Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.1 g
Observation period (in vivo):
Irritation was observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 4, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 days post-instillation
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The eyes of all animals were washed with 30ml of physiological saline 20-30 seconds after instillation.


SCORING SYSTEM: Draize


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Occular irritation was evaluated using a high-intensity white light (Mag Lite). The fluorescein dye procedure was used at 24 hours and at all subsequent scoring intervals to evaluate the extent of corneal damage.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Severe irritation including corneal opacity, iritis and conjunctivitis was noted in all treated eyes throughout the study. Pannus was also noted in five of six animals between days 7 and 21. A hematoma was evident on the cornea of two animals on day 10 of the study and two rabbits exhibited a slight green dicolouration of the conjunctival tissue. Although by day 21, conjunctivitis and iritis cleared from one and two eyes respectively, ocular irritation persisted in all animals through study termination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is corrosive to eyes due to the persistance of irritation which was not fully reversible within the observation period of 21 days
