Important
It is recommended to provide each mother an own personal pump
set and to clean, disinfect and sterilize (e.g. autoclave) all compo-
nents after each use or, latest each time they are handed over to
the next mother. Use by more than one mother without adequate
sterilization may pose a health risk (e.g. risk of cross-contamination)
and voids the warranty.
Cleaning
Disassemble and thoroughly wash all parts in warm, soapy water.
Rinse in clear water.
Disinfecting
Disinfect all parts by washing in a thermic washing machine
(at approx. 93° C).
Sterilizing
Prior sterilizing visually check parts if clean and intact. Sterilize all
parts by autoclaving at 134°C for 3 (or 18) minutes or at 125°C
for 15 – 20 minutes. Do not stack parts or apply external pressure
to avoid damages. Alternatively, the parts can be EO-sterilized
(Ethylene Oxide).
Inspect the tubing after each pumping session for condensation
and/or milk.
If condensation appears in the tubing
Let the pump run after you have completed pumping with tubings
attached for 1–2 minutes or until dry.
If milk gets into the tubing
If milk accidentally gets into the tubing turn off the pump and unplug
from power source. Remove and clean the tubing according to the
instructions «Prior to first use and once daily». Shake water droplets
out and hang to air-dry. For faster drying, attach the tubing to pump
and run for 1–2 minutes or until dry.
After cleaning, when parts are not in use, put in a clean zip lock
bag or store in a container with lid. Alternatively, the parts can be
wrapped in a clean paper or cloth towel.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching
the breast and pump parts.
• Avoid touching the inside of bottles and lids.
• Clean the breast and surrounding area with a damp cloth.
• Do not use soap or alcohol which can dry the skin and cause
cracked nipples.
