SOURCE AND COMPOSITION OF MEMBRANE BARRIER USED
- Was the Corrositex® test kit used: yes
- Components:qualify test tubes

WAS THE COMPATIBILITY TEST PERFORMED: yes
This step ensures that the sample is compatible with the CORROSITEX™ system. 100 mg of the test substance are added to the Qualify test tube. Solids were shaken to dissolve solids, if necessary. If the colour or consistency of the CDS changes at the sample/testing fluid interface, the test material is qualified for the assay. If no reaction is observed within five minutes, the sample is not qualified for the CORROSITEX™ Assay.

WAS THE TIMESCALE CATEGORY TEST PERFORMED: yes
The categorisation step could not be performed, since the substance was incompatible with the Corrositex assay, as assessed in the qualification step.

TEMPERATURE USED DURING TREATMENT: room temperature

METHOD OF DETECTION
- Chemical or electrochemical detection system: chemical detection system

METHOD OF APPLICATION (CLASSIFICATION TEST):
The classification step could not be performed, since the substance was incompatible with the Corrositex assay, as assessed in the qualification step.


TEST ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:
The test meets acceptance criteria if:
- Test item qualifies in qualification test
- Positive control activates CDS > 3 - 60 min.
- Negative control activates CDS not before 60 min.

The exact breakthrough time of the positive control should be determined to demonstrate that the response is in the acceptable historical range of breakthrough times for the positive control (mean ± 2-3 standard deviations).

Control samples:

not required

Amount/concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL (Qualification Step)
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): approx. 100 mg of the test item

Duration of treatment / exposure:

5 minutes (Qualification Step)

Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

not applicable

Number of replicates:

not applicable

Remarks on result:

other: The substances was incompatible with the Corrositex Assay, as assessed in the qualification step.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

QUALIFICATION TEST
The test substance was not able to activate the CDS within 5 min in the qualification step. The test substance was incompatible with the CORROSITEX™ Assay, as assessed in the qualification step. The categorization step and the classification step could not be performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
