Brief summary
This is a safety study to determine the cumulative skin irritation potential of ZuraPrep™ and ZuraPrep™ without Isopropyl Alcohol after repetitive patch applications to skin of human subjects.
Detailed description
This cumulative irritation evaluation is designed to determine the skin irritation potential of ZuraPrep™ and ZuraPrep™ without Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) after repetitive patch application to skin of healthy human subjects.
Interventions
The degree of skin irritation caused by ChloraPrep will be graded and compared to ZuraPrep and ZuraPrep without IPA.
The degree of skin irritation caused by 0.1% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate will be graded and compared to ZuraPrep and ZuraPrep without IPA.
The degree of skin irritation caused by 0.9% Physiological Saline will be graded and compared to ZuraPrep and ZuraPrep without IPA.
Results from exposure to ZuraPrep will be compared statistically those from exposure to ZuraPrep without IPA

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scoring Scale (0-7) for Visual Evaluation of Skin Condition | 0-21 days post dose | Results from skin scores of ZuraPrep and ZuraPrep without IPA will be compared statistically, and both will be compared to the Positive Control (0.1% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scoring Scale (0-7) for Visual Evaluation of Skin Condition | 0-21 days post dose | The degree of skin irritation caused by the Reference Product (ChloraPrep) and the Negative Control (0.9% Physiological Saline) will be graded. |
