Tubing Care:
Inspect tubing after each pumping session for condensation and/or milk.
It is not necessary to clean tubing after every use.
If condensation appears in tubing:
To eliminate condensation after you have completed pumping, continue
running the pump with the tubing(s) attached for another 1-2 minutes
or until dry.
If There Is An Overflow:
If milk accidentally gets into the tubings:
1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
2. Remove and disassemble the tubing. Wash in soapy water, then
rinse in cold clear water.

attach tubings to pump and run pump 1-2 minutes or until dry, or
pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through the tubings to dry.
