3、ash and handrub agentscan be assessed using artificially-contaminated hands of adults. This test method uses the entiresurface of both hands in contrast to only the fingerpads in the procedure described in Test MethodE 1838. However, the reported results from these two methods are comparable. (1, 2)

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method uses adult subjects who have provideda written informed consent and whose hands hav
16、e beendetermined to be free from any apparent damage at the time oftheir participation in the study. While no fewer than sixsubjects are recommended for each virus-test substance com-bination to be evaluated, the number required may varydepending on the intended use of the data and the targetregulat
17、ory agency.4.2 All subjects should refrain from using any antimicrobi-als starting at least one week prior to the experimentalcontamination of their hands.4.3 Aprepared suspension of the selected test virus is grownand diluted or concentrated to produce a titer with a minimumof 108infective units/mL
18、. The contaminating virus is applied tothe hands and the hands are treated with the test formulationaccording to the manufacturers directions or with a set testregimen.4.4 The virus titer recovered after treatment with the testsubstance is compared to a control. For the control, the testvirus is app
19、lied to the hands and recovered after the subject hastreated the hands with standard hard water (200 ppm ascalcium carbonate) or vehicle, or both, instead of the testsubstance.4.5 The virus on experimentally-contaminated hands isexposed to the test substance for the length of time that isrepresentat
20、ive of actual use conditions of the product, forexample, from 10 to 20 s for a handsoap and 20 to 30 s for ahandrub. The virus to be recovered after exposure to the testsubstance is assayed in a cell culture system appropriate to thetest virus. The virus titer of the stock, test samples, and control
21、sis determined by a suitable infectivity assay. Cytotoxicity ofthe host cell culture system caused by the test substance orvehicle at the tested concentration is also determined. Thevirus-test substance mixture is assayed in numerous units of thehost system at a dilution just beyond the cytotoxicity
22、 range ofthe formulation tested. At least three replicate determinationsare performed on controls (untreated) and test samples (treated)to confirm the extent of virus elimination by the number of lotsrequired by the target regulatory agency. Results are recordedand log10and/or percent reduction in v
23、irus infectivity arecalculated.4.5.1 This test method is designed to be performed by atrained microbiologist or virologist who is responsible forchoosing the appropriate host system for the test virus, andapplying the techniques necessary for propagation and main-tenance for host system and test vir
24、us. For a reference text, seeRef (6).5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to evaluate the virus-eliminating activity of hygienic handwash and handrub agentsfrom experimentally-contaminated hands. Such formulationsmay be further assessed in a clinical trial for their effectivenessi
25、n the field. This test method incorporates whole-hand expo-sure and reflects actual use conditions such as friction duringhand decontamination, and also enables alternate productforms such as alcohol- or non-alcohol-based liquids, gels, andfoams to be tested according to label directions. It is mean
26、t toextend, if required, the results of testing with Test MethodE 1838, which gives precise reductions in virus infectivity ona limited area of the hands. It may also serve as an alternativetest method when product form is not amenable to testing byTest Method E 1838.5.2 This test method is not mean
27、t for use with surgical handscrubs or preoperative skin preparations.NOTE 2Application of viruses on the entire surface of both handsentails a greater risk to the subjects than using fingerpads only. Therefore,greater care is needed to ensure that the hands of the participants are freefrom any appar
28、ent damage. Also, virus preparations must be thoroughlyscreened for, or documented to be free from, extraneous or adventitiouspathogens before use in such tests.6.
