FAQs

How do I clean the pump?

Disassemble all parts that come into contact with milk. Wash in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Sterilize by boiling or using a steam sterilizer.

How often should I replace the parts?

Inspect the parts regularly and replace them if they show signs of wear, damage, or reduced performance. Replace valves and membranes every 1-3 months. Consult the user manual for specific recommendations.

Can I use this pump with other bottles?

The pump is compatible with the included bottles. While some adapters may exist, using other bottles is not recommended as it could affect performance.

What if I experience discomfort while pumping?

Adjust the suction and speed settings to a comfortable level. Ensure the breast shell size is correct. If discomfort persists, stop pumping and consult a lactation consultant.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts are available from Ardo's website or authorized retailers. You can find these by searching online.

What is the warranty period?

The Ardo Calypso Double Plus comes with an extended guarantee. Details can be found in the product documentation and on the Ardo website.

Is the pump easy to travel with?

The pump is compact and comes with a carry bag. It is suitable for travel, but needs a power outlet.

Troubleshooting

Pump not turning on.

Check the power connection and ensure the adaptor is securely plugged into both the pump and the wall outlet. Try a different outlet.

Weak suction.

Check all connections for air leaks. Ensure the tubing is properly connected and that the breast shield fits snugly. Inspect the valves and membranes for damage or wear.

Reduced milk output.

Adjust the suction and speed settings to find the most effective combination. Make sure the breast shield size is appropriate for your nipple. Stay hydrated and consider when you are pumping.

Unusual noises.

Ensure all parts are assembled correctly and that there are no cracks or damage. If the noise persists, contact Ardo customer service.

Milk in tubing.

This should not happen due to the vacuum seal. Immediately stop pumping and inspect the pump parts for any damage and ensure proper assembly. Contact Ardo if the problem persists.
