Hypertonic Saline and Tobi

I have no idea about Tobi, but this is what my team has told me:
You can use the same neb for your dialator, pulmo and hypertonic saline - just make sure one is finished before adding the next med.
I know most would advise against this, but I've been told it's ok. (just don't mix them, of course.)
Then, it's ok to use a neb a few times a day, just rinse inbetween uses, BUT, steralize once a day.

So, I use one neb in the morning for dialator, pulmo and saline, then rinse it out and use it at my pm treatment, then rinse out and set aside for sterilization.

Currently, I steralize by boiling in water for 5 minutes, but DON"T walk away - I nearly had a fire, and two completly melted nebs!!! Then, dry each piece with a paper towel.
