Method Avagard D instant hand antiseptic was brought in contact with a known population of organisms for a specified period of time at a specified temperature. The activity of the Avagard D instant hand antiseptic was stopped at specified sampling intervals and samples were plated to enumerate the surviving bacteria. The percent reduction from the initial population was calculated for each organism. Conclusion Avagard D instant hand antiseptic offers fast and effective reduction of a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Avaga r d D Instant Hand Antiseptic for Healthcare Personnel Use

In VivoAntimicrobial Efficacy Two studies evaluated the antimicrobial effectiveness of 3M™ Avagard™ D Instant Hand Antiseptic compared to control materials in reducing transient bacteria applied to the hands of healthy volunteers. The procedure used in each study was a modified version of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E1174-94, Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Healthcare Personnel Handwash Formulations. Single-Wash Healthcare Personnel Handwash Study #1 Objective To evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of Avagard D instant hand antiseptic compared to 60% v/v alcohol in reducing transient bacteria, as specified in the Tentative Final Monograph for Health-Care Antiseptic Drug Products (TFM) Method This was a single blinded parallel comparison. The hands of thirty-two (32) healthy volunteers were contaminated with Serratia marcescensand the baseline level of marker organisms on each volunteer’s hands was determined. Following a single handwash, using either Avagard D instant hand antiseptic or 60% alcohol, the glove juice technique was used to recover the surviving bacteria. Log reductions from baseline were calculated for each product. Single-Wash Healthcare Personnel Handwash Study #2 Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of Avagard D instant hand antiseptic compared to Purell ® Instant Hand Sanitizer (a leave-on alcohol product, containing 61% ethyl alcohol) and Bacti-Stat® Healthcare Personnel Hand Wash (a wash-off soap, containing 0.3% Triclosan as an active ingredient) in producing an immediate reduction in transient bacteria on the hands, as specified in the Tentative Final Monograph for Health-Care Antiseptic Drug Products (TFM) Method This was a single blinded parallel comparison. The hands of fifty-one (51) healthy volunteers were contaminated with Serratia marcescens and the baseline level of marker organisms on each volunteer’s hands was determined. Following a single handwash, using either Avagard D instant hand antiseptic, Purell instant hand sanitizer, or Bacti-Stat healthcare personnel hand wash, the glove juice technique was used to recover the surviving bacteria. Log reductions from baseline were calculated for each product. Conclusion After one 3 ml application, Avagard D instant hand antiseptic resulted in a 3.01 log reduction of bacteria on contaminated hands. When tested at equal volumes, Avagard D instant hand antiseptic showed no significant difference from Purell instant hand sanitizer (3.15 log reduction). However against Bacti- Stat healthcare personnel hand wash (2.36 log reduction), Avagard D instant hand antiseptic demonstrated better immediate reduction of seeded bacteria. As set forth in the TFM 3, Avagard D instant hand antiseptic satisfies the acceptance criterion of a 2 log bacterial reduction following a single wash with a healthcare personnel handwash. 3M™ A vagard™ D Instant Hand Antiseptic 60% ethyl alcohol Reduction of Seeded Bacteria Log Reduction10 2.68 2.64 Conclusion After one 3 ml application, Avagard D instant hand antiseptic resulted in a 2.68 log reduction (99.8%) of bacteria on contaminated hands, with no significant difference from 60% ethyl alcohol (p=0.91).

Method The test articles were applied to the upper back of thirty-six (36) healthy volunteers daily for twenty-one (21) days, and remained in contact with the skin for twenty-four (24) hours with each application. Dermal irritation was evaluated daily. Results Avagard D instant hand antiseptic was classified as a mild material, under occlusive and semi-occlusive conditions. The irritation scores were significantly less than the control articles of 0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate (positive control), 61% ethyl alcohol, Hibiclens ® Antiseptic/Antimicrobial Skin Cleanser, 0.9% physiological saline (negative control), but not significantly different from Curel ® Therapeutic Moisturizing Lotion.

Copyright © 3M (IPC) 2000. All rights reserved. 70-2009-3003-3 WG Objective The objective of this study was to determine the potential for inducing sensitization with 3M™ Avagard™ D Instant Hand Antiseptic. Method The test article was applied to the upper back of 217 healthy volunteers. The study design consisted of three (3) phases:

  • Induction Phase — Nine (9) applications of the test article over a three (3) week period. Patches were worn for forty- eight (48) hours (Monday and Wednesday applications) or seventy-two (72) hours (Friday application) with patch removal/application performed by study staff.
  • Rest P eriod — Two (2) week period between induction and challenge.
  • Challeng e Phase — Application of the test article to a naive site, scored forty-eight (48) and ninety-six (96) hours post application for reactions indicative of contact sensitization. Results There was no evidence suggesting that Avagard D instant hand antiseptic has a potential for contact sensitization.

Latex Glove Compatibility Study Objective To determine if Avagard D instant hand antiseptic has a negative effect on the tensile strength and elongation at break of latex medical exam gloves. Method Forty-eight (48) dogbone shapes were cut from the palms of the gloves. Each sample was checked for flaws; flawed samples were discarded. Twelve (12) samples were tested as a control without any product on them. Twelve (12) samples were put in contact with Avagard D instant hand antiseptic, and twelve (12) samples were put in contact with mineral oil. A commercially available mineral oil was used as a positive control because of the known effect of mineral oil on latex. Mineral oil is known to swell latex and decrease the tensile strength. After having contact for ninety (90) minutes, any excess Avagard D instant hand antiseptic or oil was wiped off and glove samples were allowed to stand for another thirty (30) minutes. Within the next thirty (30) minutes, tensile strength and elongation at break were measured. Results Avagard D instant hand antiseptic did not significantly affect the tensile strength or the elongation at break of the exam gloves. The treated and untreated control gloves were equivalent in strength and elongation (within 20% with 95% confidence). In contrast, tensile strength and elongation at break were significantly reduced in glove samples treated with mineral oil.
