Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Installation of 0.1 ml of the test material into the right eye of three rabbits produced a moderate irritation involving only the conjunctivae. On the seventh day of observation these eyes were normal showing full reversibility.
Executive summary:

CERAPHYL® 41 was mildly irritating to the eyes of rabbits. Three albino rabbits received a single application of CERAPHYL® 41 (0.1 ml) into the conjunctival sac of one eye. The contralateral eye, remaining untreated, served as a control. The eyes were examined and scored for effects on the cornea, iris and conjunctiva on Days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 after treatment. No corneal opacity or iritis was observed. Conjunctival irritation, noted in all the eyes, cleared by Day 7.
