Medela Lactina and Classic Breast Pump General Instructions User Manual

If gas sterilization is used, residual testing is recom-

mended to determine the proper length of aeration.

Prior to first use and before first use each day:
Disassemble, wash and rinse all parts of your kit and breast-

pump that come in contact with the breast and milk. Tubing,

cylinder and piston, including rubber parts, should be washed

weekly, at minimum, or when milk or condensation is visible.

*If using Classic

™

Breastpump parts, DO

NOT USE SOAP, ONLY WATER, TO CLEAN

BARRIER FILTER.

• Place parts in a 4-5 quart pan.
• Fill to within 1 inch of rim with cold water.
• Cover and boil for 20 minutes.
• Remove from stove, drain water off and allow parts 

to cool in open pan. NOTE: Do not set pan back on 

hot burner.

• Remove all parts and allow to air dry on a clean 

surface.  Cover parts when not in use.

• Take apart and wash all parts that come in contact with

the breast and milk (except Classic breastpump

barrier/filter) in soapy water.

• Rinse in clear water.
• Air-dry on clean towel and cover parts when not in use. 

Follow these cleaning instructions in the hospital or at home

unless you are told otherwise by your physician or another

medical professional.

All disassembled parts can be autoclaved to a maxi-

mum of 272°F for 3 minutes at 29 PSIG or 250°F for

15 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.

Autoclaving the tubing may cause clouding or 

discoloration which will not affect kit performance.

Take apart all parts of your accessory kit prior to cleaning

and sterilization. Take special care to remove the valve from

the breastshield and separate the membrane from the valve

prior to cleaning or sterilization (see parts 2, 3, and 4 on

breastpump parts lists).
