Good hygiene will help protect the
breastmilk that you give to your baby. For
the best protection when handling your
breastmilk, wash your hands with soap
and water, and follow the guidelines for
cleaning, drying, and storing your kit.
How do I disassemble my kit?
1 Finish pumping.
While the pump
is still running,
disconnect tubing from
breastshields.
(Note: It is important to let
pump run for 2minutes with
tubing attached. This will
eliminate condensation that
naturally results from humidity.)

Drying & Storing
Allow all breastpump kit parts to air dry in a clean area and store dry
parts when not in use. Do NOT store wet or damp parts.
Sanitizing
In addition to washing, you may sanitize your kit parts once per day by
following the instructions on Medela’s Quick Clean™ Micro-Steam™ bag
or boiling.
If boiling your kit:
1 Separate all parts that come in contact with your breast and
breastmilk.
2 Choose a pot that is large enough so the kit parts DO NOT
rest on the sides or bottom while boiling.
3 Fill the pot with water and bring to a boil.
4 Carefully drop parts into boiling water, and boil for 10 minutes.
5 Gently remove parts from water with tongs and place on a clean
surface.
6 See Drying & Storing section (above) for further instructions.
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.

To Sterilize Kits in the Hospital
All disassembled parts 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.
• Allow parts to cool before applying external pressure.
Note: if gas sterilization is used, residual testing is recommended to
determine the proper length of aeration.
Tubing Care
It is not necessary to clean tubing after each use. If your tubing comes
in contact with breastmilk clean it by following these directions.
• Rinse and run cold water through tubing to remove breastmilk.
• Dry tubing by attaching it to pump and running for 2minutes or
until dry. This will eliminate condensation that naturally results from
humidity.
• In addition to washing, you may sanitize by following the
instructions on page 8.
• Tubing may appear cloudy after boiling or microsteaming.

Troubleshooting
If you feel the pump is not giving sufficient suction, you can check
several things:
• Make sure white membrane is clean and lies completely flat on the
yellow valve.
• Make sure breastpump is plugged in.
• Check and secure all connections of kit and breastpump.
• Verify that yellow valve on breastpump kit is fitted correctly into the
breastshield connector.
• Ensure that the pale yellow ends of the tubing fit securely into
connectors and the triangular two-tone yellow ends into the
membrane caps. (Refer to Symphony kit assembly instructions.)
• Inspect Symphony membranes. If membranes appear to be worn or
have a tear they need to be replaced (Article#8200094).
Tips for Success
• Prior to pumping, relax, take a few deep breaths and think of
your baby.
• Using a breastpump should be easy and comfortable. The first few
times may seem a bit awkward, but you will quickly find your best
position and pumping speed.
• Many new mothers find that in the first week or two of breastfeeding,
they may experience nipple tenderness and soreness. This is
normal and will improve as both mom and baby learn this new skill.
If soreness persists, contact a lactation consultant or healthcare
provider to assist in proper breastshield sizing or comfortable
breastfeeding techniques.
• To soothe sore nipples, you may purchase Tender Care™ products
by visiting your Medela retailer. To locate a retailer, visit
www.medela.com or call 1-800-TELL YOU.
