Using a standard thermal disinfector for baby bottles (not a microwave
oven)
EQUIPMENT:
– Thermal disinfector with a runtime of at least 6 minutes.
PROCEDURE:
CAUTION
Risk of infection due to inadequate disinfection
Inadequate disinfection encourages the growth of bacteria and thus increases the risk of
infection.
• Make sure that the disinfector is clean and operating properly before every disinfection
process.
• Allow the disinfection to continue until the disinfector switches off automatically or the
minimum disinfection time stated in the instructions for use of the disinfector has
elapsed. Do not switch the device off prematurely.
CAUTION
Risk of infection due to moisture
Moisture encourages the growth of bacteria.
• Remove all parts from the disinfector as soon as the disinfection process is finished and
allow them to dry.
Regarding the performance of the disinfection, the duration of the disinfection procedure and
the quantity of water required, follow the instructions for use of the disinfector you are using.
DRYING:
• After the disinfection process is complete, place all parts on a dry, clean and absorbent
surface and allow them to dry completely. Or leave all individual parts in the closed
thermal disinfector for max. 24 hours until the next use.
4.6 Care of the pressure gauge and connection tubing
Wipe the pressure gauge and connection tubing with a damp cloth as necessary. If the con-
nection tubing is visibly soiled, replace it.
4.7 Inspecting
Inspect all product components after each cleaning and disinfection. Replace any broken,
deformed or seriously discoloured parts.
