TEST ANIMALS
- Source: CEGAV, Saint Mars d'Egrenne, France
- Age at study initiation: 2 - 4 months old
- Body weight at study initiation: 2.9 ± 0.2 kg
- Housing: animals were housed individually in polystyrene cages (48.2 cm x 58 cm x 36.5 cm).
- Diet: 110 pelleted diet (SAFE, Villemoisson, Epinay-sur-Orge, France), ad libitum
- Water: Drinking water filtered by a FG Millipore membrane (0.22 micron), ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before the beginning of the study

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 18 ± 3 °C
- Humidity: 30 - 70%
- Air changes: approximately 12 air changes/hour (filtered, non-recycled air)
- Photoperiod: 12 h / 12 h

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 2003-09-09 To: 2003-09-14

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

other: clipped

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: not applicable

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 500 mg, moistened with purified water (gauze pad)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 h;
In the first instance, the test item was applied for periods of 3 minutes and 4 hours to a single male rabbit
Since the test item was not severely irritant on this first animal, it was then applied for 4 h to two other animals.

Observation period:

72 hours after patch removal (assessment of skin reactions at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour(s) after patch removal)

Number of animals:

3 males

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: flank
- Type of wrap: adhesive hypoallergenic aerated semi-occlusive dressing and a restraining bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: any residual test item was wiped off by means of a dry cotton pad
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM: Scoring system according to OECD guidelines

Irritant / corrosive response data:

After 3-minute exposure (one animal) slight erythema was observed on day 1 and 2. After 4-hour exposure (three animals) a slight erythema was observed in 1/3 animals 1 hour after the removal of the dressing, otherwise no cutaneous reactions were recorded during the study. Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for erythema and 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for oedema.
