Other effects / acceptance of results:

OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: none
- Direct-MTT reduction: none

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:


-Acceptability of the Quality Control Data of the Skin Model with Reference to Historical Batch Data:
The negative control OD values were 1.820, 1.782 and 1.842 and, thus, in the range of ≥0.8 and ≤3.0.

-Acceptability of the Positive and Negative Control:
After treatment with the positive control (5% aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate) the mean viability value was 1.53% (standard deviation: 8.38%) and, thus, lower than the historically established threshold of 3.10%. After treatment with the negative control (DPBS-buffer) the mean OD was 1.814 (standard deviation: 1.67%) and, thus, higher than the historically established threshold of 1.442.


-Test Substance Data Acceptance Criteria:
The standard deviation between the three tissues replicates treated with the test item was 0.76% and, thus, ≤18%.
The standard deviations between the three tissue replicates of the negative control and the positive control were 1.67% and 8.38%, respectively, and, thus, ≤18%.

The study met all acceptance criteria.
