In vitro

Results
Irritation parameter:
in vitro irritation score
Run / experiment:
Tolfamato
Value:
ca. 94
Negative controls validity:
valid
Remarks:
Mean In vitro Irritation Score Negative control -1.0
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks:
Mean In vitro Irritation Score Positive control 113
Remarks on result:
other: Data shown are Mean IVIS taken into account: 1) Calculated using the negative control mean opacity and mean permeability values. 2) In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD490 value).

Any other information on results incl. tables

The corneas trated with the positive control were turbid after the 240 minutes of treatment.

Corneas treated showed opacitiy values ranging from 74 to 106 and permeability values ranging from -0,021 to 0,064.

Irritancy score was 94 after 240 minutes of treatment with Tolfamato. The induced irritation was mainly observed at one endpoint.Since Tolfamato induced an IVIS>55,1. It is concluded that tolfamato is corrosive or severe irritante in the Bovine corneal Opacity and Permeability Test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
