VIABILITY / MORTALITY AND CLINICAL SIGNS

No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred.

 

IRRITATION

FAT 20'075/B showed a primary irritation score of: 1.11, when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye. Slight-to-moderate swelling of the conjunctivae was noted in all animals but was reversible after seven days. Slight-to-moderate watery discharge was evident in all animals, but was reversible in one animal after 72 hours and in two animals after seven days. Hyperemia of the scleral blood vessels was reversible in all animals after seven days.

 

COLORATION

Light red or red staining of the cornea, sclera and conjunctivae by the test article was observed. These findings were reversible after seven days.

 

CORROSION

No corrosion of the cornea was observed at any of the reading times.

 

BODY WEIGHTS

The body weight of the animals was within the normal range of variability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 20075/B is classified as "not irritating" to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

Primary eye irritation study in rabbits with FAT 20075/B was conducted according to OECD 405 guideline and in accordance with GLP in 1995. The primary irritation potential of the test article was investigated by instillation of 0.1 g into one eye of each of three young adult (1 male and 2 female) New Zealand rabbits. The treated eyes were not rinsed after application. Scoring of irritation effects was performed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test article application. The primary irritation score was calculated by totalling the individual cumulative scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours and then dividing the resulting total by the number of figures. No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occurred. The body weight of the animals was within the normal range of variability. It was found to be 1.11, when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye. Swelling of the conjunctivae was reversible after seven days. Watery discharge was evident in all animals, but was reversible in one animal after 72 hours and in two animals after seven days. Hyperemia of the scleral blood vessels was reversible in all animals after seven days. Red staining of the cornea, sclera and conjunctivae by the test article was observed. These findings were reversible after seven days. No corrosion was observed at any of the measuring intervals. Based on the study results FAT 20075/B is classified as "not irritating" to the rabbit eye.
