In the paper “Device Cleaning and Infection Control in Aerosol Therapy” by Catherine A O'Malley (Respir Care 2015;60[6]:917–930), the recommended time for cold method disinfection was mistakenly reversed. We regret this error.
The corrected text is:
The two recommended disinfectants are 3% hydrogen peroxide and 70% isopropyl alcohol. For disinfection to be effective, the nebulizer parts must be soaked for the recommended length of time: 30 min in hydrogen peroxide or 5 min in isopropyl alcohol.
