Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
The substance was tested on 6 rabbits (3 males/3 females); only rabbits showing normal ophthalmic findings were included in the test.
- Housing: individually in V2A wire cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): NAFAG, Gossau SG, rabbit food; ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): drinking water; ad libitum

No additional details provided

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
- Time after start of exposure: about 30 seconds after treatment

SCORING SYSTEM: comparable to the OECD scoring system after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, and after 7 days.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp

Max. score:

3

Reversibility:

fully reversible within: 48 hours

Remarks on result:

other: a conjunctivae irritation index of 6 is calculated for one animal, without rinsing, 24 hours after treatment (0 in all others without); a maximal redness score of 3 (worst case assumption) could therefore have been observed in the affected animal.

Results 4

Irritation parameter:

chemosis score

Basis:

mean

Time point:

other: 24-48-72-hours

Score:

0.33

Max. score:

4

Reversibility:

fully reversible within: 48 hours

Remarks on result:

other: a conjunctivae irritation index of 6 is calculated for one animal, without rinsing, 24 hours after treatment (0 in all others without); a maximal chemosis score of 3 (worst case assumption) could therefore have been observed in the affected animal.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The only sign of irritation was conjunctivae redness, chemosis and/or discharge observed in one animal (without rinsing) after 24 hours, but was completely reversible within 48 hours. It therefore can be assumed that the test substance is not irritating to the rabbit eye.
