That particular nebulizer cup and mouthpiece, which are typically sent when you buy a compressor, looks exactly like the disposable ones used in the ER or hospital. You can contact the company or look on justnebulizers.com for reusable ones. There are many types, so you might want to order a few to see which suits you best.

Thanks Sue. Yes, I don’t know what makes one version of this style disposable and one not disposable but mine was clearly marked “not disposable, replace in 6 months”. Though it also said “do not sterilize”. I am not sure how that all adds up for someone with a MAC infection, but as cwal said, it’s likely just the cheapest option automatically pushed out by insurance. I am going to call the company that sent me the set up to me and see what my options are for a nebulizer that can be sterilized and if my insurance won’t cover another option, well, I will file an appeal on that decision, and in the meantime get myself a better system elsewhere.
