@davis5663 thank you so much for sharing this information. I have only just joined this support group and am sifting through all the posts. Sterilization of medical equipment has been a great concern to me since I was diagnosed with BE and MAC about 2 years ago. I was then living in Switzerland and my pneumologist there recommended saline nebulizers with the PARI BOY together with ACBT/physio. The PB cup and mouthpiece can be sterilized with boiling water but the connection tube cannot. I have now moved to another country and my new pneumologist does not recommend nebulizing because of the risk of infection. She emphasizes ACBT, postural drainage, physio, hydration +++ and using mucolytics. Now I do not use the nebulizer.
Has anyone else received this advice (ie. no nebulizers)?
