Collette, please contact your Medela Rep. and let them explain why that
doesn't happen, also with the new Symphony it is my understanding that
the new tubing that goes onto the pump is a filtering device. I could be
mistaken so contact Medela. Lois

"From everything I've read and personally experienced, I think the
concern
with pump sharing lies in the potential of milk backing up in the tubing
and
entering the pump mechanism itself.  Since the pump cannot be
sterilized,
bacteria can grow."

Isn't the issue w/ the air exchange and the risk of contamination that
way?
Couldn't one use Ameda tubing instead of the Medela to prevent
contamination?
