Anyone have any nebulizer recommendations?

I think that I read somewhere that those disposable neb cups aren’t sterile and you should sterilize before you use them? It kind of makes sense to me, given that I sterilize all of my other equipment before using and wash any new kitchen things (pot, utensils, etc) before using.

Any thoughts on this?

My experience with disposable neb cups is you can’t boil them. They warp. I don’t have experience putting them in a bottle sterilizer.

Why would that be? They come sealed in plastic, and are used all the time in hospitals and respiratory therapy without being sterilized. When I use them, the get a soak in hot soapy water & a rinse after each use, then are tossed after a week. I don't sterilize any equipment daily - once a week per both my ID doc & RT.
