IN-LIFE DATES: From: 27. August 1981 To: 08. September 1981

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the untreated eye of each animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
- Concentration (if solution): undiluted
Duration of treatment / exposure:
3 animals: 30 seconds, thereafter rinsing
3 animals: 14 days (no rinsing)
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
0.1 mL of the test item was inserted into the conjuctival sac of the left eye of the rabbits and the lids were gently closed for a few seconds. In 3 out of 6 animals approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with physiological saline for about one minute.
The eyes were examined and the grade of ocular reactions recorded at 24, 48 and 72 hours, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment, unless the eye is normal at 7 or 14 days.

Any other information on results incl. tables

No irritation of the eyes and no coloration of the cornea and conjunctiva was observed. The irritation index was found to be 0/110 (score for eye irritation according to Draize, Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics; association of food and drug officials of the, 1959).
