also known as Ethylene oxide IgE Ab in Serum by Radioallergosorbent test (RAST)
This IgE antibody allergy test will determine if you are allergic to Ethylene Oxide. Ethylene oxide is commonly used industrially to sterilize heat-sensitive medical devices. Patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis and those exposed to tubing, syringes and other material sterilized with ethylene oxide may be unexpectedly exposed to it. Traditional allergy tests utilize the Skin Prick method (also known as a Puncture or Scratch test) to determine whether an allergic reaction will occur by inserting possible triggers into your skin using a needle prick. If you are allergic to the substance, you are forced to suffer through your body's reaction to the allergen. HealthLabs.com offers an easier, virtually pain-free blood test to determine the allergen status of substances without the irritation of traditional skin prick tests.
