Irritant / corrosive response data:
Test material caused extensive ocular damage. Response was so severe that many parameters in the animals with non-rinsed eyes could not be evaluated: these animals were sacrificed at day 7 for humane reasons. Animals with rinsed eyes exhibited positive scores for all parameters (conjunctival redness, chemosis, necrosis and ulceration, corneal opacity and ulceration, and iridial damage). All three animals exhibited pannus and continued to exhibit signs of irritation at termination of the observation period (day 14).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the test substance was found to be extremely irritating to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to evaluate the eye irritation potential of C-171in rabbit eyes. The study performed was similar to OECD Guideline 405.

0.1 mL of the substance was instilled into the right eye of nine rabbits; the left eye served as an untreated control. One group of six rabbits received no further treatment. In the second group, three rabbits eyes were rinsed 20 s post-instillation for 60 s. Irritation was scored by the Draize scoring system at 24, 48 and 72 h and 4, 7, 9, 11 and 14 d post-instillation.

The substance caused extensive eye damage. Response was so severe that many parameters in animals with non-rinsed eyes could not be evaluated: these animals were sacrificed at Day 7 for humane reasons. Animals with rinsed eyes exhibited positive scores for all parameters (conjunctival redness, chemosis, necrosis and ulceration, corneal opacity and ulceration, and iridial damage). All three animals exhibited pannus and continued to exhibit signs of irritation at termination of the observation period (Day 14).

In conclusion, under the conditions of the study, the test substance was found to be extremely irritating to the rabbit eye.
