Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

not required

Amount / concentration applied:

ca 100 MG

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24h

Observation period (in vivo):

1, 24, 48 and 72h after test material administration.
All rabbits were observed at least once each day for mortality and moribundity.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3 treated animals

Details on study design:

On the day of the treatment, a 0.1 g dose was placed in the everted lower lid of the right eye of each test subject. The lids of each treated eye were held closed for approximately two seconds following administration of the test material. The test material was rinsed from the eye with water 24h after instilation. All rabbits were observed at least once each day for mortality and moribundity. The treated and control eyes of each test rabbit were examing using a penlight. The cornea was observed for presence and/or degree of opacity; the iris for deepened rugae, congestion, swelling and circumcorneal injection, and reaction to light; and the conjunctiva for redness and chemosis. Fluorescein and ultraviolet light were used to aid in theexemination at the 24- and 48- hour scoring interval.
Evaluation of the results: For each animal, mean scores for corneal opacity, iris lesions, conjunctival redness and chemosis were calculated by adding the scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours and dividing by three. The irritation potential of the test material was assessed according to the criteria cited in the OPPTS 870.2400 grading of ocular lesions.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Conjunctival redness and/or chemosis were seen in two rabbits at the 1-hour scoring interval and persisted as conjunctival redness in one rabbit at
the 24h interval. A small corneal opacity was seen in one of the rabbits at the 24h scoring interval (score of 1). All rabbits were completely recovered
from all signs of ocular irritation by the 48-hour scoring interval.
No death occured.

Other effects:

No other effects.

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: According to the criteria cited in the OPPTS 870.2400 grading of ocular lesions (see attached document).

Conclusions:

The test item was found to be not irritant to rabbit eyes according to the conditions of this study.

Executive summary:

The study was performed according to EPA OPPTS 870.2400 (Acute Eye Irritation).

Conjunctival redness and/or chemosis were seen in two rabbits at the 1-hour scoring interval and persisted as conjunctival redness in one rabbit at the 24h interval. A small corneal opacity was seen in one of the rabbits at the 24h scoring interval (score of 1).

All rabbits were completely recovered from all signs of ocular irritation by the 48-hour scoring interval.
