REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert for approximately 40 seconds using a constant soft stream of PBS with Ca++ an Mg++ to gently remove any residual test material. Each rinsed tissue was placed into the third column of the 12-well plate until all tissues were rinsed.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 0.3 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 hours ± 5 minutes
- Spectrophotometer: Anthos 2001 microplate reader
- Wavelength: 540 nm
- Filter: without reference filter

Mean OD540 values and viabilities for the negative control, positive control and test material are given in Table 1.
The qualitative evaluation of tissue viability is given in Table 2. Following the 3, 60 and 240 min exposure periods the test material treated tissues appeard blue which was considered to be indicative of viable tissue.

Quality Criteria

The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 3.1% relative to the negative control treated tissues following the 240-Minute exposure period. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The relative mean cell viability of the test material treated tissues was 117.4, 135.4 and 105.5% after 3, 60 and 240 min exposure, respectively. Under the conditions of this study, the test material is thus considered to be not corrosive in vitro. Therefore, the test material does not meet the criteria for classification for Skin corrosion Category 1 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) or the Globally Harmonized System (GHS).

CLP: not classified
GHS: not classified
