This is what the poster says:
CONCLUSION
The test was designed to provide a worst-case scenario, with a very high-density suspension of M. avium cells and a long
24-hr period to allow for adherence.
Compared to copper, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and PVC surfaces (average > 2,000 cells/cm' in 24 hr.), the number of adherent M. avium cells on the surfaces of the AeroEclipse* XL BAN* Nebulizer and Aerobika* OPEP device is minimal.
Thus, even under a worst-case scenario, the measurements indicate the materials comprising the Aerobika* OPEP and AeroEclipse* XL BAN* Nebulizer devices fail to collect adherent M. avium cells.
This provides some assurance to patients that the risk of infection from such microorganisms will be low

@becleartoday Linda I know you have a consulting relationship with the company that distributes the Aeroclipse and Aerobika … do you know if they disclose what the specific composition of the materials that the two devices are made out of? Is it just plain plastic? The poster you quote seems to be comparing the Aeroclipse and Aerobika to common materials found in plumbing. I am wondering if these results for the Aeroclipse might also to plastic generally and more specifically to the Pari nebulizer cups. Or are the Aeroclipse/Aerobika manufactured with a proprietary material that may distinguish it in terms of antibacterial qualities? Maybe that is true for all nebulizers? Anyone know?
