• Make sure that you check for wear and tear on tubes, plastic and silicone parts.
• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.
CLEANING THE TUBES
The Crane Double Electric Breast Pump is a closed system, therefore cleaning the
tubes is not necessary. If you see moisture in the tubes after pumping, remove
the tubes from the breast shields. Turn the unit on for a few minutes until the
moisture is gone.
TUBE CARE for Moisture in the tubes
If you see still moisture in the tubing:
•
Wash tubing in warm, soapy water.
•
Rinse with clean water
•
Shake out water droplets and hang to dry.
After each pumping session
• Rinse each part that has come into contact with the breast and/or breast milk
immediately after pumping. Parts that come into contact with the breast and
breast milk are; bottles, breast shield body, silicone 3D Cushions, diaphragm. This
avoids buildup of milk residue in the collection kit bottles/parts and growth of
any bacteria.
• Wash all parts above in warm soapy water using any fragrance -free mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. This degreases the parts of the milk collection kit. Grease
residue affects suction and passage of milk into the collection bottles.
• Use a separate cleaning sponge and bottle brush with a smaller brush to reach
the tiny nooks of the collection kit parts.
• Rinse each piece thoroughly with warm water for 10 to 15 seconds.
• You may sanitize the parts through a sterilization method after each use.
• Parts may become damaged or deform if exposed to high temperatures for any
more than 5 minutes.
• Make sure that you check on wear and tear on tubes and plastic or silicone
parts.
• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.
•
Allow to air-dry thoroughly. Place sanitized pump parts and bottle brush on a
clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust.
Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer
germs to the items.
• Make sure that all parts are totally dry prior to use. Wet or da mp parts will
cause poor suction. Once all parts are totally dry, re-assemble the milk collection
kit.
