Abstract
An automatically-modulated breast pump system for connection to a fixed-suction central vacuum system is disclosed. The breast pump system comprises a regulator adapted to be connected to the fixed-suction central vacuum system and adapted to generate a modulated-suction output. The breast pump system further comprises a reservoir adapted to be coupled to the modulated-suction output, and a breast pump flange adapted to be coupled to both the reservoir and a breast of a woman. The modulated-suction output from the regulator is applied to the breast pump flange on the breast to stimulate the breast to generate milk.
