Abstract

A breast pump system having a suction tubing, a milk tubing, a pump, a three way vent valve, a milk bottle, an isolation valve and a breast shield, wherein the first end of the suction tubing and the first end of the milk tubing are fluidly connected to the pump; wherein the second end of the suction tubing and the second end of the milk tubing are fluidly connected to the breast shield; wherein the three way vent valve is fluidly connected between the pump and the breast shield on the suction tubing; wherein the milk bottle is fluidly connected on the milk tubing between the breast shield and the pump; and wherein the isolation valve is connected on the milk tubing between the milk bottle and the pump.

Claims (32)

1. A breast pump system to express breast milk, wherein the breast pump system comprises a suction tubing, a milk tubing, a pump, a vent valve, a suction and milk separator device, a milk bottle, an isolation valve and a breast shield;

wherein the suction tubing has a first and second end and the milk tubing has a first and second end;

wherein the first end of the suction tubing and the first end of the milk tubing are fluidly connected to the pump;

wherein the second end of the suction tubing and the second end of the milk tubing are fluidly connected to the suction and milk separator device;

wherein the breast shield is fluidly connected to the suction and milk separator device, the suction tubing and the milk tubing;

wherein the suction and milk separator device has a check valve positioned at the connection to the milk tubing;

wherein the check valve has an open and a closed position and the check valve is in the closed position when the suction on the suction and milk separator device is greater than the suction on the milk tubing;

wherein the vent valve is fluidly connected to the suction tubing and is positioned between the pump and the suction and milk separator device;

wherein the vent valve is fluidly connected to a vent and the suction tubing;

wherein the milk bottle is fluidly connected on the milk tubing between the suction and milk separator device and the isolation valve; and

wherein the isolation valve is fluidly connected on the milk tubing between the milk bottle and the pump.

2. The breast pump system of claim 1 , wherein a vacuum cylinder is positioned between the vent valve and the pump.

3. The breast pump system of claim 2 , wherein connected to the pump is a power source and a microprocessor.

4. The breast pump system of claim 3 , wherein sensors generating data are positioned proximate to the milk bottle to sense the level of milk in the milk bottle;

wherein the sensors are connected to the microprocessor which stores the data.

5. The breast pump system of claim 1 , wherein connected to the pump is a power source and a microprocessor.

6. The breast pump system of claim 5 , wherein sensors generating data are positioned proximate to the milk bottle to sense the level of milk in the milk bottle;

wherein the sensors are connected to the microprocessor which stores the data.

7. The breast pump system of claim 6 , wherein the suction tubing and the milk tubing disconnect from the three way valve, the vacuum cylinder and the pump for easy storage and cleaning.

8. A breast pump system comprising a suction tubing, a milk tubing, a pump, a vent valve, a milk bottle, and a breast shield;

wherein the suction tubing has a first and second end;

wherein the milk tubing has a first and second end;

wherein the first end of the suction tubing and the first end of the milk tubing are fluidly connected to the pump;

wherein the second end of the suction tubing and the second end of the milk tubing are fluidly connected to the breast shield;

wherein the vent valve is fluidly connected between the pump and the breast shield on the suction tubing;

wherein the milk bottle is fluidly connected on the milk tubing between the breast shield and the pump;

wherein an isolation valve is connected on the milk tubing between the milk bottle and the pump;

wherein a suction and milk separator device is fluidly connected to the second end of the suction tubing, the second end of the milk tubing and the breast shield; and

wherein the second end of the milk tubing has a check valve function.

9. The breast pump system of claim 8 , wherein the check valve function is a diaphragm check valve.

10. The breast pump system of claim 8 , wherein a vacuum cylinder is positioned between the vent valve and the pump, and

wherein the vent valve is a three way valve.
