Hello-  Does anyone have information/study on what suction levels are when 
medela and ameda pumps are used with each others pump kits?  I know that 
each company states to use with only their own respective kits.  

I have recently had 5 mom's using ameda kits with their medela machines 
(encouraged and instructed to do so by the hospital CLE's) all who had 
SEVERE nipple damage from pumping.  The readings I got were in the 240+ 
mmHg on the lowest setting with a Pump in style with an Ameda kit.  The 
opposite also seems true, the Ameda pump with a medela kit suction was very 
low, and mom's were not getting any milk with it.  I know, why not just use 
the kits that came with the machine!!  I am just hoping someone has some 
exerience/information on this-- Thanks
