Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctival redness (grade 2 and 1) developed in 2 animals (not rinsed and rinsed, respectively), and discharge in 1 animal (not rinsed) was observed. These changes were apparent 1 day after instillation, but not thereafter. Only the results of animals that were not rinsed were taken into account for evaluation.
Other effects:
One animal died 7 days after instillation of the test material and it was stated that no symptoms had been observed prior to death.
