Cleaning
Step 1 Separate and rinse all parts, including syringe plunger, under running water to wash away milk residue.

Step 2 Soak all separate parts in warm soapy water for 5 minutes.

Step 3 Reinsert the plunger into the syringe and fill with warm soapy water. Connect to Bridge and extension tubing (if used; sold separately for N8001-5 and N8001-30). Flush and repeat several times.

Step 4 Fill syringe with clean water and reconnect to Bridge and extension tubing (if used). Flush and repeat several times.

Step 5 Fill syringe with air and reconnect to Bridge and extension tubing (if used). Force air through tubing several times to remove water droplets.

Step 6 Disconnect all parts, including syringe plunger, and place on a clean, dry surface and allow to air dry. Store dry parts in plastic bag/container when not in use.

Caution: Do not dry the components with paper towel or similar as this will shorten the life of the device. Do not store wet or damp parts.

Sanitizing
Sanitize once daily. Do not use sterilizers or microwave.
