Dear All,
My hospital is mainly using the commercially sterile ready-to-feed liquid infant formula, however we still need to reconstitute powdered infant formula (PIF), and we use steam sterilizer to sterilize the PIF.
We would like to know the recommended sterilization parameters such as temperature and the duration for this process.
Regards,

Hi Sony,
Our procedure on PIF follows the WHO recommendations:
At risk infants receive ready to feed infant formula.
PIF is prepared with water that is >70C.
As you know, other elements accompany the preparation of milk that includes hygiene of food handler, the environment, equipment, storage and use of prepared formula within a specified timeframe.http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/micro/pif_guidelines.pdf

Hi jacky,
Local technician recommends us using 121OC for the cleaned bottles & pacifiers. After the bottles are filled with reconstituted milk, the sterilizer’s parameters are set to 105 OC for 18-20 mins., sterilize time maintain at 105 OC for 2 min.
