Test Results > Safety > Eye Irritation Test

Test Objective:
To ascertain the potential for eye irritation of SyDERMA®.

Test Procedure:
This test procedure is described by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, 16 CFR, Section 1500.42.

Interpretation of Assay:
This test is interpreted as:
    Positive: If four or more test subjects exhibit a positive response on the cornea, iris or conjunctiva.
    Negative: If one or less test subjects exhibit a positive response on the cornea, iris or conjunctiva.
    Inconclusive: If two or three test subjects exhibit a positive response on the cornea, iris or conjunctiva.

See Grades For Ocular Lesions section which follows for definition of positive responses.


Test Results:
SyDERMA®,when tested as supplied in accordance with the above procedure, produced minimal conjunctival irritation in five of six test subjects. There were no positive responses. All signs of irritation cleared by day 4 of the study. Therefore, SyDERMA® would not be considered a primary eye irritant as defined by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, 16 CFR, Section 1500.3 (c).(4).
