## Abstract Ethylene oxide (EO) gas is commonly used to sterilize medical devices. The amount of residual EO remaining in a device depends partly on the type and size of polymeric material. A major concern is the amount of residue that may be available in the body. With the use of the method descri
An alternate method for determining residual ethylene oxide (EtO) in medical devices was compared with the aqueous extraction method suggested by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Residual EtO was extracted from EtO-sterilized samples of acrylic polymer (XT250-30
## Abstract The hemolytic potential of pure ethylene oxide in solution was evaluated as a function of initial ethylene oxide concentration in three test systems, diluted whole blood in isotonic saline, erythrocytes washed and resuspended in isotonic saline, and erythrocytes washed and resuspended i
## Abstract Medical devices that are sterilized with ethylene oxide (EtO) retain small quantities of EtO residuals, which may cause negative systemic and local irritating effects, and must be accurately quantified to ensure nonβtoxicity. The goal of this roundβrobin study is to investigate the capa
