In-Vivo Efficacy Testing:

This study shows that exogenously applied Serratia Marcescens ATCC #14756 was reduced by an average of 3.65 log10 after the first application and by an average of 3.17 log10 after the tenth application. These results significantly exceed the log reductions required by the TFM (Tentative Final Monograph).

Skin Sensitivity Results: Repeat Insult Patch Test

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the potential for inducing skin irritancy with Avant-EX Instant Hand Sanitizer.

Method: Fifty-three healthy subjects were involved in the study. The induction phase included five patch applications of Avant-EX worn for forty-eight or seventy-two hours each. A rest phase followed for forty-eight hours. Finally, in the challenge phase, patch applications were again worn for forty-eight and seventy-two hours followed by scoring for reactions indicative of skin irritation.

Results: There was no evidence suggesting that Avant-EX Instant Hand Sanitizer has a potential for contact sensitization or skin irritation.
