Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0.1 mL


Duration of treatment / exposure:
- The lids were held together briefly to ensure adequate distribution of the test material.
- The treated eyes of 6 rabbits remained unwashed. The treated eyes of 3 rabbits were washed 30 seconds after instillation
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
7 males and 2 females
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- The treated eyes of 6 rabbits remained unwashed. The treated eyes of 3 rabbits were washed 30 seconds after instillation of the test material with 20 mL warm tap water.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- The general health of the rabbits was monitored during the observation period.
- The ocular reactions of the cornea, iris, and conjunctiva were graded at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days after dosing. The eyes were graded by the Draize scoring system. In determining a positive or negative irritation effect only those scores recorded on Days 1, 2 and 3 were considered.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Reactions were severe in 4/6 unwashed eyes and included opacities which cleared in all but one by Day 7.
Reactions were severe in 1/3 washed eyes (included opacity on Day 2). All positive scores were clear by Day 3.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: EU Criteria: Category 2 irritating to eyes
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the test material was determined to be an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

The potential of the test material to cause irritation to the eye was examined using rabbits according to a method similar to the standardised guideline OECD 405.

During the study, the test material (0.1 mL) was placed once into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of nine rabbits. The lids were held together briefly to ensure adequate distribution of the test material. The untreated eye of each rabbit served as a control. The treated eyes of 6 rabbits remained unwashed. The treated eyes of 3 rabbits were washed 30 seconds after instillation of the test material with 20 mL warm tap water.

Reactions to the test material were severe in 4/6 unwashed eyes and included opacities which cleared in all but one by Day 7. Reactions were severe in 1/3 washed eyes (included opacity on Day 2). All positive scores were clear by Day 3.

Under the conditions of this study the test material was determined to be an eye irritant.
