The latest of the Ameda line, the durable & innovative 9 lb. Platinum Electric Breast Pump. The best way to design a breast pump is to listen to the people who use them. The new Ameda Platinum™ Breast Pump combines clinician and mom inspired features to deliver innovative, advanced pumping technology. Ameda has combined the time-tested, research-proven performance of its original SMB breast pump with advanced, 21st-century features not found in other hospital-grade breast pumps. The best of both worlds has arrived. At the heart of the Ameda Platinum is an internal piston motor. This rotating piston design - preferred by many lactation professionals - is known for its smooth feel, comfort, and durability. A breast pump's effectiveness is determined in part by its waveform - the curved wave-like line that represents how suction builds, peaks and releases. Backed by more than 65 years of research and clinical experience, the Ameda Platinum was carefully designed to replicate the smooth, original SMB™ waveform. The reason? Research comparing pump waveforms found its effectiveness at expressing milk to be unsurpassed. Pump vacuum levels often decrease between single and double pumping and can drop significantly in higher altitude locations. This can present challenges for mothers who require higher vacuum levels for effective expression. Ameda's exclusive, VacuSense Technology, was engineered to emit and receive signals nearly every ½ second, allowing the pump to sense negative pressure levels. Should the vacuum detected not match the settings the mother has selected, the control mechanism adjusts internally. Featured exclusively in the Ameda Platinum Breast Pump, VacuSense Technology offers the most consistent pumping experience no matter the location or protocol. Features: Perfect engineering for long-term use, including establishing and maintaining milk production VacuSense™ Technology, which provides consistent suction during double and single pumping and at varying altitudes CustomControl™--Unlike single-dial pumps, the Platinum has separate, soft-touch, push-button vacuum and cycle controls, so it doesn't make decisions for mothers or limit their choices, allowing mothers to "follow heir flow" at every pumping. With the Platinum, mothers can easily find their own most effective pump settings every time and, like the breastfeeding baby, achieve a "multi-phase" experience Well-lit LCD displays include a timer that makes following pumping protocols easier day and night Whisper-quiet operation and automatic suction and release for the ultimate ease of use and effectiveness Built-in double holders securely support milk bags or bottles of any size after pumping Easy-to-clean flat-front control panel Compatible with all Ameda HygieniKit Milk Collection Systems, which have Proven Airlock Protection™ to keeps milk and moisture from entering narrow, hard-to-clean tubing while pumping. All parts are without BPA and DEHP. Single or dou
