4. Receive an irritation score of 1 (any redness, swelling, rash, or dryness present at any treatment area) for any individual skin condition prior to the Treatment Day baseline sample collection
5. Use of systemic or topical antibiotic medications, steroid medications (other than for hormonal contraception or post-menopausal reasons), or any other product known to affect the normal microbial flora of the skin during the 14-day washout conditioning period and during the test period
6. Known allergies or sensitivities to vinyl, latex (rubber), alcohols, metals, inks, or tape adhesives, or to common antibacterial agents found in soaps, lotions, or ointments, particularly isopropyl alcohol or chlorhexidine gluconate
