@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?

The study only tested the Aerobika and AeroEclipse XL, and only against specific bacteria.

In reviewing research from other scientists who examined baby bottle steam sterilizers, I didn’t see any mention of difficulty inoculating the devices. However, that’s the extent of the information currently available to me.

While Dr. Falkinham’s findings are reassuring—especially for those days when life disrupts our usual routines—I hope we’re all continuing to clean and sterilize our devices regularly. Consistency remains key in minimizing infection risk. Linda
