Thanks for the study link. Saw that the nebulizer tubing is not mentioned as something that needs to be sterilized. Do you have any insight into special handling of the tubing?

Yes, tubing is not something you can clean or sterilize. If there is moisture left in it after you neb, run the compressor for a few minutes to dry it out. Replace the tubing every 2-6 months, depending on what the pulmonologist recommends - your neb cups need to be replaced too, and they come with new tubing.
