Materials and methods

Type of sensitisation studied:
skin
Study type:
study with volunteers
Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Individuals with no pre-existing history of Ni intolerance underwent patch testing with 5, 10, and 20% nickel sulphate solutions. In addition, a distilled water and a blank test chamber control were included. Patches were removed after 24 hours. Individuals were re-tested 30 days later.

Details on study design:
Patch-Test (Finn Chambers on Scanpor tape)
5, 10, and 20% nickel sulphate solution. Individuals with no pre-existing history of Ni intolerance underwent patch testing with nickel sulphate. Patch test concentrations: 5, 10, and 20% nickel sulphate solution, distilled water, and a blank test chamber. Patches were removed after 24 hours. Individuals were re-tested 30 days later.

STATISTICAL METHOD:
- Student's t test. The level of significance was 0.05.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
The authors reported that no papular or vesicular reactions were observed at nickel patch test sites. Slight erythematous reactions were observed
at control and nickel test sites. The authors reported that "nickel sulfate solutions at concentrations up to 20% are not irritant to theskin of non-nickel-sensitive subjects."

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Nickel sulfate solutions at concentrations up to 20% are not irritant to the skin of non-nickel-sensitive subjects.
