Medela Symphony Breast Pump Rental

Winnipeg Breast Pump Rental Service

The Untied Latch delivers hospital grade Medela Symphony breast pumps direct to your door throughout Winnipeg and surrounding areas. The convenience of delivery of your rental and pick-up at the end of your rental are included in our monthly rate. Each rental also includes an educational 30-minute session with our lactation professionals where we provide tips and instruction on how to use your pump efficiently as well as assisting with flange sizing. Each of our staff have extensive experience and training in Medela breast pumps and accessories.

The Medela Symphony is the pump of choice for over 80% of  hospitals across Canada.  We recommend the Medela Symphony breast pump for those:

  • Struggling with initiating their milk supply after birth

  • Struggling to maintain their milk supply

  • Pumping to increase milk supply

  • Parents who are ‘triple feeding’ i.e. directly feeding at the breast / chest, pumping and feeding their baby a supplement with a bottle or supplemental feeder

  • Inducing lactation or relactating

  • Feeding multiples such as twins or triplets

  • Parents of preterm or sick babies

*Please note that the monthly rental rate is for the rental of the Symphony pumping machine and does not include the personal-use pumping kit (attachments that touch your breast and milk). If you do not already have a personal-use kit for the Symphony pump, you will also need to purchase the Medela Double Pumping Kit for Symphony Breast Pump for $65.00.

Did you know?

Did you know your breast pump rental may be eligible for reimbursement from your HSA provider? We recommend that you contact your individual healthcare insurance provider to ensure your insurance plan covers a hospital grade breast pump. 

Your insurance provider may require a doctor's note or prescription, which can be provided by your baby’s pediatrician or OBGYN / midwife. Your healthcare provider can provide you with such documentation in cases of low milk supply, babies experiencing slow weight gain, premature or sick babies or other feeding issues. Note: This is at the discretion of your HSA provider and healthcare providers.

FAQs

  • The Medela Symphony breast pump is $100.00 + GST per month to rent; with delivery, set-up and pick-up included in this price. There is a one month minimum rental period required. In our professional experience, one month of use is recommended to see any possible benefits from the pump's use.

  • Breast Milk expression is not for everyone. We know this from our experience of supporting lactating people for over 20 years combined! Breast pump rental allows for a trial period of pumping with one of the best pumps on the market without the major costs of purchasing a high-end personal-use pump. Breast pump rental of an industrial or ‘hospital grade’ breast pump is also an excellent idea for those with the intention to pump exclusively or to triple feed. Our rentals are conveniently delivered and picked-up for no additional fee, meaning it’s less time consuming than browsing aimlessly at pumps in the store.

  • Our delivery person, Aislinn, is an internationally recognised midwife and lactation educator. She has over 5 years of experience supporting people with pumping, with a specialist interest and additional training in supporting those with low milk supply. She will physically set-up your pump in your desired pumping area in your home and install your pumping kit for you (this can be one you already own or a kit purchased from us with your rental) Aislinn will walk you through the set-up and care of your pumping kit as she does so. Optional flange sizing is included in your 30-minute delivery session which would include measuring your nipples and using the breast pump to observe nipple movement and fit using the pump vacuum. A flange size will be recommended for you at the end of this assessment, which you can purchase separately. Aislinn will provide additional tips and advice about pumping, as well as answer any questions you may have. A rental contract will also need to be completed by you at the time of delivery.

    *Note: Though Aislinn is a lactation educator, an individual lactation consult is not included in your breast pump rental. Our team will happily support you with any lactation or feeding difficulties you’re having in a seperate in-home or virtual consultation with an IBCLC, which can be booked through our services page.

  • Prepayment by credit or debit card is required when booking your pump rental. Payment is required in full. A valid credit card and Canadian driver’s license are required to complete the rental agreement at the time of delivery. We provide detailed receipts for health insurance or health spending account reimbursement.

  • The Medela Symphony rental is of the pump motor itself. A personal-use pumping kit is required to use the pump. This can be purchased and delivered with your breast pump rental if you do not have one already. The Medela Symphony personal-use kit is $65.00 + tax to purchase or purchase 2 personal-use kits for $100.00 + tax.

    The Medela Symphony personal-use double pumping kit includes: two sets of PersonalFit Breast Shield flanges in sizes 24mm and 27mm, two PersonalFit Connectors, 4 milk collection bottles (2 x 30 ml bottles and 2 x 60 ml bottles), 2 Valves and 4 Membranes, tubing and two diaphragms. All pump parts which come in contact with your breast and breast milk are BPA and phthalate-free for your peace of mind.

    Unfortunately, other Medela breast pumps, such as the Freestyle and Sonata breast pumps, do not have all of the parts required to use the Medela Symphony breast pump.

    Note: Hospital-grade breast pump kits you receive in hospital are not always recommended for long term use but your kit can be assessed at the time of delivery for suitability.

    There is a minimum $40.00 cleaning fee applicable at the end of your rental if the pump is returned unsanitary. You will be told if this cleaning fee applies when your pump is assessed at the time of pick-up.

    There is a minimum $50.00 repair fee billed by Medela if the pump is returned damaged or in disrepair. This cost may increase depending on the repair needed.

  • There is no deposit required. Your credit card details will be kept on file for the duration of your rental as per the Medela User Agreement.

  • The Medela Symphony is a multi-user, closed-system breast pump. A closed motor system ensures bodily fluids such as milk, cannot transmit through the pump system. It also prevents bacteria and other pathogens from entering the pump motor system.

    We clean our Symphony pumps thoroughly between each rental with CaviCide. CaviCide is a surface disinfectant that is effective against TB, HCV, bacteria (including MRSA and VRE) and fungi. It has also been approved by Health Canada for use against Covid-19.

  • We make your life easy by reminding you when your pump rental is due to end. You will receive an email 5-7 days before the end date of your agreed rental period. You will be given the opportunity to extend your rental or schedule a pick-up of your pump. We will come to pick up the pump from you and inspect the pump. You will receive a contract summary that marks the end of the rental period as long as the pump is in good repair and returned in clean condition. There will need to be someone home and physically present for pick-up as we will need to plug in the pump to inspect it.

  • Our Medela Symphony breast pumps can be rented as long as you need it. There is only a minimum rental of one month, no maximum.

  • The Medela Symphony breast pump must be plugged into an electrical outlet for the entirety of a pumping session.

  • The Medela Symphony breast pump is a double breast pump but can be modified to be a single pump if needed / desired. You will be shown how to do this during set-up.
