Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: modified Kay and Calandra classification system
Conclusions:
Mild irritant
Executive summary:

A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal conjunctival irritation. Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 24-hour observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 48-hour observation. The test material produced a maximum group mean score of 3,3 and was classified as a minimal irritant (Class 3 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.
