Abstract
In a pump arrangement () for use with a double breast pump device, a first air conduit () and a second air conduit () have a function in connecting respective expression kits () to the pump arrangement (). Each of the air conduits () N is connectable to and disconnectable from a suction side and a discharge side, respectively, of a pump () that is included in the pump arrangement (). Further, the air conduits () are connectable to and disconnectable from each other directly through an intermediate switching mechanism () arranged between the air conduits () at a bypass position with respect to the pump (), so that it is possible to directly transfer vacuum between the air conduits () and to thereby support the functioning of the pump () which may be relatively small for that reason.
