I'm talking about the plastic parts that the medicine goes in. One website says to replace them every 6 months. I got my current ones when I was in the hospital 3 years ago. I wash them in the dishwasher every couple days. Do you get new ones and if so how often? I'm fortunate to have a mild (I think) CF, but somedays I think I don't know how to do the things I'm supposed to be doing for CF care!

U should replace them every 6 months even if you clean them. Their efficiancy is no longer there. They are not very expensive and I know Pari will send you a new one every 6 months. Hope this helps

It depends on what type you have. If you have the non-disposable type, like Pari, they are good for 6 months or sooner if you have an exacerbation. After you've been in the hospital or home IV's you should change them no matter how recent it was that you had replaced them. If you have the acorn type, the kind many hospitals use, the disposable type. They can not be boiled or they will warp. We don't use those very often, only in an emergency, so I can't tell you how long those are good for.

I think I have the disposable type (clear with green cone inside). I get two with tubing a month, hot soapy water wash every use and alcohol soak once a week.
