Cleaning + disinfecting nebulizer and aerobica

Posted by sara10 @sara10, Jan 20, 2022

Diagnosed with bronchiectasis several years ago. No antibiotics so far but 2x airway clearance with aerobica and nebulizer recommended. Some MAC bacteria was found.
Finding all sorts of info how to properly clean and disinfect but none agree with the other. Should both be cleaned each time and is it good enough to disinfect once a week? Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or boiling best option?
Finding the whole process very tedious especially if cleaning 2x per day was necessary.
Does anybody have experience with Evenflo silicone steam sanitizing bag for disinfecting? Or, what baby bottle cleaner and dryer can you recommend?

I label mine with a sharpie with the date I began using it. I tape a post it also on my compressor with the sage when I changed the tubing.

I bought a small engraver and I do all parts. Works great.

"You can easily tell if it happens-suddenly there's no resistance." When that happened to me I held the aerobika upright and slammed the bottom against something solid like a table top or counter top. The jarring seemed to put everything back in place and it continued to work just fine. Has happened a few times.

Hi Detsdum—

There could be scale buildup on your Aerobika and that might be causing the issue. The company suggests soaking devices in one part water to one part vinegar for one hour once a month.

In other words, a mini-spa treatment;) Linda Esposito
