shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated site of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
approx. 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
8 days (as no skin reaction was observed at that time)
- Frequency of readings: about 1 h after removal of the patch; 24, 48, 72 h and 8 days after application
- Frequency of observation: twice each workday and once on saturday, sunday and public holidays
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used: the test patch was secured with a semiocclusive dressing.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1:1)
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM: evaluation was performed according to the Draize Scoring System.
