Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
Dermal responses were evaluated 60 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 hours following patch removal.
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 1 inch x 1 inch

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Test site was wiped using peanut oil and paper towels to remove any residual material without altering the existing response or integrity of the epidermis.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours


SCORING SYSTEM:
All scoring was made according to the modified Draize method of scoring (Draize, 1959).
Mean erythema and edema scores were calculated (Snedecor and Cochran, 1989).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Topical application of the test substance elicited very slight erythema in one animal at the 60 minute time point. All animals were free of erythema, edema, or other supplemental dermal findings during the remainder of the study. Consequently, the study was terminated following the 72 hour observation period.
Other effects:
Clinical signs were not observed in any animal during the test period. All animals survived to study termination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the findings of this study and a primary irritation index of 0.00, the test substance is considered a non-irritant to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Six male rabbits were exposed to 0.5 ml of the test material during 4 hours, the patch held in contact with the skin by means of a semi-occlusive dressing. Only very slight erythema in one animal was noted at 60 minutes after removal of the patch, no other signs of irritation at 24, 48 and 72 hours were observed. This study was performed according to GLP procedures.
