1. A sterilized medical device comprising:
- a fluoropolymeric substrate material;
a polymeric covering material comprising imine groups that is attached to at least a portion of a surface of said substrate material, a plurality of biologically active entities having anti-thrombin III binding activity covalently attached to at least a portion of said polymeric covering material, wherein said plurality of biologically active entities comprises polysaccharides; and
a biologically compatible organic composition non-covalently combined with said biologically active entities,wherein said biologically compatible organic composition comprises a carbohydrate,wherein said biologically active entities have an anti-thrombin III binding activity of at least 5 picomoles anti-thrombin III per square centimeter (pmol/cm2) substrate material following ethylene oxide sterilization of said biologically active entities.
