Medela Pump in Style Backpack?

Question

I am looking at buying one but the problem is that the box has been opened (someone took the pump back at the Navy Exchange) but the manager is going to sell it to me at a discounted rate because the seal has been opened.  I wanted to know, for those of you who have this particular pump, which parts are sealed in individual bags?  I am going to inspect the pump before I purchase.  Can you also tell me what parts are included so I can make sure everything is in there? 

THANKS!

When I bought my pump in style everything was sealed in bags (inside the actual backpack or carry bag).   Good luck,  if you think it could have been used, don't chance it.

I had one but it was a used one.  I bought new pieces like the tubes and had the machine cleaned.  I was told though that brandnew all pieces were in sealed packages and it is especially important with the tubes as they can hold bacteria.  Make sure to disinfect what you can even if it is new.

you can buy new parts for the sterile parts like the breast shield and bottles.. the pump itself doesn't touch the milk so you can buy it and just replace the sterile parts if you are worried.  the pump is what you are paying for anyway.. good luck

I have a used one also. I just replaced all the tubing and sterilized all the other parts by boiling them.
