Inventory samples were tested for endotoxin content in endotoxin units (eu) via the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate method to determine a common etiology for sterile inflammation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Cases of RBS and upper extremity sterile inflammation, \u201cred hand syndrome,\u201d are presented. Two patients developed RBS following implantation of ADM from the same donor; associated grafts in inventory had endotoxin levels of 167 eu and 320 eu per graft, respectively. Two patients developed red hand syndrome after joint arthroplasty with ADM from another donor; associated graft in inventory showed an endotoxin level of 1282 eu. Cultures were obtained and negative in 3 of the 4 cases. Since endotoxin screening of ADM donor lots began in January 2018 at MTF Biologics, no cases of sterile inflammation have been reported from screened units through December 31, 2018 (RBS rate, 39\/15,529 [0.25%] vs 0\/18,275 [0%], P &amp;lt; 0.0001).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The sterile inflammatory response in RBS and newly reported red hand syndrome may be attributable to the presence of endotoxin in implanted ADM.
