Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The USP 0.9 % Sodium Chloride for Injection (NaCl) and Cottonseed Oil extracts of the test article, XFLEX TISSUE ADHESIVE, elicided no reaction at the challenge (0 % sensitization), following an induction phase. Therefore, as defined by the scoring system of Kligman, this is a Grade I reaction and the test article is classified as having weak allergic potential. Based on the criteria of the protocol, a Grade I sensitisation rate is not considered significant and the test article meets the requirements of the ISO 10993-10 guidelines.
Executive summary:

The USP 0.9 % Sodium Chloride for Injection (NaCl) and Cottonseed Oil (CSO) extracts of the test article, XFLEX TISSUE ADHESIVE, elicited no reaction at the challenge (0% sensitization), following an induction phase, Therefore, as defined by the scoring system of Kligman, this is a Grade I reaction and the test article is classified as having weak allergenic potential. Based on the criteria of the protocol, a Grade I sensitization rate is not considered significant and the test article meets the requirements of the ISO 10993 -10 guidelines.
