Abstract
A human lactation system allowing hands free operation and full mobility during use. All required hardware is attached to a user worn vest. The vest is fully adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of sizes and shapes of users. A pair of breast cups are mounted within the vest to provide an interface between the breast and vacuum system. Vacuum quick connect fittings and quick release valves are attached to the breast cups for convenience and safety. A vacuum pump assembly is mounted in the front side of the vest and fluidly connected to the breast cups thereby providing vacuum to extract lactate from a breast. The vacuum magnitude and cycle frequency are controlled by a microprocessor contained within the keypad/controller assembly. The microprocessor controlled vacuum cycle closely mimics an infant's natural sucking frequency. The system is powered by a battery pack attached to the back side of the vest.
