Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
The test article was a slight eye irritant. It caused slight erythema of the adnexa and staining of the nictitating membrane with fluorescein dye. Immediate washing did not noticeably alter the irritant reaction. All washed and unwashed eyes appeared clinically normal by 72 hours after administration of the test material.
