How to effectively clean the MEDELA Swing Maxi breast pump?
Frequently Asked Questions - 06/03/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To ensure optimal hygiene and prolong the lifespan of your MEDELA Swing Maxi breast pump, it is essential to clean and disinfect the parts properly. Cleaning (removing contaminants) and disinfecting (killing bacteria) are two distinct and complementary steps.

Cleaning parts that come into contact with milk (nipple shield, connector, membrane, bottle): After each use, disassemble all removable parts. First, rinse them with cold drinking water (about 20°C), then clean them thoroughly with warm soapy water (about 30°C) using a preferably fragrance-free and dye-free dishwashing liquid. Rinse for 10 to 15 seconds with clear cold drinking water. You can also place all parts (except the tubing) directly in the top rack of the dishwasher with a standard detergent, then let them air dry.

Daily disinfection: Once a day, disinfect the parts that come into contact with milk. The simplest method is boiling: cover all parts (except the tubing) with water and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, then let them air dry. You can also use Quick Clean bags with a microwave according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Drying parts: After cleaning or disinfecting, dry the parts with a clean cloth or let them air dry on a clean towel. Store them in a clean storage bag. Important: never store wet parts in an airtight container, as moisture must be able to dry completely.

Tubing: No cleaning is necessary if no visible milk residue is present. In case of visible residues, rinse it with cold water, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse it with clear water, shake it to remove water droplets, and then let it air dry. Never disinfect the tubing.

Motor unit: Always unplug the breast pump before cleaning. Wipe the motor housing with a clean, damp (not wet) cloth using drinking water with a basic dishwashing liquid or a non-abrasive detergent. You can also use an alcohol-based disinfectant. Never submerge the motor unit in water. No special maintenance is required.

Important points: Disassemble and clean all parts immediately after each use to prevent milk residue from drying and bacterial growth. Use only drinking water. In the dishwasher, some parts may slightly discolor due to food pigments, which does not affect the product's performance. Be careful not to damage the parts during cleaning and replace any damaged or worn parts.

MEDELA Swing Maxi - Intended use / Population - Contraindication - 1

The intended use and indications of breast pumps

Breast pumps are intended to be used by lactating women in the hospital or home environment for expressing breast milk. Breast pumps are indicated to alleviate the symptoms of engorgement by expressing milk. In case of mastitis breast pumps support the healing process by removing breast milk from the affected breast. Breast pumps are indicated to relieve sore and cracked nipples and to bring out flat or inverted nipples. Also breast pumps enable mothers to provide breast milk for babies who cannot feed directly at the breast for a variety of reasons such as latch-on problems, cleft palate or premature babies.

Intended patient population/user

Adolescent paediatric or adult lactating women. Many women find it convenient, or even necessary, to use a breast pump to express and store their breast milk once they have returned to work, are travelling or are otherwise separated from their baby. Women are often delighted to learn that a breast pump can be used as a supplement to breastfeeding and that some pumps are designed to mimic the suckling of a nursing baby.

Contraindications

There are no known contraindications for the Swing Flex / Swing Maxi Flex breast pump.

  • Do you see excessive areola being pulled into the tunnel?
  • Do you see any redness?
    Is your nipple or areola turning white?
  • Do you feel unexpressed milk after breast milk pumping?

If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, consider trying a new size by following the measuring instructions at www.medela.com.

  • Store breast milk in the coldest spot of the refrigerator (at the back of the glass shelf above the vegetable compartment).

9.2 Freezing

  • Freeze expressed breast milk in plastic bottles or milk storage bags. Do not fill the bottles or bags more than 3/4 full to allow space for possible expansion.

9.3Thawing

MEDELA Swing Maxi - 9.3Thawing - 1

Caution

Do not thaw or warm breast milk in a microwave or a pan of boiling water. This helps preserve important components and prevents burns.

  • To preserve breast milk components, thaw the milk overnight in the refrigerator. Alternatively, hold the bottle or bag under warm water (max. 37^ / 98.6^ ).
  • Gently swirl the bottle or bag to mix any fat that has separated. Avoid shaking or stirring the milk.
ProblemSolution
If the motor is not runningCheck presence of mains current. Check the position of the batteries in the battery compartment.
If there is low or no suctionVerify the membrane is clean and not damaged. Make sure that the membrane forms a seal around the edge of the connector and the lid is firmly connected with the connector. Check all connections. Check if the ends of the tubing fit securely into the back of the connector and into the port on the breast pump. During single pumping, insert the unused tubing into the tubing holder. There should be no water in the tubing. Do not kink the tubing during expression. Ensure the breast shield forms a complete seal around the breast. All components must be completely dry.
If condensation appears in the tubingClean the tubing as described in chapter 6.5. Shake out any water drops.
The pump becomes wetUnplug the mains adapter from the socket. Switch off the pump. Do not place the pump upside down. The control panel must point upwards. Store the pump in a dry, warm place for 24 hours. Note: Do not expose the pump to direct sunlight. Do not accelerate the drying process by use of heat.
