Outcome  TimePoints 
To determine the antimicrobial effectiveness of various test products for use as Health Care Personnel Handwashes using indicator microorganism Serratia marcescens for hand contaminations. Between 8 to 24 volunteers is tested using each test configuration over eleven consecutive hand contaminations, the first followed by baseline sample and the remaining ten by product applications, with microbial samples taken after product applications one, three, seven, and ten.   Critical indices are a two log10 reduction at wash 1 and a three log10 reduction at wash 10.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The purpose of this study is to determine the antimicrobial effectiveness of various test products for use as Health Care Personnel Handwashes. The indicator microorganism used for hand contaminations will be Serratia marcescens. Volunteers will be tested using each test configuration over the course of eleven consecutive hand contaminations, the first followed by a sample for baseline, and the remaining ten by product applications, with microbial samples taken after product applications one, three, seven, and ten. A volunteer may be tested for more than one product as long as there is a gap of one month between two testings.
