I thought Dr Honda at the 2025 NJH’s conference slide showed the Bololo and three other others did KILL NTM as there was nothing on the Petri plates afterwards ? and baby bottle of steamers mentioned in other literature, including European studies said the baby bottle steamers they tested does kill NTM.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-cystic-fibrosis is one.

“An evaluation of different steam disinfection protocols for cystic fibrosis “ … “In conclusion,
steam disinfection is a simple, effective and non-time-consuming method for disinfecting nebulizer or airway clearance devices.
This method disinfects nebulizer parts perfectly. “

@vgvball I got confused when she said "reduces" NTM. But it sounds like she just meant reduce from overall environment. Another question I had, is 100% disinfection achieved in an Aerobika, since her study was using test tubes or some equivalent. That said, I did purchase a Bololo last week off of eBay (Amazon no longer has) and plan on using for my nebulizers. I will most likely periodically boil the Aerobika. I wouldn't be so anal about it if I had MAC but Dawn doesn't kill MABC. I also have a Raintree Under Sink Filter System for my tap water and run that into a LifeStraw pitcher for drinking water.
