In hot climates, avoid storing the bag containing expressed
breast milk in a car, office, cabinet etc. Milk must be
sufficiently chilled to avoid spoilage.
4. When You Return home
As soon as you reach home, put the gel packs into the
freezer and the expressed breast milk into the refrigerator
or freezer. Milk can be stored for up to 48 hours (from first
expression) in the refrigerator and up to three months in
the freezer or 6 months in a zero-degree freezer. Always store
breast milk in the back of the refrigerator or freezer, not in
the door. You MUST correctly sanitize* your ISIS i

breast pump body and storage containers before each use.

3. On Arrival
As soon as you arrive at your destination, put the gel packs
in the freezer until you are ready to go home. The gel packs
must be in the freezer 2 hours before use.
When you are ready to express, you must wash your hands
thoroughly and clean your breasts and nipples with a clean
damp cloth.
Remove the funnel and travel cover, screw the container
onto the pump as shown in the instruction booklet. When
you have finished pumping, unscrew the container from
the pump body, seal with the screw ring fitted with its
sealing disk, and place the container of expressed milk
into the refrigerator immediately.
Wash the pump body, replace the funnel and travel cover and
place in the insulated bag. If you wish to use the pump again,
you must resanitize.
When you are ready to leave, take the container of breast
milk from the refrigerator. Take the gel packs from the freezer
compartment and place them inside the travel bag on top of
the container. This will keep the milk cool during your journey
home. Ensure containers are transported upright within the
travel bag to prevent leaking.
