bubbles on the parts. Leave the parts immersed for the amount of time indicated on the
packaging of the disinfectant associated with the concentration chosen for the solution.
- Remove the disinfected parts and rinse abundantly with warm potable water.
- Dispose of the solution following the instructions provided by the disinfectant
manufacturer.
method B: Sanitise the accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4-C5-C6 by boiling
them in water for 10 minutes; use demineralised or distilled water to prevent calcium
deposits.
method C: Sanitise the accessories C1.1-C1.2-C1.3-C1.4-C2-C3-C4-C5-C6 with a hot
steam steriliser for baby-bottle (not the microwave type). Perform the process faithfully
following the instructions of the steriliser. To ensure that the disinfection is effective,
