TEST SAMPLES:
1ppm Silver Water® solution
3ppm Silver Water® solution
20ppm Silver Water® solution
1.0% Germaben II solution

TEST:
24-hour reduction test

TEST ORGANISMS:
Esherichia Coli   ATCC 13047
Pseudomonas Aeruginose ATCC 27853
Staphylococcus Aurous ATCC 6538
Candida AlbicansATCC 14053
Aspergillus niger  ATCC 16404

OBJECTIVE:
To determine if any of the above test samples has the ability to be substantially
detrimental to a significant population of known organisms.

PROCEDURE:
Twenty milliliters (ml) of sample were transferred to each of five sterile, capped sample cups.
Each cup was inoculated with a calculated inoculum of approximately 1 x 10 of each of the
given microbial suspensions and mixed. Samples were taken and plated at 24 hours after inoculation.

RESULTS:
 

3ppm10ppm  20ppm1.0% Germaben II
E.Coli 130 <1050<10
Aeruginosa50<1010<10
Staph.Aureus4,0007503702,000
C.Albicans50 80 70<10

HOW TO READ THIS LAB TEST:

The results show and compare how much each test organism was
reduced in each product (3,10, 20 and 1.0%) in a 24-hour period.

Starting with approximately a 750,000 population of each organism, the 3ppm reduced the E.Coli 130
times, the l0ppm less than ten times, the 20ppm 50 times and the 1.0% Germaben II less than 10.

Procedure:

1. At least 20 g of product is inoculated with microbial suspension, so as to give 10 bacteria or 10 yeasts or molds per gram of product.

2. Using minimum sample size of 1 g. prepare decimal dilutions, and determine plate count/g of sample, by pour or surface plating methods.

3. Read plates after 2-3 days @ 30-35 C (bacteria/yeasts), and 3-7 days @ 20-25 C (molds).

4. Resample @ 1,2,3,7,14,28 days at ambient temp.

5. Rechallenge if specified.

Interpretation:

At least 99.9% reduction (veg. Bacteria)/90.0% reduction (molds) within 7 days. Ref: CTFA 1993 Sect. 13 pp 1-2

Challenge testing for the Burn Cream with Colloidal silver was begun on 10/22/97 for the yeast and bacteria groups (excluding Gram positive, which has not been started). And 10/30/97 for the mold group.

The yeast on bacteria groups were reduced 99.99% by day 1 and continued through day 7. The mold had a lesser percent reduction on day one however further testing must be done to make substantial claim.

In a landmark decision on Friday, Jan. 15, 1999, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the health claim rules imposed by the FDA unconstitutional and in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. The court instructed the FDA to define "significant scientific agreement" for health claims on dietary supplement labels, and instructed the FDA to allow the use of disclaimers on labels rather than to suppress these claims outright. The court further held that four FDA Final rules (prohibiting certain nutrient disease relationship claims) invalid under the first Amendment to the Constitution.
