Long Term Storage - Lifesaver 4000UF Instruction Manual

long term storage

If storing your LIFESAVER bottle for a prolonged period of time
(i.e. between trips) you should always perform a front-side wash.
Ensure that no water remains in the teat end of the cartridge. you
will need to discard the activated carbon filter and the pre-filter
disc. Also see 'Keep the membranes wet' on page 6.
sterilisation
Fill a jug or similar vessel with 1 litre of tap water and add
3ml of Milton Fluid (or compatible sterilising fluid) to make a
sterilising solution. Fill the LIFESAVER bottle with the sterilising
solution to the top of the cartridge fins and screw base back on.
gently agitate. Leave for 1 hour. Invert and leave for a further 1
hour. Now pump the sterilising solution through the bottle and
discard to drain.
Refill the LIFESAVER bottle with fresh tap water and pump through
to drain. Dis-assemble the bottle and remove the cartridge.
Remove the cap and remove the teat from the cap. Clean all parts
except the cartridge itself. you may use a mild washing-up liquid.
Dry thoroughly and then reassemble the bottle.
Unscrew the base and add a small amount of tap water (25 ml or
so) to the bottle. This is very important as it keeps the membranes
in good working order. (See 'Keep the membranes wet' on
page 6). Screw the base back on again and store away from
sunlight.
When you plan to use LIFESAVER bottle again just flush the bottle
through twice and it is ready to use.
If you notice any bacteriological growth on the inside of the
bottle then clean both bottle and cartridge as advised,
(page 8) and perform sterilisation again.
Before first use LIFESAVER bottle should be kept in a dry place.
After first use the product should be protected against freezing.
