Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan UK Limited, Bicester, Oxon, UK
- Age at study initiation: Twelve to twenty weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: weight range of 2.0 to 3.5 kg (Animal no. 1: 2.63 kg; Animal No. 2: 2.77 kg and Animal No. 3: 2.43 kg)
- Housing: The animals were individually housed in suspended cages.
- Diet (ad libitum): 2030 Teklad Global Rabbit diet supplied by Harlan Teklad, Blackthorn, Bicester, Oxon, UK
- Water (ad libitum): Mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: At least five days
The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 17 to 23 °C
- Relative humidity: 30 to 70 %
- Air exchanges: At least fifteen changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
No further information on the test animals was stated.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Remarks:
The test material remained in the liquid phase during the study.
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): For the purpose of the study the test material was used as supplied. For the duration of the study, the test material remained in the liquid phase.
A volume of 0.1 ml of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test material, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes.
No further information on the amount/concentration applied was stated.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
see amount/concentration applied
Observation period (in vivo):
Approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 male rabbits (Initial, a single rabbit was treated. After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.)
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
Draize scoring system was used.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.

OTHER OBSERVATIONS:
Any other ocular effects were also noted. Body weight was recorded on Day 0 and Day 3 and body weight changes were recorded. Immediately after administration of the test material, an assessment of the inital pain reaction was made according to a six point scale shown in table 2 (see "Any other information om materials and methods incl. tables" below).
No further information on the study design was stated.
