Abstract
With the growing importance of alternative test methods that implement the 3Rs principles (Reduction, Refinement and Replacement) and the global importance of biological safety assessment data for medical devices is increasing. We have developed and optimized the ‘KeraSkin™ Skin Irritation Test (KeraSkin™ SIT) for medical device’ for regulatory application in biological evaluation according to ISO 10993-23. We conducted a round robin study to optimize and evaluate the performance of KeraSkin™ SIT for medical devices using KeraSkin™ Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RhE), which is developed and manufactured in Korea. This round robin study was performed to assess the transferability, reproducibility (within and between laboratories) and predictive capacity in 1 lead laboratory and 3 participating laboratories based on OECD Guidance Document 34. The predictive capacity, the results showed 83.3 % of sensitivity, 100 % of specificity and 91.6 % of accuracy. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that ‘KeraSkin™ SIT for medical device’ provides a robust test method for detecting irritant activity of medical device extracts and can be utilized for identifying low levels of potent irritants in medical device extracts. Therefore, it fulfills the requirements to be included as a ‘me-too’ test method to EpiDerm™ and SkinEthic™ skin irritation test in ISO 10993-23.
期刊介绍:
Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), an internationally renowned journal, that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects, in animals and humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment with particular emphasis on food, drugs, and chemicals, including agricultural and industrial safety, and consumer product safety. Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs.
The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter. Studies should address at least one of the following:
-Adverse physiological/biochemical, or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances
-New techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology
-Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena
-Toxicological examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability.
Authors must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract. Furthermore, sufficient doses should be included in order to provide information on NOAEL/LOAEL values.
