Bacterial Reduction Post-product Application | Drug: 3M CHG/IPA Prep C Drug: 3M CHG/IPA Prep CH Drug: ChloraPrep Drug: Normal Saline | Phase 3 |
The primary efficacy is evaluated by demonstration that the product provides a lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of percent responders that is greater than or equal to 70% On the abdominal site, a responder is defined as a subject with a 2-log10/cm2 bacterial reduction at 10 minutes and for whom the skin flora does not return to baseline at 6 hours.
On the inguinal site, a responder is defined as a subject with a 3-log10/cm2 bacterial reduction at 10 minutes and for whom the skin flora does not return to baseline at 6 hours.

- Responder Rate [ Time Frame: baseline, 10 minutes post-product application and 6 hours post-product application ]
On the abdominal region a responder is a subject with a 2 log10/cm^2 bacterial reduction at 10 minutes and for whom the skin flora does not return to baseline at the 6-hour sample collection time.
On the inguinal region a responder is a subject with a 3 log10/cm^2 bacterial reduction at 10 minutes and for whom the skin flora does not return to baseline at the 6-hour sample collection time.
