Sterifeed Disposable Sterile Baby Bottle, 250ml, Pack of 10

Product Information

By the end of April 2021, all patients had received their first Homeward delivery with Sterifeed reservoirs instead of Flocare reserviors. The brand name Sterifeed has been used by the company Medicare Colgate Ltd to supply hospitals around the world since 1994. Due to our scientific evidence based safety features and exceptional level of customer service Sterifeed are the global market leader for pasteurisation equipment for donor human milk with over 500 pasteurisers running in 60 different countries. Paediatric dietitan, Mikayla Profe-Fuchsloch discusses her experience and perspective with using Sterifeed reusable reservoirs in practice. My experience was that out of my caseload of 123 paediatric patients, 59 used Flocare single-use reservoirs. Many of these patients used more than one container per day. Oftentimes parents would ask me “ can I reuse Flocare containers?” I enclosed the patient information leaflet on Sterifeed so that parents would be fully aware of what using Sterifeed would entail. I enclosed the patient information leaflet, and reiterated that these bottles should be recycled after 30 uses. On 1 April 2021, I switched patients from Flocare to Sterifeed, except those who had opted out. Reception

It's important to sterilise all your baby's feeding equipment, including bottles and teats, until they're at least 12 months old. The SteriFeed MilkSafe Box aids the secure storage of Expressed breastmilk and Special Feeds in the ward fridge.Sterifeed are the UK and an EU market leader for its range of milk Breast milk storage bottles and teats. With a large range of high quality products we have become the chosen supplier for hospitals worldwide. Boil the feeding equipment in a large pan of water for at least 10 minutes, making sure it all stays under the surface.

Make sure there are no air bubbles trapped in the bottles or teats when putting them in the sterilising solution. This thoughtful and sustainable initiative from Nutricia has improved the experiences of my patients, their parents and the professionals who work with them. I would strongly encourage other dietitians and community nurses to consider switching their patients from Flocacare to Sterifeed. Wash and dry your hands before handling sterilised equipment. Better still, use some sterile tongs. I saw the banner on Connections about Sterifeed and our Hospital Account Manager, Sue Samuel, gave me more information and answered my many questions about the product. Reading through the patient and professionals guides really helped me decide to make the change. I discussed it with the professional lead for Dietetics at my Trust, and she supported my plans to switch the paediatric patients over. Steps taken to change over There is no risk of leaking, contamination and explosion. Sterifeed pasteurizers use HFC refrigerant which is hydrogen based, it does not contribute to ozone depletion and is commonly used in household refrigerators & freezers.The advice about how to clean your baby's feeding equipment applies to all of the equipment, and whether you are using expressed breast milk or formula milk. How to sterilise baby feeding equipment patients on the paediatric home enteral feeding caseload used Flocare, of which 7 opted out of using Sterifeed due to parental concerns around safety of reusing/sterility, and two patients were managed at different trusts but were under the Walsall contract so remained unchanged. That left 50 patients who were changed over to Sterifeed. Rapid refrigerated cooling forms a crucial part of the pasteurization process as it limits the regrowth of bacteria. Pasteurizers that don't have rapid refrigerated cooling do not meet the worlds leading human milk banking associations guidelines. You can put your baby's feeding equipment in the dishwasher to clean it if you prefer. Putting feeding equipment through the dishwasher will clean it but it does not sterilise it. Make sure bottles, lids and teats are facing downwards. You may prefer to wash teats separately by hand to make sure they are completely clean. I had two key reasons for changing– to reduce plastic waste and to improve patient experience. She agreed to the change and agreed with the parents’ sentiments that single-use reservoirs are not environmentally friendly and rather wasteful.
