Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the treated eye remained unwashed following the instillation

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: 24 h after instillation of the test substance, a 2% fluorescein solution was instilled into both eyes of each animal to quantatively determine the corneal epithelial damage

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjunctivae (score 1) was observed in 3/3 animals at the 1-h reading time point; persisting until the 24-h reading time point. The conjunctivae had cleared in all animals within 48 h. The scores for chemosis were 0 at all the reading time points in all animals. No effects on the iris and cornea were noted in any rabbit at any time point.
Other effects:
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occured.
