Abstract

A. Use of dialyzers and tubings sterilized with EtO should be avoided, especially in patients showing otherwise unexplained signs of anaphylactoid reaction (evidence level: B), eosinophilia or elevated IgE (evidence level: C).

(Evidence levels: B and C)

Guideline III.4.2

A. Phthalates and other potentially allergenic components of dialyzers and tubings should be avoided if prolonged allergic reactions persist despite avoiding EtO.

(Evidence level: B)
