Pre warm the flask (1).
Measure 500 mls water using the cooling
beaker (3). Bring to boil in saucepan and add to flask. Close
lid and leave until ready to pasteurise the milk.
Measure breastmilk for pasteurising.
Pour breastmilk into bottle (2), .
Add or remove breastmilk to make the volume the
same as one of the volumes on the water chart wheel (6 or
7). note the volume and the temperature of the breastmilk
and record on chart (9).
Bring milk to required temperature.
Place bottle (2) containing the measured
breastmilk into cooling beaker (3), fill beaker (3) with clean
water and leave for 15 minutes.
Determine required volumes of
water.
Choose the water chart wheel that
corresponds to the volume of breastmilk to be pasteurised.
If boiling water only is required, (water
chart (7) 100 mls or 200 mls breastmilk only) measure the
volume of water required and bring to the boil.
If a combination of boiling water and cool
water is required, measure each volume (water chart (6) and
heat water for boiling.
Pasteurising
the breastmilk.
Empty the flask (1), add first the cool water, then the boiling
water. Place the bottle (2) containing breastmilk into the
flask (1). Close lid tightly. Set timer (5) to 35 minutes.
Gently agitate the pasteurising flask (1)
once every minute for 5 minutes.
When the bell rings, remove bottle from
flask.
Temperature
check.
As soon as bottle (2) is removed from flask (1), wipe bottle
dry and attach Final Temperature indicator label (9) below
the level of the milk. Place milk container
back into flask (1), wait for 10 seconds and remove. The Final
Temperature indicator label should have changed colour indicating
that the temperature of the
water in the flask (1) is above 58 degrees centigrade. This
in turn confirms that the milk has been heated to the correct
temperature. Remove Final Temperature
indicator label from bottle and add to record chart (9).
Cooling the
breastmilk
Fill cooling beaker (3) with cold water, iced if possible
and add bottle (2) to cool breastmilk. Replace cold water
if necessary until milk is at required temperature.
