Cleaning and hygiene
• Perform all steps as described in the instructions for use of the Medela breast pump - disassemble, wash, sanitize.
• Clean the breast shield immediately after use to avoid drying up of milk residues and to prevent growth of bacteria.
• Only use drinking-quality water for cleaning.
• Take care not to damage parts when using a brush.
• Do not use abrasive washing-up liquids/ detergents when cleaning the breast pump or
pump set parts.
• Disassemble the pump-set into its individual parts.
Wash - before 1st use and after each use
• Rinse all parts with cold, clear drinking-quality water (approx. 20 °C).
• Clean these parts with plenty of warm, soapy water (approx. 30 °C). Use a commercially
available washing-up liquid, preferably without artificial fragrances and colouring
(pH neutral).
• Rinse the parts with cold, clear drinking-quality water for 10-15 seconds (approx. 20 °C). Dry after washing.
Sanitise - before 1st use and once a day
• Cover the breast shield with water and boil at least 5 minutes. As an alternative to boiling use
Quick Clean bags in the microwave in accordance with the instructions.
Drying / Storage
• Dry with a clean cloth or leave to dry on a clean cloth. Put the clean parts in a clean storage bag or a clean environment. Do not store parts in an airtight container/bag if
moist. It is important that all residual moisture dries.
CAUTION
• The breast shield and connector are personal care items intended for use by a single user only. It should not be shared between mothers.
• Use Medela original accessories only.
• Inspect before each use. Replace mouldy, damaged or worn parts.
