- Conclusions:
- UNITAC RLM (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) is not a primary skin irritant. Only very slight erythema (Grade 1) was seen in one of three animals at the 24-hour observation when the test material was applied to intact skin under semi-occluded contact for four hours. No signs of edema were noted during the study. Complete reversibility of the irritant effect was evident by 48 hours. Based on the results of this study, UNITAC RLM (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) was not considered to be irritating to rabbit skin, and therefore, presents a low irritation hazard upon skin contact under conditions of normal use. UNITAC RLM (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) is not classified for Skin Irritation/Corrosion according to Directive 67/548/EEC, the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) or EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
This data is being read across from the source study that tested Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol based on category read across that is explained in the category justification document attached in Section 13 of the dossier.
In a primary dermal irritation study, using the method described in the International Standard ISO 10993-10:1995, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Sensitization, Section 5.2 Skin Irritation Test, three male New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to two applications of 0.5 gram of UNITAC RLM (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) for 4 hours under semi-occluded contact to intact skin. Animals were then observed for 72 hours. No edema was observed during the study. No signs of irritation were noted during the study for one animal. Very slight erythema was noted at the application site of two animals one hour after termination of exposure. For one of these two animals, the very slight erythema persisted to the 24-hour observation. The irritation response was completely reversible by 48 hours. The test substance produced individual Primary Irritation Scores of 0.0, 0.0, and 0.3 for the three animals tested and a Primary Irritation Index of 0.1 (negligible irritation). UNITAC RLM (Resin acids and Rosin acids, esters with pentaerythritol) is not considered a dermal irritant in this study.

- Details on study design:
- The method used followed the recommendations of the International Standard ISO 10993-10: 1995, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Sensitization, Section 5.2 Skin Irritation Test.
Three rabbits were clipped free of hair from the dorsal flank area approximately 24 hours prior to exposure of the test substance. Two application sites (left & right) were identified for each animal. For each site, a dose of 0.5 gram of the test substance was moistened with 0.6 mL distilled water and then applied to a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch. The gauze patch was placed on the application site of each rabbit and secured with a strip of surgical tape (BLENDERM). The trunk of each rabbit was then wrapped with an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP). After a 4-hour exposure period, the corset and patches were removed from each rabbit and any residual material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water. At 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after termination of exposure, the application sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the 4-point scale from Draize (1977). The scores for erythema and edema at the 24-, 48-, and 72-hour readings were totalled for each animal, and divided by the total number of observations (six: two at each time point), resulting in a primary irritation score for each animal. The three primary irritation scores were added together and divided by the number of animals to give a Primary Irritation Index (PII). The PII was used to classify the test substance according to the following scheme:
Primary Irritation Index
0.0-0.4 = Negligible response
0.5-1.9 = Slight response
2.0-4.9 = Moderate response
5.0-8.0 = Severe response
