摘要

The invention relates to a device (2) for rinsing and sterilizing at least one tube (1) enabling the milk of a breast pump to pass therethrough. Said device (2) includes a container (210) and a stopper (22) making it possible to close said container. Said container (210) has means (214) for connecting one of the ends of the or at least one of said tubes (1), which are placed on a side wall (215) of said container (210) at an intermediate level between the bottom wall (217) and the upper edge (218) of said container (210) such that, when said container (210) contains a water-containing liquid that is brought to a boiling point, the vapor produced moves at least part of the volume of the liquid into said at least one tube (1), then flows into said at least one tube (1), when the level of said liquid reaches said connecting means.
