Irritant / corrosive response data:
Animal #1 showed an erythema grade of 2 at the 24-h reading time point and an erythema score of 1 at the 48-h reading time point, which persisted up to Day 6. A well-defined edema was observed up to the 72-h reading time point, which was fully reversible on Day 5. Animal #2 showed very slight erythema at the 24-h and 48-h reading time point. Animal #3 showed well-defined erythema from the 24-h reading time point, which persisted up to the 72-h reading time point, and a slight erythema on Day 5, which was fully reversible on Day 6.In animal #2 and #3 no edema were noted at the 24-h, 48-h and 72-h reading time point. Dryness of the skin was recorded in animal # 1 on day 6 and in animal # 3 from Day 4 - 8.Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 1.3, 0.7 and 2.0 for erythema and 2.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for edema.
