The culprit devices (medical adhesives, sanitary pads, diabetes devices) and TBP patch preparations were analysed using gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC–MS).ResultsBHQ (9/13), TBC (7/13), and to a lesser extent BHT (3/15), BHA (2/15) and TBP (2/13) gave positive reactions. Seven patients had developed ACD from adhesives and diabetes devices, respectively, and one patient from sanitary pads. GC–MS analyses of the medical devices and patch test materials confirmed the presence of the patch‐test positive TBPs, or chemically related derivatives, or, interestingly, tert‐butylbenzoquinones (BBQ) were found, that is, spontaneously formed, highly reactive TBP metabolites, likely (pseudo‐) cross reacting with the patch tested TBPs.ConclusionTBPs might be overlooked sensitizers in medical devices, and BHQ and TBC are potential screeners in this regard. 10.1111/cod.14670 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
