Using the Hospital Breast Pump, Milk Bottles and Labels

Before You Start

• Wash your hands thoroughly before every pumping session.

• Each mother receives a new pump set for hospital use.

• Each pump set is good for 24 hours only.

• Use a new container for every pumping session.

Containers Provided

• Colostrum container: 35 ml disposable

• Breast milk bottles: 80 ml or 150 ml disposable

  Only use these disposable bottles and avoid containers with colored tops.

Using the One-Day Pump Set (Lactina/Symphony)

• The one-day pump set comes ready to use and does not need cleaning before first use.

• After each pumping session, clean the attachments.

• The pump machine itself must be wiped with hospital cleaning wipes between patients.

Cleaning and Care After Each Use

1. Disassemble: Separate all parts. Remove the white valve membrane from the breast shield connector.

2. Rinse: Rinse breast shield, connector, and white valve membrane with clear water.

3. Wash: Hand-wash parts in warm, soapy water using drinking-quality water, then rinse well in clear water.

4. Dry: Use a clean towel or paper towel.

5. Store: Place dry, clean parts in a new zip-lock bag.

The tubing does not need cleaning after each use unless you see milk inside.

Caution

• The one-day disposable pump set can be used for 24 hours only.

• Do not steam sterilize or autoclave the disposable set.

• A reusable breast pump set can also be used for 24 hours, but must be sent to CSSD (Central Sterile Services Department) for sterilization before a new set is issued.

Following these steps keeps your hospital breast pump clean, safe, and ready for every pumping session.
