Amount / concentration applied:

20 mg of the solid test item was applied topically to the corresponding tissues ensuring uniform coverage of the tissues. 100 ul of 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution was added for wetting of the test item. Duplicate tissues, treated with 50 ul of 0.9% wlv sodium chloride solution served as negative

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Duplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes.
Duplicate tissues were treated with the positive and negative control items for an exposure period of 240 minutes.

Details on study design:

Episkin™ model kit 0.38cm2 was supplied by Skinethic, Nice, France on 2012-02-07

EXPOSURE:
2.2 ml of assay medium, warmed to approximately 37°C, was pipetted into 2 wells of the second and third columns of the 12-well plate. The tissues were transferred into the second column.

Duplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes. Duplicate tissues were treated with the positive and negative control items for an exposure period of 240 minutes. 20 mg of the solid test item was applied topically to the corresponding tissues ensuring uniform coverage of the tissues. 100 ul of 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution was added for wetting of the test item. Duplicate tissues, treated with 50 ul of 0.9% wlv sodium chloride solution served as negative controls. Duplicate tissues, treated with 50 ul of glacial acetic acid served as positive controls. The treated tissues were kept in a biological safety cabinet at room temperature for the appropriate exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
At the end of each exposure period, each tissue was removed from the well using forceps and rinsed using a wash bottle containing Phosphate Buffered Saline Dulbeccos (PBS) with Ca++ and Mg++. Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert for approximately 40 seconds using a constant soft stream of PBS to gently remove any residual test item. Each rinsed tissue was placed into the third column of the 12—welI plate until all tissues were rinsed.

MTT ASSAY:
2.2 ml of a 0.3 mg/ml MTT solution, freshly prepared in assay medium, was pipetted into 2 wells of the fourth column of each 12 well plate. The tissues were transferred into the MTT filled wells. The tissues were incubated for 3 hours +/- 5 minutes at room temperature in a biological safety cabinet ensuring that the plates were protected from light. At the end of the 3-Hour incubation period each tissue was placed onto absorbent paper to dry. A total biopsy of the epidermis was taken using the Episkin™ biopsy punch. The epidermis was carefully separated from the collagen matrix using forceps and both parts (epidermis and collagen matrix) were placed into labelled 1.5 ml micro tubes containing 850 ul of acidified isopropanol. Each tube was plugged, mixed thoroughly and stored overnight at room temperature, protected from light, to extract formazan crystals out of the MITT—loaded tissues.

At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly on a vortex mixer to produce a homogenous coloured solution. For each tissue, duplicate 200 ul samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labelled 96-well plate. 200 ul of acidified isopropanol alone was added to the two wells designated as ‘blanks’. The optical density was measured (quantitative viability analysis) at 540 nm (without a reference filter) using the Anthos 2001 microplate reader.

The corrosivity potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained after the 3, 60 and 240-minute exposure periods, compared to the mean of the negative control tissues (n=2) treated with 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution. The relative mean viabilities were calculated in the following way: Relative mean viability (%) = (mean ODM540 of test item)/(mean ODM540 of negative control) x 100
Classification of corrosivity potential was based on relative viabilities for each exposure time according to the following prediction model:

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:
The mean OD value obtained for the duplicate tissues per test item were used to calculate the percent viability relative to the negative control, which was arbitrarily set at 100%.
According to EU CLP Cat.1 and DSD (67/548/EEC):
The test item is considered to be corrosive to skin:
(1) if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is less than 50%, or
(2) if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater than or equal to 50% and the viability after 1 hour exposure is less than 15%.
The test item is considered to be non-corrosive to skin:
(1) if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater than or equal to 50% and the viability after 1 hour exposure is greater than or equal to 15%.

ACCEPTABILITY OF THE ASSAY:
The absolute OD570 of the negative control 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. Tissue viability met the acceptance criterion if the mean OD570 of the two tissues in both treatment intervals was ≥ 0.8.
The assay met the acceptance criterion if mean relative tissue viability of the positive control was ≤ 30%.
No further information on the study design was stated.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

After exposure to the test item cobalt oxyhydroxide the relative absorbance values were unaltered at 106.9% after 3 minutes. After the 1 hour exposure relative absorbance values were reduced to 80.7%. Both values did not exceed the threshold for corrosivity of 50% for the 3 minutes exposure and 15% for the 1 hour exposure. Therefore, the test item was not considered to be corrosive.
