Is The ONE a hospital-grade breast pump?

When talking about breast pumps, the term ‘hospital-grade’ is often used but isn’t officially defined, certified or regulated. ‘Hospital-grade breast pump’ commonly refers to a breast pump with extraordinary strength, durability and efficiency in addition to being exceptionally hygienic by including a closed-system. The ONE is a closed-system breast pump with a pumping power of up to 360mmHg – on par with leading, plug-in hospital-grade pumps. The ONE's durable motor is built to last a minimum of 1,000 hours. It's also an extremely efficient breast pump due to its fully adjustable modes to massage, express and deep express.

The ONE pumpers say... "Small pump but such good suction. You will be surprised!"

Is The ONE a closed-system?

Yes, both the The ONE breast pump and the Express Cups are a closed-system. This means breast milk won't come in contact with the motor unit, ensuring it stays clean and hygienic.

Features The ONE pumpers love... "Small compact unit, that is quiet to run. Easy to use touchscreen display."

How quiet is The ONE breast pump?

The ONE pump is very quiet. Sitting at an average of 43db, it is equivalent to the noise level of a library. The only sound the pump makes is generated by the motor unit and the movement of the membrane, which is barely noticeable when listening to music, television, or conversation.

The ONE pumpers rated The ONE 25% quieter than other leading Australian breast pump brands and find The ONE a... "Small compact unit, that is quiet to run." –and– "Quiet, convenient (cup system ideal for work), efficient."
