Replacement of aerobika

Hello Everyone!
How do you keep track of expiration dates of each Aerobika part? I wash and sterilize all the parts together and some parts are older than others and it’s hard to know when each expire!
Any thoughts on this are appreciated!
Thank you!

Aerobikas expire six to twelve months. When I see my pulmonologist, I say I need a new one.

@notnancy88 yes, that works if you have one but I have 4 and bought them at different times!

I mostly only use it when the gunk is recalcitrant and difficult to get up. Mostly in p.m. When I use it I only blow out of it, which might not work for some, but works for me. That way, I clean the mouthpiece but don't need to be as careful about the rest of it.

I found this to be an issue also (the multiple parts, multiple dates, how to keep track). I think you really need to commit to replacing them at same time, and using them for same length. I wasn’t comfortable writing on pieces with marker (also will likely wear off with frequent washing/sterilizing), and thought an engraver would create grooves for bugs to attach, kinda counter productive. I now am in the habit of making sure my nebulizer and Aerobika have been sterilized within 24 hours of use, which practically means I use only one set (I do AC once a day). I wash and sterilize after every use, so I replace my nebulizer every 3 months, and Aerobika every 6 months, due to concern frequent sterilization will degrade plastic a bit sooner.
