When used with the application, our Perifit Pump offers three distinct programs tailored to meet different pumping needs: Classic, Power Pumping, and Mix-mode. Programs affect the timing of your session and the mode (stimulation/expression) but are independent of the cycle speed you choose. Any program can be used in combination with any cycle speed.
Programs can be found while clicking on "Options" on the session screen.
Classic Program (30 Minutes)
Best for standard, single letdown pumping sessions.
This program is our default setting for each session unless another program is selected. It starts with a brief stimulation phase followed by a continuous expression phase.
Stimulation Mode (2 minutes): The pump begins with a 2-minute stimulation phase, indicated by a white blinking LED. This phase helps to initiate milk flow.
Expression Mode (28 minutes): After stimulation, the pump switches to a 28-minute expression phase, marked by a solid white LED. This phase maintains consistent milk extraction.
Stop: The session ends after a total of 30 minutes.
Power Pumping Program (60 Minutes)
Ideal for boosting milk supply through an extended and varied pumping routine.
Power pumping is designed to mimic cluster feeding and is known to help increase milk supply. This program includes multiple pumping and pauses phases for an hour. For optimal results, use this program three times a day for three consecutive days.
20-Minute Pumping Session: Starts with 2 minutes in stimulation mode, followed by 18 minutes in expression mode.
10-Minute Pause: A short break to mimic natural breastfeeding patterns.
10-Minute Pumping Session: Again, 2 minutes in stimulation mode and 8 minutes in expression mode.
10-Minute Pause: Another break to encourage additional milk ejection.
10-Minute Pumping Session: Finishes with 2 minutes in stimulation mode and 8 minutes in expression mode.
Stop: The entire session lasts 60 minutes.
Mix-mode Program (30 Minutes)
Ideal if your breasts are not empty at the end of a classic session
This program alternates between stimulation and expression phases to repeatedly stimulate the milk ejection reflex.
Alternating Phases: Mix-mode switches back and forth between stimulation and expression modes to stimulate the milk ejection reflex repeatedly.
There are three 7-minute cycles, with one cycle being:
Stimulation Mode (2 minutes): The pump begins with a 2-minute stimulation phase, indicated by a white blinking LED. This phase helps to initiate milk flow.
Expression Mode (5 minutes): After stimulation, the pump switches to a 5-minute expression phase, marked by a solid white LED. This phase maintains consistent milk extraction.
Finally, there is a 9-minute cycle:
Stimulation Mode (2 minutes): The pump begins with a 2-minute stimulation phase, indicated by a white blinking LED. This phase helps to initiate milk flow.
Expression Mode (7 minutes): After stimulation, the pump switches to a 7-minute expression phase, marked by a solid white LED. This phase maintains consistent milk extraction.
Stop: The entire session lasts 30 minutes.
