Implementation:
- Fill a container big enough to hold all of the parts to disinfect with a solution of potable
water and disinfectant, according to the proportions indicated on the packaging of the
disinfectant.
- Completely immerse each part in the solution, taking care to avoid the formation of air
bubbles on the parts. Leave the parts immersed for the amount of time indicated on the
packaging of the disinfectant associated with the concentration chosen for the solution.
- Remove the disinfected parts and rinse abundantly with warm potable water.
- Dispose of the solution following the instructions provided by the disinfectant
manufacturer.
method B: Sanitise the accessories 1-2-5-6-8-9-11.1-11.2-11.3-11.4 by boiling them in

steriliser for baby-bottle (not the microwave type). Perform the process faithfully following
the instructions of the steriliser. To ensure that the disinfection is effective, choose a steriliser
with an operating cycle of at least 6 minutes.
