2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Carum Pump System consists of the breast pump and a PumpSet (single or double pumpset).
The Carum breast pump is a quiet, user-friendly double piston pump for hospital use and for rental use.
The unit is equipped with a robust plastic housing (Quality: VO) and a simplified, logically organised keyboard
with a LCD display readout.
The energy-saving electrical equipment is designed for mains- and for car battery-operation, or for (optional)
battery use.
The sophisticated controls allow each mother to enjoy a comfortable and efficient pumping experience (plus a
tested suckling curve) thanks to the flexible system for adjusting vacuum and cycles.

2.1. Suckling Curve

The suckling curve is characteristically stable over the entire vacuum and cycle area and corresponds closely to
your baby’s suckling behaviour. Therefore the breast tissue is not additionally stressed by pumping.
Stimulation mode Exchange Stimulation-Expression Expression mode

3. APPLICATION FOR USE

The Carum breastpump system is intended for the expression of breast milk, for the collection and storage of
mother’s milk in the event of nursing problems e.g. galactostasis, sore nipples, illness or in the absence of either
mother or baby e.g. premature infants. Carum can be used as both a single pump and as a double pump.
The unit is intended for indoor use only.

3.1. Indications
Carum • To alleviate engorgement.
• To increase and maintain the ability to breastfeed.
• Ensure the supply of breast milk should mother and baby be separated.
• Carum can be used as both a single pump and as a double pump.

3.2. Contra- indications

None known: when the unit is used for the correct purpose.

5. ERROR ANALYSIS / ERROR DISPLAY / SERVICE INDICATOR

Identifiable errors or service / maintenance schedules are represented on the LCD by a warning triangle.

Switch the unit off, and then on again. If the error message comes up again, return the unit to the
supplier. The unit must be repaired by trained service personnel, or by the manufacturer.

Error: the unit does not work on battery power i.e. the pump does not operate.
Solution: Connect the unit to the mains to recharge the battery. The battery charging time is ca.
4 hrs. Advice: The unit may be used while the battery is being charged, but this will extend the
charging time.

5.1. Further possible errors when using the unit

• Weak or absent vacuum
Disconnect the PumpSet from the unit. Partly close the connector opening with a finger to test the suction.
If suction is de-tectable, then the pump is working. Test the PumpSet in accordance with the separate
instructions, (only use the original ARDO PumpSet)
• The pump is not working / no data on the LCD display
Check the mains supply; if the unit still does not work, it is defective

Should any of these errors occur, and be confirmed, return the unit to the supplier immediately. The unit must be
repaired by trained service personnel or by the manufacturer

6. MAINTENANCE / CARE / CLEANING
The silicone pot integrated into the PumpSet constitutes a total barrier, and ensures that neither breast milk nor
pathogenic agents can get into the pump unit. The unit is maintenance-free; care of the unit, and its accessories,
is limited to inspection and cleaning.

The Carum breast pump can be repaired, but only by trained service personnel or by the manufacturer. For
this reason, only the bottle holder, the EasyFreeze holder, the connector cable, and the car charging cable, are
available for order as spare parts. See Section: Accessories / Spare Parts.

6.1. Visual inspection before switch-on

• Is the pump housing intact?
• Is the mains power unit undamaged?
