- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- GLP guideline study, but reliable with restrictions - The study was conducted with an Ti-Hg, Cu-Sn Zr-Al alloy containing onla about 24.8% mercury. Minor deviations from the guideline: - A positive control group was missing in this study. - The concentration used for the induction phase should be the highest to cause mild irritation, but the concentration chosen caused no skin reaction. - Temperature range was 22 +/- 2 °C instead of 20 °C +/- 3°C. - Animals were not weighed at the end of the test. - The expiration date of the test item was not stated.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- The preliminary test was performed on a total of 2 animals in order to select the highest concentration that causes mild irritation to be used in the induction phase and the highest concentration that proves not to be irritating for the challenge exposure.
- Four concentrations, 75, 50, 25 and 12.5 % (w/v) were tested for the patch application.
- Each test article concentration was tested on 2 animals.
- An aliquot of each test article concentration was applied to the skin with a closed patch.
- Six hours after the administration, the patches were removed and the animals observed for up to 48 h for local reactions on the skin areas.
- All the concentrations used were well tolerated and not irritant.
- The highest concentration resulted in slight grey coloration which did not prevent skin evaluation.
- Therefore, the test article was used at the concentration of 75 % in the induction phase and for challenge exposure.
MAIN STUDY
- The test article MISCELA HY-TQS was suspended in paraffin oil (Batches No.s: 149 K 16870060 and 239 K 18423160; Expiry date: June and July, respectively 1997 (shelf life); Producer: Merck, Darmstadt (Germany)) to obtain a concentration of 75 % (w/v).
- The test article was ground in a mortar, mixed with a small amount of vehicle and then made up to volume while stirred.
- The test article formulates were prepared just prior to administration.
Induction phase:
- Day -1: an area of about 6 x 6 cm on the left flank of the animals of the treatment and control group was clipped with an electric clipper before treatment. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin.
- Day 0: a filter paper (3M Whatman 2 x 3 cm) was fully-loaded with the test article or vehicle and applied to the skin areas clipped the day before. The patch was covered by an overlapping impermeable, hypoallergenic, plastic adhesive tape (3M Blenderm). This in turn was firmly secured by adhesive bandage (3M Micropore), wound around the torso of the animal. The dressing was left in place for 6 h.
- Days 7 and 14: the same application as on Day 0 was carried out on the same test area, clipped the day before treatment.
Challenge application:
- Day 27: an area of about 6 x 6 cm on the right flank of the animals of the two groups was clipped.
- Day 28: an occlusive patch (2 x 3 cm) loaded with the test article was applied to the posterior of the right flank of all animals, while the vehicle was applied analogously to the anterior of the flank. The patches were kept in contact for 6 h.
- Days 29 and 30: approximately 21 h after removing the patches the challenge areas were clipped and approximately 3 h later (about 30 h after application of the challenge patch) the skin was observed and any reaction recorded (day 29). Twenty-four hours after the above observation a second observation was made and again recorded (day 30).
OBSERVATION:
- For the evaluation of the skin reactions the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale was used.
- Observations of clinical signs were made daily.
- Body weight was recorded pre-trail and weekly thereafter.
- During the induction period, the skin was observed for irritant effects.
No further information on the study design was stated. - Challenge controls:
- - Control group: paraffin oil (induction phase); 75 % (w/v) of test material (challenge period)
- 10 male guinea pigs were used for the vehicle control group. - Positive control substance(s):
