Abstract

See full text

A breast pump includes a cup assembly for engaging at least a portion of a breast including a nipple and an area surrounding the nipple, a vacuum pump assembly for applying a vacuum to the cup assembly, a container fluidly connected to the cup assembly for receiving milk expressed from the nipple of the breast, a sensor assembly positioned in the container, and a controller. The sensor assembly includes a first contact and a second contact. The controller includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that when executed by the processor configure the controller to periodically detect a measurement indicative of a capacitance between the first and second contacts of the sensor assembly, and operate the vacuum pump assembly to apply a vacuum to the cup assembly based at least in part on the detected measurement indicative of the capacitance between the first and second contacts.
