BREAST PUMP DEVICE AND CONTROLLER FOR THE DEVICE, AND A CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026357 titled 'BREAST PUMP DEVICE AND CONTROLLER FOR THE DEVICE, AND A CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a breast pump device and a controller that operates a pressure source for the device. The device monitors the flow of milk during a pumping session and adjusts the pressure source accordingly. This allows the device to switch between a low energy mode and an expression mode, reducing power consumption. The pumping session consists of alternating time periods in each mode.
- Breast pump device with a pressure source controller
- Monitors milk flow during pumping session
- Adjusts pressure source based on flow
- Switches between low energy mode and expression mode
- Reduces power consumption
- Pumping session consists of alternating time periods in each mode
Original Abstract Submitted
A breast pump device is provided and a controller for operating a pressure source of the breast pump device. A milk flow is monitored during a breast pumping session. The pressure source is controlled in dependence on the flow, thereby to switch, the breast pumping, between a first pressure profile of the pressure source for a low energy mode and a second pressure profile of the pressure source for an expression mode. The breast pumping session comprises a plurality of time periods with the low energy mode and a plurality of time periods with the expression mode, in order to reduce electrical power consumption.
