❹
Rinse every part.
❺
Let them dry in an open air on a paper towel or a clean linen.
NOTES:
It is better to clean all parts in contact with the breast milk immediately after using the breast pump. It
facilitates the cleaning and avoids the development of bacteria.
If condensation appears inside the tube or when milk enters inside, rinse the tube in order to remove
liquid residues.
The interface bottle prevents any liquid penetration into the breast pump. It is therefore important to
clean it with soapy water and disinfect it in boiling water (10 minutes), as soon as it has been soiled.
Check if the breast pump is not wet or damp. If it is, do not use it.
Do not use the milk that penetrated into the interface bottle or tubes. The tubes should be briefly
dipped into boiling water (10 minutes) and then thoroughly dried. The tubing colour may change but it
will not alter its good functioning.

Disinfection at home
Accessories concerned:
KOLOR breast shield
Collection container
Cap
For full-term babies (without medical problems), disinfect before the first use and once a day. For premature
babies or those with weakened immune systems, disinfect before the first use and after each use.
➊
Disinfect every part in boiling water (10 minutes), in a dishwasher or in a microwave steriliser*.
*Refer to the manufacturer’s data for the microwave sterilizer without exceeding 1000 Watt.
➋
Let them dry in an open air on a paper towel or clean linen.
NOTES:
In the case of intensive disinfection (premature infants or with a weakened immune system), boiling
water is the only method that guarantees an optimal lifetime of the accessories.
If the disinfection takes place in boiling water and in case of hard water, 2 or 3 drops of white vinegar
can be added in the water to avoid whitish deposits on the parts.
In the case of disinfection with a dishwasher, the plastic parts may be discoloured by food pigments. It
does not affect their functioning.
Regularly check the condition of your breast shields during use, cleaning and disinfection.

Cleaning and sterilization by healthcare establishments
The autoclavable KIT EXPRESSION (containing an autoclavable KOLOR breast shield, a collection container, a
cap and a silicone tube) can be autoclaved.
Breast shields, caps, collection containers and silicone tubes have been designed to be sterilized at 125°C
during 30 minutes or 134°C during 18 minutes. The total number of cycles should not exceed 50 cycles. Do not
use the breast shield in case of damage or failure. The interface bottle is not autoclavable. It is therefore
important to discard it as soon as it has been soiled. For more information, please refer to the autoclavable
breast shield instructions for use.
