Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
Dunkin-Hartley
Sex:
male
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Male albino guinea pigs were supplied by CHARLES RIVER (F-69592 L’ARBRESLE). The animals were identified individually by marking with picric acid and a tattoo placed on their ear. They weighed between 252 g and 295 g at the beginning of the main test and were 4 weeks old. The animals were adapted to the test conditions for at least 5 days with the drinking water (tap water) and food were supplied ad libitum, under stabling and nutritional conditions identical to those of the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
ABS: not irritating and not sensitising
Executive summary:

The possible allergenic activity of slag, ferrous metal, blast furnace (air cooled - ABS), granular (8-11 mm) was tested according to OECD 406 and NF EN ISO 10993-10 (February 2003) concerning biological evaluation of medical devices: Tests for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity.

Slag leachate was prepared by DIN 38414 -4 DEV S-4 by leaching for 24 h at a liquid/solid ratio of 10/1. For induction, 21 Guinea pigs were exposed to the leachate in triplicate topical applications under occlusive dressing for 6 h at 100 % (undiluted) leachate. After a 14-day rest phase, the challenge phase consisted of a single topical application (24 h) of the leachate at 100 % and 50 % dilution in demineralised water.

No visible cutaneous reactions and no intolerance reaction was recorded in the challenge phase neither at 100 % nor at 50 %, and no reaction was recorded in the negative controls.

Slags, ferrous metal, blast furnace are not irritating and do not need to be classified as a skin sensitizer. No signal word and no hazard statement is required.
