Many of my clients have purchased this pump...most have ended up with
bleeding nipples!  So I purchased a used one to measure negative pressure,
put it together/take it apart....its now in my pump teaching collection (over
70 at this point).  It is a very substandard pump, very high negative
pressure, tons of pain per mothers, and very little milk obtained.  And in
our area, its not cheap (price-wise).
