I am going to change my wording to call pumps such as the Elite, the 
Lactina, etc. as "rental quality" instead of hospital grade. I sometimes 
call them hospital quality but now that several personal use pumps are 
calling themselves hospital grade this is too confusing. I suggest we start 
calling the purchased pumps as personal use pumps or single user. I think 
the term multi user is not clear enough for the average mom who only knows 
what is on the store shelf. We use the term "multi user" at WIC for the 
Lactinas and Elites, and "single user" for the Purely Yours. Most moms are 
not aware that the personal use pumps are not meant for multiple mothers.

The problem with calling them piston pumps is the Symphony is a diaphram not 
a piston (right?).

Gee, this is a pain in the neck to have to clarify terms when manufacturers 
start fudging their product descriptions.
