The hospital I work for is about to launch a Breast Milk Donor Bank.
The launch is imminent. We have just finalised the policy for cleaning
and storage of bottles and equipment.
Generally, all equipment is manually washed and then processed in washer
for thermal disinfection. The washer/disinfector has a printout that is
evidence the cycle has reached thermal disinfection (final rinse: >90
degrees for 1 min). The items are stored clean in a plastic bag, sealed
and dated with sticker “Washed and disinfected”.
Happy to discuss further.

Hi
I’d be very interested to know what protocols are in place in Australian
hospitals where breast milk donor banks exist. Our neonatal unit is in
the process of setting up a bank and all milk will be pasteurised;
however, I would like to know what advise is given to mothers regarding
the cleaning or disinfection of the breast pump equipment at home.
Thanks
