Cleaning of Aerobika

The Aerobika manual states that, in addition to daily soaking, the device should be disinfected weekly giving a few different options. The respiratory specialist at UNC was horrified that I was following the manufacture's instruction and firmly stressed that I sterilize the Aerobika after each use along with the PARI nebulizer. The easiest way for me is to boil them. I have a designated pot and I boil the devices after every use.
I'm hoping to get some microwave bags for when I travel. Can anyone recommend some brands?

Ugh, I just ordered an Aeribika to replace my Acapella (after 6 months use) partly because the care instructions seemed so much less time consuming. Do you clean after every use and disinfect daily? Any ideas for van camping without electricity? I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis last March and we hoped to get back into camping next summer.

One choice on the Aerobika instructions is Medela bags, available on Target.com. They are reasonably priced and one bag is good for 20 uses. I like them and they are very easy to use.

Hi, I have 4 so I wash two a day and boil them for 10 minutes, Other recommendations are to increase boiling time by one minute for each 1000 feet above sea level.
