Medela Breast Pump Kit Care Cleaning

Breast Pump Kit Care
Cleaning – Drying – Storing
Good hygiene will help protect the breast
milk that you give to your baby. For the best
protection when handling your breast milk,
wash your hands with soap and water, and
follow the guidelines below for cleaning,
drying and storing your kit.
If your baby is premature or ill, consult with
your healthcare provider for further cleaning
and storage instructions.
See Medela's instruction booklet for detailed kit assembly, cleaning &
pumping information.
How do I clean my breast pump kit?
1. Finish pumping.
• While the pump is still running, disconnect
tubing from breast shields.
• Continue to let pump run for 2 minutes
with tubing attached. This will eliminate
condensation that naturally results
from humidity.
2. Take apart kit and store breast milk.
• With tubing still connected to pump, separate all parts of your kit
that come in contact with your breast or breast milk.
A. Remove bottles from
breast shields and
store breast milk.
C. Remove the white
membranes from
the valves.
B. Twist and pull the
yellow valves off the
breast shields.
D. Separate breast shields
if using the PersonalFit
™
breast shields that have
two pieces.
3. Wash Kit.
• Rinse all separated parts in cool water to
remove breast milk
• Wash and Rinse -or- Dishwasher
- Wash all
separated parts
in warm, soapy
water.
- Rinse all
separated parts
with clear water.
If sanitizing your kit, separate all parts that come in contact with your
breast or breast milk and boil for 10 minutes or follow the instructions on
Medela's Quick Clean Micro-Steam

Quicker Cleaning
You can use Medela's Quick Clean wipes in
between pumping sessions and then clean your
kit once you get home. Follow instructions on
Quick Clean package.
Drying & Storing
Allow all breast pump kit parts to air dry in a clean area and store dry
parts when not in use. Do NOT store wet or damp parts.
When do I care for my tubing?
If your tubing comes in contact with breast milk clean it by following
these directions.
• Rinse and run water through tubing to remove breast milk.
• Dry tubing by attaching it to pump and running for 2 minutes
or until dry. This will eliminate condensation that naturally
results from humidity.
