Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 2072 grams - 2212 grams
- Housing: individual stainless steel cages, brand Tecniplast; cleaning: automatic
- Diet (daily dose of 150 g): special diet for experimental rabbits, provided by an authorized provider
- Drink: automatic ad libitum, treated and filtered at 5 µm
- Acclimation period: 7 days

At arrival at the Unit, rabbits went through a health control.

- Relative humidity: 55 % +/- 25 %
- Air: renewed 15 times per hour and prefiltered at 5 µm
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 g of the solid test item (grinded to fine dust) was administered into the conjunctival bag of one eye by separating the lower eyelid.The untreated eye was used as control.
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7 days after administration of the test substance
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males
Details on study design:
The rabbits were fixed in an immobilization trap during test item administration.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
not stated

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: in order to facilitate the evaluation of the reactions, light from a manual lamp was used and 24 hours after administration of the test item, fluorescein was used to check for injuries of the cornea.

OBSERVATIONS:
- Weight control: it was performed at the beginning of the study
- General examination: the general condition of the animal was observed, as well as the conditions of the eyes. Special attention was given to the apparition of modifications on the treated eye: cornea, iris, conjunctiva, as well as any other injury observed.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Opacity of the cornea of grade 1 affecting 1/4 of the eyeball was observed in two animals at the 1 hour and 24 hour observations. Opacity of the cornea of grade 1 was also observed in the remaining animal at the 1 hour observation.
Injury of the iris of grade 1 was observed in two animals at the 1 hour observation. Injury of the iris of grade 1 was also observed in the remaining animal at the 1 hour and 24 hour observation.
Erythema of the conjunctiva of grade 2 was observed in all animals at the 1 hour, 24 hour and 48 hour observations. The erythema of the conjunctiva changed to a grade 1 in all animals at the 72 hour observation and had disappeared by day 7.
Oedema of the conjunctiva of grade 1 was observed in one animal at the 1 hour, 24 hour and 48 hour observations and in another animal at the 1 hour and 48 hour observation. Oedema of the conjunctiva of grade 2 was observed in the remaining animal at the 1 hour observation , which changed to a grade 1 at the 24 hour observation and had disappeared at the 48 hour observation.
