I am curious if anyone is using a UV light sanitizing box for storing their nebulizing equipment after sterilizing? If so, which one? I am thinking about this. https://a.co/d/0fNTqCdG

I still boil all my nebulizer bits in distilled water for 11 minutes, and only use the bottle sterilizer for the dry cycle. When I was diagnosed last year I was frequently warned in online forums that bottle sterilizers weren’t enough to really kill everything. Is current consensus that they are good enough? Because it would be a heck of a lot more convenient to use one for all my sterilizing rather than my current more labor intensive system.

@bronchiectasaurus The key to this question is "...I was frequently warned in online forums..."
We have MANY online forums that are the opinions of one or a few people, who make these assertions without any science behind them. Dr's Honda and Falkinham are studying this now. Stay tuned for their results. In the meantime, boiling 10 minutes is all you need to do. If you remove from the very hot water to a dry surface (like a clean paper towel) the parts will dry quickly and can be stored. I'm not sure what the drying cycle accomplishes?

@sueinmn The drying cycle helps in humid Illinois summers. Yes it gets so humid here that even very hot water doesn't all evaporate off the boiled parts. A dry cycle after boiling gives me peace of mind. It's part of my routine every time I sterilize, although in the dry winter it's probably not necessary.

I am using the same one I use for my CPAP machine. The cycle, including drying is 62 minutes long
My respiratory therapist has me using a baby bottle microwave bag. I wash in hot soapy water, rinse, microwave, air dry. Anyone else do this?
@sadair20 I use one, I bought on Amazon. Normally used for CPAP and nebulizer equipment. I'm happy with it.
I have been happy with the Dr. Brown's baby bottle steralizer for several years now. I also use microwave steam bags - both are very convenient!

@sadair20 PERFECT! I am not sure which one I have but I think it was the one that was around $130 or so. LOVE IT!
Thank you!
