Cindy, I don't know for other countries, but for me it would do if I educated
the buyer to sterilise/clean the pump as good as possible, have her buy a new
personal set and explain the mechanics of possible disease transfer via
breastpumps AND point out her OWN responsibility if using a second hand pump.
