Spectra® Backflow Protector For S2, S1, S9, M1 Breast Pumps
When it comes to breast pumps, no one does it better than Spectra®, and that's because Spectra® puts an emphasis on safety and hygiene, which is why all of their pumps come with backflow protection.
The Spectra® Backflow Protector is an essential accessory for any Spectra® breast pump as it creates a physical barrier between your milk and the pump motor. This protects your milk from contamination and keeps the pump working properly by not letting any breast milk reach the pump motor. This breast pump part is a pivotal component of the Spectra® closed system
The Spectra® Backflow Protector is intended to be used as a breast pump replacement part that is made from durable materials and is designed for long-term use. However, we recommend replacing it every 6 months, or sooner if you notice any damage to the silicone diaphragm inside the protector.
This breast pump backflow protector is compatible with the following Spectra® breast pumps: S1, S2, 9 Plus, and M1. If you're double pumping, you'll need two backflow protectors - so don't forget to add an extra one to your order if needed!

FAQ's
Q: Can you use a Spectra® breast pump without a backflow protector?
A: Yes it is possible but we do NOT recommend this.. If you breast pump without the Spectra® backflow protectors, you can risk breast milk getting into the tubing and the pump motor, which could result in bacteria and mold growth and even pump damage. You may also end up voiding your Spectra® breast pump warranty if you use it without a backflow protector.
Q: Which parts of a Spectra® breast pump need replacing?
A: Consider replacing the breastshields, tubing and all accessible silicone parts every 6 months or so to ensure optimal pumping performance. Investigate your breast pump parts for buildup of residue in cracks and crevices as well. This applies to discoloration as well as this could be a bacterial buildup if you are unable to remove this through conventional cleaning.
Q: Does the Spectra® backflow protector touch the breast milk?
A: When used correctly and as per manufacturer instruction, the backflow protector stops milk from entering the tubing. If the breast milk should somehow enter the tubing, we recommend replacing the tubing altogether. If tubing should become wet, make sure it is completely dry before pumping so as not to possibly damage the breast pump motor.
Q: Do you have to wash the Spectra® backflow protectors every time after use?
A:No it isn’t necessary. We do recommend that periodically, the backflow protector and membranes are taken apart and placed on a clean surface. This allows any moisture or condensation buildup to air dry properly.
A: Even the smallest amount of condensation within the backflow protector is enough to affect breast pump suction. After each pumping session, you can disassemble the backflow protector. Clean this vital breast pump component and allow it to air dry according to the Spectra® recommendations as per manufacturer instructions.
