Medela Symphony Double Breast Pump Kit FAQs

How often should I wash and sanitize the components of this kit?

The breast pump kit and bottles should be washed and sanitized before the first use. After that, each one of them should be washed after each use and sanitized once per day. The tubing should be washed only if milk is in tubing or tubing is soiled.

How should I wash this product?

• Separate parts for washing.
• Rinse all separated parts that came in contact with breast and breast milk in cool water in order to remove breast milk residue.
• Once rinsed, parts that have touched the breast or breast milk should be placed in a clean wash basin, dedicated to only cleaning these items. Do not place parts directly in the sink.
• Soak all separated parts in warm, soapy water for 5 minutes.
• Wash each part with a clean dish-cloth or soft brush.
• Rinse all separated parts with clear water.
• Place parts on a clean surface and/or towel.
• Allow all parts to air dry.
• Store dry parts in a clean, cool place when not in use. Do NOT store wet or damp parts.

Alternatively, wash in dishwasher

• Wash all separated parts on top rack of dishwasher.
• Allow all breast pump parts to air dry in a clean area.
• Store dry parts in a clean, cool place when not in use.
• If the individual components of the pump kit are cleaned in a dishwasher, parts may be discolored by food pigments. This will not impact part function.

How should I sanitize this product?

• Separate all parts that come in contact with breast milk.
• Wash hands thoroughly
• Fill a pot with enough water to cover all parts.
• Bring water to a boil.

• NOTE: If you notice a white residue on your parts after boiling, you may have a high mineral content in your water. Remove residue by wiping parts with a clean washcloth and air dry. We recommended that you boil parts with distilled water to prevent substantial mineral build-up over time which may compromise your parts.
• Allow water to cool and gently remove parts from water with tongs.
