@sak123 , it absolutely is. Rinsing well, soaking in hot water with Dawn to break down the biofilms, and then boiling help in preventing infection.

I find that the equipment air dries very quickly if shaken and placed on layers of clean paper towels. My equipment dries more thoroughly that way than in the Bolo bottle sterilizer. I never overload the sterilizer and space the equipment well, but there is often still moisture, so I run it twice. It takes just a few hours to ensure air drying of my PARI and the Aerobika parts once on the paper towels. I do boil the Aerobika parts once a week. I feel that since I exhale when using the Aerobika, there is not as much risk as with inhaling while using the PARI nebulizer kit.

Many people opt for the Bololo to sterilize, and when I have to, I do that. I have timed the steaming time, and it is 13 minutes every time. The rest of the 60 minute cycle is drying.

I usually only boil my nebulizer parts and put the Aerobika parts in the Bolo. I always rinse and soak everything and then rinse again well before boiling or putting in the bottle sterilizer.
