Cleaning in
hospitals
The following cleaning instructions are general recommendations
and may individually be adjusted based on the hospital‘s specific
directives and cleaning practices.
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 at
home
Follow these cleaning instructions unless you are told otherwise by
your healthcare professional.
Prior to first use and once daily
• Disassemble, wash and rinse all parts of your pump kit that
come in contact with the breast and milk (a+b+c+d+m+n+o).
• Place parts in a saucepan of sufficient capacity.
• Fill with cold water until the parts are well covered. Optionally,
a tea spoon of citric acid may be added to avoid a build-up of
limescale.
• Heat it up and allow to boil for 5 minutes.
• Remove from stove and drain water off.
• Dry parts with a clean towel.
Alternatively, the disassembled parts can be sanitized in top rack
of dishwasher or steam-sterilized.
Note: Food colorings may discolor components which will not
affect performance.
After each use
• Disassemble and handwash all parts of your pump kit that
come in contact with the breast and milk (a+b+c+d+m+n+o)
in warm, soapy water.
• Rinse in clear water.
• Dry parts with a clean towel.
