Uses; Cleaning & Sterilization; Prior To First Use; After Each Use - Medela Double Select Instructivo De Uso Y Armado

Uses

• Collect breastmilk during short-term absences from the baby.
• Maintain a milk supply if breastfeeding is temporarily
interrupted.
• Relieve engorgement or sore nipples. Pumping with
simultaneous massage is helpful to relieve engorgement.
NOTE: For long-term pumping when the baby is not available to feed
at the breast at least part of the time every day (a premature baby, for
example), use of a full-size electric pump (Lactina
Breastpump) is suggested. These pumps can be rented inexpensively
for home use. For the names of rental stations or breastfeeding
specialists in your area, call 1-800-TELL YOU (1-800-835-5968).
Cleaning & Sterilization
Follow these cleaning instructions in the hospital or at home
unless you are otherwise instructed by your healthcare
professional.
Hygiene
Wash hands before touching breasts or
containers, and avoid touching the inside
of containers or lids.
Preparation
Prior to cleaning, take apart all parts of your breastpump acces-
sory kit. Be especially sure to remove the valve from the breast-
shield and separate the membrane from the valve prior to cleaning.

Prior To First Use

To Sterilize in the Hospital:
All disassembled kit parts (parts 1-6, page 28) can be autoclaved
to a maximum of 272° F for 3 minutes at 29 PSIG or 250° F for
15-20 minutes at 15 PSIG.
To avoid damage during and immediately after sterilization:
• Sterilize parts without applying external pressure to them.
• Allow parts to cool before applying external pressure.
NOTE: A white or gray tint may appear on tubing and other parts
after sterilization. This is normal and will not affect the breastpump's
performance.
If gas sterilization is used, residual testing is recommended to
determine the proper length of aeration.
To Sanitize at Home:
Disassemble all parts that come in contact with breast or milk,
and sanitize by boiling for 10 minutes.

After each use:

• Disassemble and wash all parts that come in contact with
the breast and milk in warm soapy water.
• Rinse in clear water.
• Air-dry on clean towel and cover parts when not in use.
All parts may also be washed in top rack of dishwasher.
