Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Centre Lago S.A., 01540 Vonnas, France
- Age at study initiation: About 5 - 7 months
- Weight at study initiation: 3.07 - 3.58 kg
- Housing: Single housing in stainless steel wire mesh cages with grating, floor area: 3000 cm2
- Diet: Kliba-Labordiät (Kaninchen & Meerschweinchenhaltung "GLP"), Provimi Kliba SA, Kaiseraugst, Basel, Switzerland (about 130 g/animal per day)
- Water: Tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-24
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): fully air-conditioned rooms.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Untreated left eye
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL bulk volume (about 34 mg of the comminuted test substance)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
About 1 hour
Observation period (in vivo):
28 days
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: After application of the solid test substance the treated eye of the animal(s) was rinsed with 3 to 6 mL of hand warm tap water for 1 to 2 minutes using a syringe with a blunt probe.
- Time after start of exposure: About 1 hour

SCORING SYSTEM: The evaluation of eye irritation is performed according to the quoted guidelines. In addition to specific observations recommended by the regulatory authorities, evaluations were made of discharge from the eye and the area of cornea affected by the lesions.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Daylight tubes "Lumilux" (L 58W/860 PLUS ECO 25X1, Osram, Germany)

Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Moderate conjunctival redness and conjunctival chemosis and moderate to severe discharge were observed in all animals 1 hour after application.
- Moderate or severe conjunctival redness were observed in all animals up to 72 hours and decreased to slight in two animals after 7 days.
- Moderate to marked conjunctival chemosis, noted in all animals after 24 hours, decreased to slight to moderate after 48 hours and to slight 72 hours after application.
- Moderate to severe discharge persisted in all animals up to 48 hours after application and decreased in two animals to slight after 72 hours.
- Slight corneal opacity noted in one animal after 24 and 48 hours increased to moderate 72 hours after application and decreased thereafter (day 7) to slight.
- Moderate iritis was observed in two animals 24 or 72 hours after application.
- Suppuration, contracted pupil, discharge of blood and injected scleral vessels, circular or in a circumscribed area were observed during the observation period.
- The ocular reactions were reversible in one animal within 7 days and in two animals within 14 days after application.
