This was a couple of years ago, but I was able to buy a part kit from
the hospital's medical supply store.  It was designed more for use with
the rental pumps but it worked fine with my PnS.  I had adequate
facilities to rinse my parts at work (I stored them in the fridge
between my 2 sessions) *BUT* because I worked 12-hour night shifts, I
did not want to have to wash parts BETWEEN shifts since it was all I
could do to squeeze in a few hours of sleep.  So having 2 full sets gave
me enough parts to work my 2 nights without having to spend time tending
to parts & pieces.
