PA in Tap Water

[AnD]

Okay, I now know why I didn't know not to rinse my nebs in tap water-(I really hate to post this, but...) I called my nurse to order 8 new neb cups, and she asked why I needed so many? I told her it was because I could be doing 4 nebs at a sitting, and I didn't want to have to wash them that often. She told me to just rinse it under the tap between meds, so I didn't need to get so many ($). I told her I prefered the other way, that I didn't mind paying for them (take 'em off of our taxes at the end of the year anyways <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ).

So, besides the fact that the CFF says not to rinse them in tap after sterilizing them, and to let them dry totally before using them, I want to be well armed before I go in and inform the only nurse I have that she is wrong. (I am also going to post on the Pari thread if it is still around).

Help!

I always wash garrans neb cups etc (not the tubes) in the diswasher and let them dry in the heat dry which is very hot, as to kill what ever "bugs" are still existing in there.....

then I do a precautionary wipe down on the outside of eveyrthing with an antibacterial wipe (the compressor etc...blah blah)

so far so good, garran hasnt cultured PA since he was a baby.

*fingers crossed*

go kick that nurse!
