@dpaula I found this video extremely helpful. The charts provided by Dr Jennifer Honda (from her NTM-ir sponsored lab) show the effectiveness of soaking baby bottle sterilizers and microwave bags.
What additional information would you like to see? I'll try to track it down for you. Please know that is would be impossible for labs to test and report on every single combination of sanitizing/sterilizing processes. Equipment changes all the time, and keeping up would be a nightmare.

The better approach is to follow Dr Honda's advice to pick the important things and let the rest go. If you haven't watched this yet, I strongly encourage you to do so:

@sueinmn Hi Sue, I have watched Dr J Honda's video! I do appreciate her philosophy of identifying one's priorities and letting the rest go, though that is not always easy to do when one is struggling with exacerbations or even sputum outputs over 100cc like me. I ask myself often, am I doing enough? I guess I was looking at it from a different angle, that is, building on what has been done and hoping manufacturers could make their products even better to handle the temperatures needed and maybe streamline the process! I do understand that this all takes time and money so it probably was unrealistic to even suggest in an area that has already undergone much research.

I am currently on Brinsupri for almost three weeks now, so I am benefiting from the research progress in the biological/medical aspect of our common disease. I will update my Brinsupri results thus far on that thread. I am doing a little data collection on my own here in Michigan 😉
