Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin sites of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml
- Concentration (if solution): 100%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hour(s)
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
3 (2 females, 1 male)
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Flank of animal
- Site preparation: At least 24 hours before the beginning of the study clipping of the dorsolateral part of the trunk of the animal(s).
- Type of wrap if used: test patch (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) was moistened with a dose of 0.5 ml of the unchanged liquid test substance.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, with Lutrole and Lutrole : water (1 : 1)
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM:
The evaluation of skin reactions is performed according to the guidelines:

Erythema and eschar formation
0 = No erythema
1 = Very slight erythema (barely perceptible)
2 = Well defined erythema
3 = Moderate to severe erythema
4 = Severe erythema (beet redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema

Edema formation
0 = No edema
1 = Very slight edema (barely perceptible)
2 = Slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising)
3 = Moderate edema (raised approx. 1 mm)
4 = Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure)

Description of any dermal findings not covered by this scale were recorded.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight erythema (ER) was observed in all animals during the course of the study. The cutaneous reactions were reversible in all animals within 48 hours after removal of the patch. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.1 for erythema and 0.0 for edema.
