1 The skin reaction was grading according to “Magnusson and Kligman scale”.

2 The sensitizing capacity of the test article was classified according to the “Scoring system of Kligman”.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to OECD 406 test method and "Scoring system of Kligman", the sensitization rate of Eversorb EP4 was 0% and Eversorb EP4 caused weak sensitization in guinea pigs. Therefore, Eversorb EP4 was not met a category based on GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

This test using the procedures outlined in the SuperLab Study Plan for M62-151100160001EN which is based on the SOP for the OECD 406 (SOPP-339) and OECD 406 (OECD, 1992). The results of this OECD 406 test for Eversorb EP4 show that test reliability criteria was met.

A 100% Eversorb EP4 was used for intradermal injection and occlusively patched, to ten test guinea pigs to induce sensitization. The normal saline was used for similar injection and occlusively patched to five control guinea pigs. Following a recovery period, animals received a challenge patch with 100% Eversorb EP4. The skin sensitization reactions were scored at approximately 24 and 48 hours after patch removal. At the end of study, body weight increase was observed in all animals. During 48 hours after challenge exposure, 0% treated animals showed sensitization to the Eversorb EP4. Under the conditions of this study, Eversorb EP4 did not caused any sensitization in guinea pigs.
