Elvie Valves (2-pack)
The elastomeric valves function as a one-way mechanical check-valve to maintain the vacuum cycle; material fatigue or debris in the valve flap prevents the component from seating flush. This results in a loss of peak negative pressure during the expression phase. Replacing these components restores the pneumatic seal required for efficient milk extraction.

Elvie Seals (2-pack)
The green seals create the primary airtight barrier between the electronic hub and the washable milk container. Over time, heat exposure causes the silicone to lose its Shore hardness and shape, leading to micro-gaps that allow vacuum leaks. New seals ensure a hermetic connection between the vacuum motor and the flange.

Elvie Breast Shield
The polypropylene shield can undergo thermal warping if sterilized outside of recommended temperature/time parameters, specifically in microwave steam bags. If the shield's mating surface is no longer perfectly planar, it cannot form a stable seal against the pump hub, causing a significant drop in suction efficiency.
