Okay, worded that way it makes a bit more sense to me =) Those mineral deposits can get rather nasty. I've ordered an Avent sterilizer and am waiting for it to arrive--looking forward to the change from boiling! I'm definitely planning to use distilled water, and the alcohol tip is helpful. Thanks!

I agree with others that it should sterilize itself. But, I still dump out the water and let it air dry after every use.
I LOVE using the Avent instead of boiling! It cuts down on the humidity in the house and is so much faster and uses so much less water. Oh, and then there's the whole part about not having to worry about leaving my nebs on the stove for so long that they melt and vaporize again <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

OK...I hesitate to post this conversation that I had; but, I think people have a right to have the differing opinions that are out there and make up their own mind. I called to order my Cayston today from Foundation Care and pressed them further about their recommendations for sterilization and the new recommendations by the CFF re: the bottle sterilizer for the trio. I told her my concerns about the reservoir and just wanted to know exactly the best way to take care of this NEW nebulizer.
She put me back to a pharmacist who had some VERY strong opinions about the CFF's recommendations. He had a lot of the same concerns that I had and had also just been to a conference on PA and other micro-organisms. He has studied extensively what needs to happen in the sterilization process to kill these organisms and he is not at all comfortable with what he called the "pressure" level used in these bottle sterilizers and also does not feel like they heat to a proper level for the right amount of time. His explanation was VERY technical and I can't do it justice here; but, he was passionate and concerned enough to have already written the CFF.
He had a lot of the same concerns that I did, ughh. So though I was looking for an easier way to do this I think I am not going to go with a sterilizer at this point. I am going to continue boiling water. I may change my mind; but, for now I am not comfortable and I wanted you all to hear a different viewpoint. BTW, the CF Services Pharmacy is mailing a NUK bottle sterilizer with new orders of Cayston. So this is only one man's opinion....his opinion just happened to match up with mine. I am also at a much lower lung function than most and I tend to be very very cautious.
Thank you for all your replies and help on this issue.
