Effective cleaning and disinfection were demonstrated by an independent accredited test laboratory
using the dishwashing detergent “Palmolive Original” (Colgate Palmolive GmbH, Hamburg, Germany)
and a steam disinfector (iQ24 Electronic Steam Steriliser, Philips AVENT, Suffolk, England, operated in
mode 1) used according to the recommended procedure described in these Instructions for Use. Use of
alternate disinfector devices or methods is in the responsibility of the user.
Possible Alternative: In boiling water
