for holes or tears. If flawed or damaged replace valve and/
or white membrane prior to pumping.
• Wash yellow valve head and white membrane per Cleaning
instructions in Section 4.
• Reassemble. Make sure the white membrane lays flat on the yellow
valve head, and if it does not, replace the yellow valve head and/or
white membrane prior to pumping.

Connector Check
• Inspect breastshield and breastshield connector to make sure there are
no cracks and they securely attach to each other.
