I am not sure where I stand on this issue<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I will say I do have concerns about the cleaning that is recommended. For the AL study, we are told to clean with tap and dish soap and disinfect 1x per week with a special solution. Seems kind of odd. I think the cost is over the top too compared to a regular nebulizer. We really should have separate ones for each med and that is not very economical.

Okay. I don't no why you were given that cleaning protocol but I disinfect in the alcohol everyday and it works fine. I put the plastic and rubber pieces in the dish washer or I boil them everyday. The eflow works fine and I have not needed any replacement parts for more than 6 months. I only use hypertonic saline in it because the other meds are too strong.

I will say this, I only boil it for 5 minutes as opposed to 10 with the pari. I think boiling it for 10 min warps the plastic.

It took me awhile to get used to how long it took to make sure it was clean enough. It's made of different types of materials than PARI's other products, particularly the metal filter.

The reason that once a week disinfecting is acceptable is because the pores in the filter are SO TINY that the bugs we culture can't even get in there to take up residence like they would on the surfaces of the other neb cups. A rinse of is effective enough.

Also, I'm more than happy to spend the time babying the thing, since it saves me so much time doing treatments.

As for the cost, well, when you consider that it's being marketed for an orphan disease and the average cost of research alone is $144,000 an hour, then I'd say it's a bargain.
