Details on study design:

I TEST SYSTEM
- The Corrositex® assay kit is commercially available from InVitro International.
- The assay is based on the time that is required for the test substance to penetrate through the Corrositex® Biobarrier Membrane and produce a change in the Chemical Detection System (CDS).
- The Corrositex® assay is used to determine the corrosive potential of test substances. The assay is limited to testing those materials which cause detectable pH changes in the CDS
II Pretext
- Qualification screen (to determine if a color change can be detected): 150 μL of the test substance was added to the CDS screening tube. If the test substance failed to produce a color change in the CDS within one minute, the test substance could not be analyzed in this system, and no further testing was required.
- Categorization screen (to categorize weak acids/bases and strong acids/bases): the categorization screen was performed by adding 150 μL of test substance to each tube A and B. Each tube was mixed and the resulting color observed. If required, 2 drops of the "confirm" reagent were added to tube B, the tube mixed, and the resulting color observed. The test substance was scored as category 1 (high acid/alkaline reserve) or category 2 (low acid/alkaline reserve).

III MAIN TEST (Corrositex®)
- Biobarrier preparation: the vial containing the biobarrier matrix powder was placed in a water bath at 64 – 68ºC. The entire content of the biobarrier diluent vial was added slowly to the matrix powder (stir bar rotation) to avoid foaming of the solution. 200 μL of the solubilized matrix was pipetted into each of the membrane discs, and the membrane discs were then refrigerated for at least 2 hours at 2 – 8ºC. The biobarriers were wrapped and stored at 2 – 8ºC for a maximum of 7 days.
- Corrositex® assay (after acceptance of the positive control)
Four vials containing the CDS were used for the test substance. In addition, one vial was used for the PC, NC and for the color (blank) control, each.
a) A membrane disc coated with the biobarrier matrix was placed into one vial containing the CDS and approximately 500 μL of the test substance was added onto the membrane disc. An electronic time clock was started with the application. The vial was observed for three minutes for any change in the CDS.
b) If no color change was observed within three minutes, the remaining membranes were treated with the test substance. An electronic time clock was started with each application. The vials were observed continuously for the first ten minutes. Thereafter the vials were observed for approximately ten minutes around the time points relevant for evaluation or until breakthrough of the test substance occurred. The elapsed time between test-substance application and the first change in the indicator solution (i.e. barrier penetration) was recorded.
c) The positive control vial was prepared as described above and received one pellet of sodium hydroxide on top of the membrane disc. This vial was monitored continuously until breakthrough had occurred.
The negative control vial was prepared as described above and received 500 μL of 10% citric acid. This vial was observed for 60 minutes and was evaluated as “non-corrosive” if no reaction had been observed.

IV SCORING SYSTEM
- Corrosive potential was determined on the basis of the average time recorded for the test substance to produce a change in the CDS (see Table 1).
- Acceptance criteria: The Corrositex® assay was accepted if the breakthrough time for the positive control substance was in the historic control range (mean ± 2-3 x standard deviations). To demonstrate the functional integrity of the membrane barrier, the acceptance criterion for the negative control was not to induce membrane breakthrough within a 60 min observation period.
