Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Nine (9) albino New Zealand rabbits without ocular defects were used. The procedure followed was a modification of that suggested by Dr. J.H. Draize in Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, compiled by the staff of the Division of Pharmacology, Food and Drug Administration – Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

In the technique of determining toxicity of substances to eye mucosa, observation of injuries were made on the cornea, iris and the bulbar and palpebral conjunctivae. Numerical scores were assigned to lesions observed according to a standard scoring system. In this system of scoring, the injuries to the cornea and iris account for approximately eighty (80%) percent of the score; these structures are purposely weighted because of their vital role in vision. Healthy New Zealand rabbits were used for this test. One-tenth of a milliliter of the test substance was instilled in the right eye; the left eye, remaining untreated, served as a control.

The treated eyes of six rabbits remained unwashed for 24 hours. The eyes of the remaining three (3) rabbits were irrigated 4 seconds following instillation of the test material (30 ml tap water at 37 degrees C). Irrigation is important to determine the effect of washout, either beneficial or detrimental and the extent of that effect.

Readings facilitated by hand-held lenses were made 1, 2, 3, and up to 7 days after treatment.
GLP compliance:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Ocular instillation of 0.1 ml test substance into rabbit eyes was non-irritating (<1.0 / 110 Draize Score) with or without a 4 sec washout.
Executive summary:

Kronitex TCP was tested for occular irritation in rabbits and was found to be a non-irritant. No classification is applicable.
