Dear All, I am finding my Aerobika really works great hooked up to my saline solution as instructed by my Pulmonologist .. PLUS I also use it after using my inhalers .. PLUS I use it immediately after I exercise .. I find right after I exercise I am really able to bring up some "nasty" stuff with the Aerobika. THEN when reading " Member advice from 2017 Conference: "They stressed the importance of keeping your nebulizing equipment clean by use of boiling or using bottle sterilizers." .. it made sense to me that it would OBVIOUSLY also apply to my Aerobika. Since I do NOT sterilize my nebs daily .. and I have become SO conscious of sterilizing since being diagnosed with 3 MORE bacteria .. I decided to NOT stick with just ONE Aerobika .. but since they are expensive .. I did some research and decided to share my research. I am NOT recommending this to ANYONE .. just saying it worked for me .. AND if you decide to purchase from Ebay .. ONLY purchase from the SAME vendor on Ebay that I did .. I purchased from him twice (purchased from-100% rating: ravenator123 ) and the product was EXACTLY the same as the one I purchased from the Medical Supply Co.

@katemn,
the answer to the hot water heater is on the confernce (D.C.) info. That
conference is not a video tape by the way. It is the slides that were presented.
I know that the norm was 120, but the MAC is mutating to withstand that
temperature. They are now recommending a higher temp. preferably 130-140. You
would have to be extremely careful not to burn yourself. I would think at those
temps, you could run your equipment through the dishwasher and it would
sterilize it.
 

@boomerexpert,
just re-read my notes from the conference. You are right, they recommend
110-120. That the MAC has been found to be heat resistant at 90degrees.
 
 

@katemn,
Boomer is right. Recommended temp for hot water heater is between 110 and 120.
They have found heat resistant strains at 90 Degrees. (I just re-read my notes
from the conference.)
