Efficacy Study to Evaluate Antimicrobial Effectiveness of ZuraPrep™

Recruitment & Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects may be of either sex, at least 18 years of age and of any race.
Subjects must be in good general health, as evidenced by the Subject Confidential Information and Acceptance Criteria
Subjects must read and sign an Informed Consent Form, Authorization to Use and Disclose Protected Health Information Form, and List of Restricted Products

Exclusion Criteria

Exposure of test sites to antimicrobial agents, medicated soaps, medicated shampoos, or medicated lotions, use of biocide-treated pools or hot tubs, use of tanning beds, or sunbathing during the 14-day pre-test conditioning period or during the test period.
Use of topical or systemic antimicrobials, antibiotics, or steroids (other than hormones for contraception or post-menopausal indications), or any other product known to affect the normal microbial flora of the skin during the 14-day pre-test conditioning period or during the test period.
Exposure of the test sites to strong detergents, solvents, or other irritants during the 14-day pre-test conditioning period or during the test period.
Known allergies to vinyl, latex (rubber), alcohols, metals, inks, or tape adhesives, or to common antibacterial agents found in soaps, lotions, or ointments, particularly chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), citric acid, methylene blue, methylparaben, propylparaben, or isopropyl alcohol.
A medical diagnosis of a physical condition, such as a current or recent severe illness, asthma, diabetes, hepatitis, an organ transplant, mitral valve prolapse, congenital heart disease, internal prostheses, or any immunocompromised conditions such as AIDS (or HIV positive).
Subjects must be unable to become pregnant, or willing to use an acceptable method of contraception to prevent pregnancy, if female of child-bearing potential.

Inability to become pregnant would include subjects who are:

Male
Females unable to become pregnant (i.e., postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile due to hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, uterine ablation, or bilateral tubal ligation)
Females of child-bearing potential but using acceptable methods of contraception, including one of the following methods that have been used for at least 2 weeks prior to Treatment Day Visit.

Acceptable methods of contraception include one of the following methods:

Systemic birth control (the same type of birth control for at least 3 months prior to entering the study and continuation of this type of birth control throughout the study)
Double barrier methods (condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide)
IUD
Vasectomized partner; or
Abstinence from sexual intercourse
- Any large tattoos, scars, active skin rashes, or breaks in the skin of the test sites.
- Dermatoses, cuts, lesions, or other skin disorders on or around the test sites
- A currently active skin disease or inflammatory skin condition (e.g., contact dermatitis) that, in the opinion of the Consulting Physician or Principal Investigator, would compromise subject safety or study integrity.
- Showering, bathing, or swimming within the 72 hour period prior to Baseline Day, the first Test Day, and throughout the test period.
- Participation in another clinical study in the past 30 days or current participation in another clinical study.
- Any medical condition or use of any medications that, in the opinion of the Medical Expert/Consulting Physician or Principal Investigator, should preclude participation.
- Unwillingness to fulfill the performance requirements of the study.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
ZuraPrep Config 2	ZuraPrep	Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 70% Half scrub time.
ZuraPrep Vehicle	ZuraPrep Vehicle	ZuraPrep without IPA
ZuraPrep Config 1	ZuraPrep	Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 70% Standard scrub time.
ChloraPrep	Chloraprep	Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) 2% / Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 70%

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Calculations of mean log10 reductions from baseline populations	0-24 hours post dose	Antimicrobial efficacy will be evaluated based upon calculation of mean log10 reductions from baseline populations by subtracting the log10 number of viable microorganisms recovered at each post-product application sample from the log10 number of viable microorganisms recovered in the baseline samples. The performance criteria are mean reductions in microbial flora of ≥2 log10 per square cm on skin of the abdomen and ≥3 log10 per square cm on skin of the inguen.
