Details on study design:
Induction schedule
Group 1: control animals
Day 0: 3 pairs of intradermal injections were given simultaneously into the shoulder region (clipped free of hair); each dose was 0.1 ml
1st pair: Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) mixed 1:1 with sterile water
2nd pair:
Group 1: water
Group 2: 0.125 % octenidine dihydrochloride in water
3rd pair:
Group 1: equal amounts of water and FCA/water in the ratio 1:1 (v/v)
Group 2: equal amounts of 0.025 % octenidine dihydrochloride in water and FCA/water in the ratio 1:1 (v/v)
Day 7: closed patched topical application of 0.25 ml vehicle (group 1) or 1% test item concentration (group 2) for 28 hours

Challenge controls:
yes
Positive control substance(s):
no
Remarks:
No concurrent positve control. Reliability of the test system inciated by positive findings with other test substances.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Intradermal injections of FCA mixed with the test substance or vehicle elicited skin reactions during the dermal induction period.

The animals showed no signs of illness and had a normal body weight gain during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study the test item Octenidin-Dihydrochlorid showed no dermal sensitizing potential in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

Octenidine dihydrochloride was testedfor delayed contact hypersensitivity using the guinea pig maximation test. The test was performed according to OECD guideline No.406. The control animals showed no skin reactions. 15% of the test group animals positively responded to the treatment with octenidine dihydrochloride with slight or discrete erythema and papules 48 hours after the challenge application.
