Cleaning; Washing And Sanitising The Pump Set - Medela Swing Maxi Mode D'emploi

5. Cleaning

5.1 Washing and sanitising the pump set

Washing and sanitising are two different activities. They must be done separately to protect
8 you and your baby, and to maintain the performance of the device.
Wash – To clean the surfaces of the parts by physically removing contamination.
Sanitise – To kill microorganisms, such as fungi, bacteria or viruses, that may be present on
the surfaces of the parts.
To keep the pump parts clean and hygienic:
• Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use. This will
help to remove breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
• Only use drinking-quality tap water or bottled water for cleaning.
• Do not place pump parts directly in the sink to rinse or wash. Use a clean wash basin used
only for infant feeding items.
• Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry.
• Do not use disinfectants for cleaning.
To prevent damage to the tubing.
• Do not clean the tubing as described below. Follow the instructions in section 5.3.
Pay attention to the following:
• Take care not to damage parts of the pump set during cleaning.
• Store the dried pump set in a clean bag/container until next use.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mould may develop.
• If you notice a white residue on the parts after boiling, your water may have a high mineral
content. Remove residue by wiping parts with a clean towel and allow to air dry.
• Distilled water is recommended when boiling parts to prevent substantial mineral build-up
over time, which may compromise your parts.
i
If using the dishwasher, parts may become discoloured. This will not impact the part function.
