Again, which nebulizer...HELP!!

Linda do you know if the nebulizer cups for the Ombra can be sterilized in alcohol? I asked the company and they said they would check and call me back but they never did. Also I like to replace the tubing every two weeks. Have you been able to just order the tubing alone for it? Thanks

The nebulizer instructions do not suggest alcohol. I use white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) every other day. That is one of the choices listed in the instructions. Another is 1 part bleach to 50 parts water. Good luck! Donna T

You can order tubing here: https://justnebulizers.com/products/7-air-tubing?variant=41324869648540
May I ask why you replace it so frequently? My ID doc recommended every 6 weeks, with the cup, when used daily.
If your tubing stays dry, or you use the compressor to expel any moisture before turning it off, there is nowhere for bacteria to grow in it.
