Concentration / amount:

10 positive control
Details on study design:
A patch (Whatman # filter paper, 2 x 2 cm) including 0.4 g of test material, which was dissolved in 0.4 mL of sterile distilled water, was applied to the abraded and intact sites on the shaved backs (4 x 4 cm) of Guinea pigs. . It was held in place for 6 hours with three fold gauze patches, which were applied in place with elasticity bandage (6.4 cm width) to prevent leakage.


After 6 hours, three fold gauze patches were removed and the exposed areas washed using warm water without altering the existing response or the integrity of the epidermis. The skin of animals was examined in accordance with the sensitization grading system and scored at 1 and 24 hours after the patches removal for induction; and 24 and 48 hours after the patches removal for challenge.

The test of induction on the skin was performed 3 times on the day 0, 7 and 14 but the test of challenge was performed 2 weeks after the final test of induction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitising
Conclusions:
All test groups except the positive control had a sensitization score of 0 (no visible change) for both the induction and challenge test. Calcium sulfate dihydrate is not-sensitizing.
