Hospital grade pumps such as the Ameda Elite are designed to provide mothers with the utmost in efficiency, durability and reliability. While hospital grade pumps can be used by any breastfeeding mother, they are highly recommended for mothers who are expressing milk under special circumstances such as to increase milk production, induce lactation, and feed a premature or sick infant as well as to feed twins or other multiples.

Hospital grade pumps are the only breast pumps that are available for purchase and rent. These pumps can be rented from a hospital or lactation center. Since they are FDA approved as safe for multiple users, each mother who uses a hospital grade pump only needs to purchase a new milk collection kit like the Ameda Dual HygieniKit.
