Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
other: polyethylene glycol (PAG 400) + saline (70:30 parts)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g
- Concentration (if solution): 50%

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): Not reported
- Concentration (if solution): 70:30 parts of polyethylene glycol (PAG 400) + saline
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:
3 males and 3 females
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Before treatment, the entire back and flank of the rabbits were shaved and immediately before treatment the shaven skin on one side was slightly scarified. The test material was applied to the prepared abraded and intact skin.
- % coverage: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used: The patches were covered with an impermeable material and were fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Not reported
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours
The dressings were removed after a 24 hour application.

SCORING SYSTEM: The skin reaction was appraised upon removal and during an observation period of 7 days on the basis of the following evaluation scheme.

Score for skin irritation in rabbits
Erythema and eschar formation
No erythema - 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) - 1
Well defined erythema - 2
Moderate to severe erythema - 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) - 4
Total possible erythema score - 4

Edema formation
No edema - 0
Very slight edema (barely perceptible) - 1
Slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) - 2
Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 mm) - 3
Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure) - 4
Total possible edema score - 4

Assessment of irritation:
0
0.1-1.0 = minimal
1.1-2.0 = slight
2.1-4.0 = moderate
4.1-6.0 = marked
6.1-8.0 = extreme

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test item was found to cause a minimal irritation when applied to intact and abraded rabbit skin.
The primary irritation index was 1.3//0.3 for erythema/edema at 24h and 0.0/0. for erythema/oedema at 72h for intact skin. No further findings on intact skin appeared until the last day of the observation period (day 7). Findings on abraded skin were still observed in one animal on day 7

The scores read after 24 and 72 hours for erythema and edema for the intact as well as for the abraded skin were summed up and divided by 4.

Total = 1.0 + 1.6 + 0.3 + 0.3 = 3.2

Primary irritation index = 3.2 / 4 = 0.8
