Test system

Controls:
other: 3 corneas as positive control treated with ethanol 100%
Amount / concentration applied:
The test item was extracted and the test item extract was tested at 100% concentration.
The extraction of the test item was performed according to ISO 10993-12 [8].
In total a ratio of 60 cm2 of sample to 20 mL of extraction medium was used.
The test item was extracted under agitation at 37 ± 1 °C for 72 ± 2 h
The extraction vehicle was physiological saline 0.9% NaCl, B. Braun Melsungen, lot no. 13014404, expiry date: 12/2015
After the extraction procedure neither the test item nor the extraction medium showed any abnormalities. No turbidity, no colour changes and no particles occurred in the extraction medium.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Test Groups
3 corneas for the test item
3 corneas as negative controls treated with physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
3 corneas as positive control treated with ethanol 70%
3 corneas as positive control treated with ethanol 100%
The BCOP assay is considered to be valid if the in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control falls within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
