  "question": "How should Medela breast pump parts be cleaned and sanitized between uses?",
  "answer": "Medela Freestyle Spare Parts Kit: After each use, disassemble milk-contact parts, wash them in warm soapy water, rinse with clear water, air-dry on a clean towel and keep covered when unused. All parts should be completely dry before reassembly. Before first use, the pump kit should be sanitized in boiling water for 10 minutes. The parts must not be sterilized in an autoclave. MEDELA 101029307: The set is not dishwasher-safe and should be hand-washed. The Quick Clean Micro-Steam bags are intended for microwave sanitization. Medela Symphony PLUS® Breast Pump: Parts contacting breast or milk must be taken apart and washed immediately after use; hand washing or top-rack dishwasher cleaning is allowed. Before first use and once daily, immerse pump-set parts and boil for at least five minutes, or use Quick Clean microwave bags as directed.",
