Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
other: White Russian (Albino)
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Animals were 6 months old, 2.0 - 2.3 kg.
Environmental conditoons: Room temperature: 22°C +/- 2°C, relative humidity: 55% +/- 15%
Laboratory and cage cleaning by means of standard antiseptics, instrument and instrument disinfection by autoclave and hot-air sterilizer. Water ad libitum, drinking water quality.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml
Observation period (in vivo):
Examination period; 1, 24, 48, 72 hours post-application; then once daily. Observation period 21 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
9
Details on study design:
0.1 ml of the test substance was transferred once into the conjunctival sac of the right eye. Subsequently, both lids were kept closed for a short time by slight finger pressure. The left eye of each animal remained untreated and served as a control. On the basis of the results of the initial test, two further series of trials were applied to the mucosa with a duration of 4 and 30 seconds. After the exposure time, the eye was rinsed with lukewarm, flow rate approx. 150 ml / min.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
other: 1, 24, 48, 72 hours
Score:
85
Max. score:
110
Reversibility:
not reversible
Irritant / corrosive response data:
In addition to the irritant effects, there was pemanent tissue damage to the conjuctiva.
Other effects:
A test with a limited exposure time (4 and 30 seconds) and subsequent wash out of the substance in 6 animals caused removal of the conjunctival mucous membrane from the matrix. In these places acute bleeding occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Due to some permanant tissue damage to the conjunctiva in all 3 tests, the substance should be classified as Catgory 1, Irreversible Eye Effects.
