TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: repeat insult patch test:

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occlusive
- Description of patch: Parke-Davis Hypoallergenic Readi Bandages (20 x20 mm Webril affixed to the center of a 40 x 40 mm adhesive bandage) or the equivalent
- Vehicle / solvent: silicone
- Concentrations: 10%
- Volume applied: 0.2 ml or 0.2 g of the test material; total volume not given
- Testing/scoring schedule:
Induction: nine 24-hour applications on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 3 consecutive weeks; oedema is estimated by evaluation of the treated skin with respect to the contour of the unaffected normal skin; scoring is done just before the next application (which is 10-14 days after application 9);
Challenge: once 10-14 days after last induction to a previously unexposed test site; reactions are scored 24 and 48 hours after application
- Removal of test substance: patch was removed 24 hours after application

EXAMINATIONS
- Grading/Scoring system: no effect, barely perceptible, mild, moderate, marked or severe; challenge grades are compared to the nine sensitizing doses
- Statistical analysis: not applicable

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
No adverse reactions of any kind were noted during the course of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance, when tested at 10% dilution in silicone, is not a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

Hundred-and-two volunteers were tested by repeat insult patch test for skin sensitization. No adverse reaction of any kind was noted during the course of the study. The test substance, when tested at 10% dilution in silicone, is not a skin sensitizer.
