Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology KG
- Age at study initiation: Males were approximately five months and the female nine months.
- Weight at study initiation: Males: 2.5-2.6 kg and female: 2.6 kg
- Housing: for eight hours following instillation the animals were kept singly in restrainers which allowed free head movements but prevented a complete body turn and wiping of the eyes with paws.
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 20 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20± 3
- Humidity (%): 55 ±15
- Air changes (per hr): No data
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 09.04.2002 To: 03.05.2002

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 ml



Duration of treatment / exposure:
Eyes were not rinsed, so exposure lasted until the test substance was cleared naturally from the eye.
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours (at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours)
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Two males and one female
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: No washing done


SCORING SYSTEM: according to Draize and OECD TG 405.


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: 24 hours after instillation the eyes were treated additionally with fluorescein and examined.
