MILK BACKING UP IN TUBING - SYMPHONY

  1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
  2. Remove and disassemble the tubing, protective membrane and membrane cap. Wash in soapy water then rinse in cold clear water.
  3. Shake water droplets out and hang to air-dry. For faster drying, attach tubings to pump and run pump 1-2 minutes or until dry, or pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through the tubings to dry.
  4. Make sure that valve membranes are undamaged and clean. Replace if necessary.
  5. Use a damp cloth to wipe the pump and the diaphragm. Do not immerse the pump in water.
  6. When components are completely dry, reassemble breastpump and kit.

IF CONDENSATION APPEARS IN TUBING

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