Medical devices - in vitro eye irritation (OECD492b)
Parameters (qualitative): in vitro eye irritation
Article Number: 2011290
Description: With the SkinEthic Human Corneal Epithelium (HCE) Time-to-Toxicity (TTT) test the eye irritation shall be tested with a reconstructed human corneal epithelium (HCE) according to OECD492b. The samples should be classified according to UN GHS Cat. 1, Cat. 2 and No Cat. The samples are a simulated extract. The extraction of a medical device is not part of the proficiency test.
Category: immunological, molecular biological and microbiological testing medical devices In vitro procedure
Accreditation: This proficiency test is not included in the scope of the accreditation.
