After nursing and working FT with two kids, my personal experience with
tubing in the Medela and Ameda Egnell pumps is that this is going to
happen.  I was able to suck the moisture out of my set of Ameda Egnell
tubing about five years ago with wall suction at our hospital.  I've had
this particular situation happen a couple of times with moms who've
purchased the Medela Pump In Style from me.

Most times, in my experience, moms say they feel better spending a few
dollars on new tubing.  If you are a rental or retail station, I've been
told by Medela that you can't purchase the Pump In Style tubing to have on
hand for your clients when this situation arises.  The client has to order
it herself from Medela since the Pump In Style is a single owner item.
JMHO, I'd prefer to have it on hand because it's usually quicker to get
from me locally than from the company through the mail.  Got this info from
customer service at Medela a few months ago when I inquired about it for a
client.
