Clinical Trial Summary

This research involves feasibility testing of design concepts to support device development of an electric breast pump. The purpose is to evaluate a prototype device for feasibility purposes and not health outcomes.

Description:

This engineering evaluation involves the voluntary participation of healthy adult lactating women for feasibility testing of breast shield designs. Participants will be asked to rate the breast shield design for fit, comfort, and the ease of use. In addition, participants will be asked to rate a comparison of the device relative to their experiences with their current commercial breast pump and breastfeeding their baby.
