Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Envigo CRS (Switzerland) Limited
- Age at study initiation: approx. 3 months
- Weight at study initiation: 2.18 kg – 2.35 kg
- Housing: single
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): STANRAB (P) SQC; SDS Special Diets Services, 67122 Altrip, Germany, ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before application

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20°C +/- 3°C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70 %
- Air changes (per hr): Approx. 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
other: deionized water
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
- Form of application: 80% (w/v) solution in de-ionized water (saturated solution)
Due to the physical state (highly viscous paste) the test item was not applicable in the usual dosage form as a solid. Therefore the test item was solved at the technical highest concentration of 80% (w/w) in deionized water.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
7 d
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 (female)
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: about 24 hours after application of the test item the treated eye of the animal(s) was rinsed with 3 to 6 mL of lukewarm tap water for 1 to 2 minutes using a syringe with a blunt probe
