Breast Pump Parts to Replace

What should I replace on my Medala breast pump for #2?  Probably the little white valves?  Maybe the tubes?  It has been sitting in a closet for 2-ish years, and I am not sure how much of an over haul it requires.  Thanks!

    I'm now pumping for my third and only ever replaced the little white membranes. I've heard to replace all of the parts, tubes, valves, etc. but I just sterilized everything and didn't see a need to replace it completely. I could see if you were EP with the first and wore out the parts or something, but they seem sturdy to me. With my first I used my pump about 25 times a week for 9 months and then just a few times a week after that until she was a year old. My second very rarely took a bottle so I only used my pump a handful of times. My third is a preemie and I'm EP for her 8 times a day.

    I personally would replace valves, tubes and flanges.
    Out with the old in with the new to make sure everything is up to par.
