2.4 Tubing Cleaning

Inspect the tubing for condensation or milk after each use. Wash or
replace the tubing immediately after use, if milk is observed in the
tubing.
• Rinse and run cold water through tubing to remove breast milk.
• Wash tubing in warm soapy water.
• Rinse tubing with clear water.
• Hang to air dry.
• You may also dry tubing by attaching it to pump and running for
2 minutes or until dry. This will eliminate condensation that naturally
results from humidity.
• If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
• Tubing may appear cloudy after boiling.
