Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Porton strain bred on the premises
- Age at study initiation: 10-12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: ca. 2.23 kg for males and 2.55 kg for females
- Housing: caged singly in an experimental room
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): commercial irradiated diet (Styles-Oxoid); ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): sterile filtered drinking water; ad libitum
- Acclimation period: one week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 1°C
- Humidity (%): 50-70%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 10/14

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated eye of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 100 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
continuously (3 animals without rinsing) or 30 second (3 animals with rinsing)
Observation period (in vivo):
up to 7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 without rinsing and 3 with rinsing
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the treated eyes of 3 rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water for 1 min (only the rabbits without washing are further considered for assessment, because they are closer to the guideline conditions)
- Time after start of exposure: about 30 seconds after treatment

SCORING SYSTEM: comparable to the OECD scoring system after 1, 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours, and after 7 days.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Only chemosis (in all 3 animals without washing; scores 2, 2 and 1, respectively after 1 hours) and conjunctivae redness (in 2/3 animals after 1 hour [scores, each 1]; in 3/3 animals after 6 hours [1, 2 and 1 respectively]; and in 1/3 animals after 24 hours [1]) were observed, but were fully reversible within 6 and 48 hours, respectively. It therefore can be assumed that the test substance is not irritating to the rabbit eye.
