This product has been designed for single user use and

should not be shared between mothers.

Disassemble all parts prior to cleaning and

sterilization. Especially be sure to remove the valve from

the breastshield and separate the white membrane from the

valve prior to cleaning or sterilization. See parts 1, 2 and 3

on breastpump parts lists (Page 28).

IMPORTANT

Prior To First Use

To Sterilize in the Hospital:

All disassembled kit parts (parts 1-6, page 28) 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 to them.

• Allow parts to cool before applying external pressure.

NOTE: A white or gray tint may appear on tubing and other parts
after sterilization. This is normal and will not affect the breastpump’s
performance.

If gas sterilization is used, residual testing is recommended to
determine the proper length of aeration.

To Sanitize at Home:

Disassemble all parts that come in contact with breast or milk,
and sanitize by boiling for 10 minutes.

After each use:

• Disassemble and wash all parts that come in contact with

the breast and milk in warm soapy water.

• Rinse in clear water.

•

Air-dry on clean towel and cover parts when not in use.

All parts may also be washed in top rack of dishwasher.

For Quicker Cleaning:

Medela offers Quick Clean™Micro-Steam™Bags for daily kit

disinfection.

Uses

• Collect breastmilk during short-term absences from the baby.

• Maintain a milk supply if breastfeeding is temporarily

interrupted.

• Relieve engorgement or sore nipples. Pumping with

simultaneous massage is helpful to relieve engorgement.

NOTE: For long-term pumping when the baby is not available to feed
at the breast at least part of the time every day (a premature baby, for
example), use of a full-size electric pump (Lactina

®

or Symphony

®

Breastpump) is suggested. These pumps can be rented inexpensively
for home use. For the names of rental stations or breastfeeding
specialists in your area, call 1-800-TELL YOU (1-800-835-5968).

Cleaning & Sterilization

Follow these cleaning instructions in the hospital or at home
unless you are otherwise instructed by your healthcare
professional.

Hygiene

Wash hands before touching breasts or
containers, and avoid touching the inside
of containers or lids.

Preparation

Prior to cleaning,

take apart all parts of your breastpump acces­sory kit. Be especially sure to remove the valve from the breast­shield

and separate the membrane from the valve prior to cleaning.

5

Tubing Care:

Inspect tubing after each pumping session for condensation and

or milk.

If condensation appears in tubing:

To eliminate condensation after you have completed pumping,
continue running the pump with the tubing attached for another
1-2 minutes or until dry.

If milk appears in tubing:

1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.

2.

Remove and disassemble the tubing, pump connector,

piston,
cylinder, membranes and membrane caps (parts vary by pump
used). Wash in soapy water, then rinse in clear cold water.

3.

Shake water droplets out of tubing and hang to air-dry. For
faster drying, attach tubing to pump and run pump 1-2 minutes
or until dry, or pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through
the tubing to dry.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the temperature in the room, car or outdoors
exceeds 77° F / 25° C, chill milk immediately to preserve freshness.

4

Storing Breastmilk

Check with your hospital for specific storage instructions.

When freezing, do not fill containers more than 3/4 full to allow

space for expansion. Label containers with the date of pumping.

76

Battery Operation

The Double Select™Breastpump can be powered by two (2) C

1.5V alkaline batteries.

11

To install the batteries, press the tab
(PRESS) down to open the cover of
the battery compartment.

Insert the batteries in the correct
position (+ and -) as indicated inside
the battery compartment and snap the
cover back into place.

CAUTION: When using the pump with batteries, the pumping cycle
may slow as the batteries wear down. Slower cycles may cause some
discomfort because the vacuum will be held longer on the breast. If
this happens, reduce the vacuum with the adjustment regulator and
replace the batteries with fresh ones as soon as possible.

NOTE: The batteries do not need to be removed to use electricity to
power the pump.

Electric Operation

11

the transformer cord into the hole on
the back of the motor unit. (Use only
the Medela transformer #9200013)
