- Expiration date: 25 June 2018

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: room temperature
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable): 36.6 - 37.3°C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: once with phosphate buffered saline
- Observable damage in the tissue due to washing: no

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 0.3 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Histology scoring: 22.4 +/- 0.4
- Satisfactory epidermis layer
- Contamination: on blood of the same donors it was verified that there was an absence of HIV 1 and 2 antibodies, hepatitis C antibodies, hepatitis B antigen HBs. On epidermal cells of the same donors it was verified that there was an absence of bacteria, fungus and mycoplasma.

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3 replicates for the test item, positive control and negative control exposed skin tissues each. OD measurements on each replicate were performed in duplicate.

MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE:
- The test item was checked for direct MTT reduction and interference in a previous study and was concluded that it did not interfere with the MTT endpoint.

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (see table 1)
A test item is considered irritant in the skin irritation test if:
- The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is ≤ 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.
A test item is considered non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test if:
- The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is > 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.

ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA:
- The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the three tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤18.
- The mean relative tissue viability of the positive control should be ≤40% relative to the negative control and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤18.
- The SD calculated from individual % tissue viabilities of the three identically treated replicates should be ≤18.

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

yes, concurrent positive control

Amount/concentration applied:

- Test item: 25 µL
- Positive control: 25 µL
- Negative control: 25 µL (re-spread after 7 minutes contact time)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

15 ± 0.5 minutes

Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

42 hours, followed by 3 hours with MTT

Number of replicates:

3
