Justification for test system used:
This model incorporates several features, which make it advantageous in the study of potential dermal corrosivity. The target cells are epithelial, derived from human skin, and formed into a stratified, cornified epithelium. Test items are applied to the culture surface, at the air interface, so that undiluted and/or end use dilutions can be tested directly.

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
EpiDerm™ Reconstructed Human Epidermis Model Kit
Supplier : MatTek
Date received :23 October 2018
EpiDermTM Tissues (0.63cm2) lot number : 28685
Assay Medium lot number : 1018188MSA
Upon receipt of the EpidermTM tissues, the sealed 24 well plate was stored in a refrigerator until use.


TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37°C
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable): 37°C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue under a constant soft stream of Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) (without Ca++ Mg++) for approximately 40 seconds, to gently remove any residual test item.


MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/L MTT solution
- Incubation time: 60 minutes
- Wavelength: 570 nm
- Labtech LT-4500 microplate reader and LT-com analysis software.


NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: duplicate for test item, duplicate for positive and duplicate for negative control

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE: The test item was found to directly reduce MTT and therefore additional non-viable tissues were incorporated into testing for correction purposes..



Qualitity criteria:
The results of the assay are considered acceptable if the following assay acceptance criteria are achieved:

Negative Control
- The absolute OD570 of the negative control treated tissues in the MTT-test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained in the testing laboratory after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay. The mean OD570 of the two negative control tissues should be ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for each exposure time, which ensures that the tissue viability meets the acceptance criteria.

Positive Control
- Potassium Hydroxide 8.0N solution is used as a positive control. An assay meets the acceptance criterion if mean relative tissue viability of the 60 Minute positive control is < 15%.

Coefficient of Variation
- In the range 20 and 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates should be ≤ 30%.

DECISION CRITERIA:
STEP 1
< 50% after 3 min exposure Corrosive
≥ 50% after 3 min exposure AND < 15% after 60 min exposure Corrosive

Results:
An assessment found the test item was able to directly reduce MTT. Therefore, an additional procedure using freeze killed tissues was performed. However, the results obtained showed that negligible interference due to direct reduction of MTT occurred. It was therefore considered unnecessary to use the results of the freeze killed tissues for quantitative correction of results or for reporting purposes.

Assessment of Color Interference with the MTT endpoint
The solution containing the test item did not become colored.
This was taken to indicate the test item did not have the potential to cause color interference.

3 minute 100* 3.7 91.6
60 minute 100* 2.9 89.2
*The mean viability of the negative control tissues is set at 100%



Quality Criteria:
- The mean OD570 for the negative control treated tissues was 1.931 for the 3 Minute exposure period and 1.923 for the 60 Minute exposure period. The negative control acceptance criteria were therefore satisfied.
- The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 0.055% relative to the negative control following the 60 Minute exposure period. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
- In the range 20 to 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between the two tissue replicates of each treatment group did not exceed 30%. The acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was considered to be non-corrosive to the skin.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the corrosivity potential of the test item using the EpiDerm™ Human Skin Model after treatment periods of 3 and 60 minutes.

Corrosion is directly related to cytotoxicity in the EpiDerm™ tissue. Cytotoxicity is determined by the reduction of MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) to formazan by viable cells in the test item treated tissues relative to the corresponding negative control. The results are used to make a prediction of the corrosivity potential of the test item.

Duplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3 and 60 minutes. Negative and positive control groups were treated for each exposure period. The test item was found to directly reduce MTT and therefore additional non-viable tissues were incorporated into the testing for correction purposes. At the end of the exposure period the test item was rinsed from each tissue before each tissue was taken for MTT‑loading. After MTT-loading each tissue was placed in 2 mL of Isopropanol for MTT extraction.

At the end of the formazan extraction period each well was mixed thoroughly and triplicate 200 mL samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labeled 96‑well plate. The optical density (OD) was measured at 570 nm (OD570).

Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test item treated tissues relative to negative control tissues).

The relative mean viabilities for each treatment group were as follows:
