Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Sgarlat's Rabbitry, Harvey's Lake, Pennsylvania
- Weight at study initiation: 2 - 3 kilograms
- Housing: Rabbits were housed individually in cages sized in accordance with the "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" of the Institute of Laboratory Resources, National Research Council.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Ad libitum
- Acclimation period: five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 3°C
- Humidity (%): 30 to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): no data
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours light, 12 hours dark

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL/stie
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
Animals were observed at 4 and 48 hours after application of the test material.
Number of animals:
Iniatially, two rabbits will be administered the test article. The test will be considered positive if both animals exhibit a positive response and the study will be terminated. If only one animal or no animals exhibit a positive response, the test will be repeated with a different group of two rabbits. If one animal exhibits a positive response in the second group, the test article will be considered corrosive and the study will be terminated provided there was no positive response in group I. If no positive reactions are observed in group II, an additional group of two rabbits will be added and conclusions will be based on a total of six rabbits.
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
Corrosion will be considered to have resulted if the substance in contact with the rabbit skin has caused destruction or irreversible alteration of the tissue on at least two out of each six rabbits tested. Tissue destruction is considered to have occurred if, at any of the readings, there is ulceration or necrosis. Tissue destruction does not include merely sloughing of the epidermis or erythema, edema or fissuring.
