Customer service could not conduct troubleshooting with the customer because the breast pump was in the baby's room while he/she was asleep.The customer was sent a replacement device and return of her original device was requested for testing/evaluation.In follow up with a complaint handler on (b)(6) 2021, the customer indicated she was doing much better.The device was returned without the customer's parts and accessories; therefore, it was evaluated with a medela lab kit on (b)(6) 2021, and it passed suction and cycle specifications.The customer's report of low suction could not be confirmed.Based on the results of ca11-001, it cannot be definitively concluded that the pump caused or contributed to the customer's mastitis.The estimated incidence of mastitis in lactating women, whether using a breast pump or not, according to published clinical literature can be as high as 33%.In fact, clinical guidelines suggest the use of a breast pump to facilitate withdrawal of breast milk during bouts of mastitis.The complaint rate of mastitis across all reported failures, across all medela breast pumps, is 0.008% for the period of january 2013 to august 2017.Mastitis is usually a benign, self-limiting infection with few consequences for the suckling infant.The risk of mastitis is higher among women who have breastfed previously, especially those with a history of mastitis." riordan & wambach, 4th ed.P.294: breastfeeding and human lactation.Mastitis requires prompt medical attention for the mother for pain relief and prescription antibiotics to avoid progression to overwhelming sepsis.
